Winter 2015 ACCESSIBLE RECREATION FOR ALL The City of Port Coquitlam Parks and Recreation Department has a comprehensive offering of tot, children and youth programs. We make every effort to make our programs accessible and inclusive to the entire community.

To ensure the safet y and enjoyment of all participants and staff we ask all parents read the following information.

hildren require additional support for a variety of reasons. Examples include, but are not limited to, Autism, physical or mental limitations, behavioural issues, aggression, language barriers etc. It is important to remember our program leaders are responsible for the entire group and cannot spend extended periods of time focusing on the specific needs of one child. Also important is our leaders do not deal with your child every day, so what may be routine for some parents could be extreme for our instructors. It is important to choose a program appropriate for your child. Our daycamps are active, often hectic, noisy active programs, which go for long walks, take public transit, interact in busy public settings and often have an ever-changing schedule. This type of program, is not appropriate for children who cannot cope with the program agenda. Leisure Buddies assist participants with tasks like focusing on the task at hand, re-direction, ensured involvement, explaining, assisting and group inclusion. Our Leisure Buddies do not provide personal care such as changing, toileting etc, nor can they administer medications. Parents registering children with needs in any of our programs are required to complete the Leisure Buddy Request form, available at any customer service desk or online at www.portcoquitlam.ca/access. Completed forms can be returned to any customer service desk or emailed to grisewoodc@portcoquitlam.ca.

•

Staff require 2 weeks’ notice to find an appropriate volunteers

•

Support is not guaranteed; if support cannot be found, the participant will have to withdraw or transfer to a more appropriate program

•

Support is very limited the first week of summer programs (July 2-6) along with Spring & Christmas breaks

•

Participants are eligible for up to 2 weeks of support; support is based on demand and available resources.

•

Participants are matched with a Leisure Buddy on a first come first served basis

•

It is up to staff discretion whether or not a participant can attend a program without support.

These sessions are for families who require/request support to understand the process and what can be expected from Leisure Buddy support. We will also discuss the Leisure Buddy application and placement process, who Leisure Buddies are, what they do, the focus of the program leaders, who should have support, etc… Please register with Customer Service at any Rec facility, online at www.experienceit.ca, or by phone, at 604-927-PLAY. For more information on program support or Leisure Buddies, please contact Cierra Grisewood, at grisewoodc@portcoquitlam.ca or 604-927-7974. Port Coquitlam’s Parks and Recreation Department offers an Individual Subsidy Program for those experiencing financial hardship. The program provides a maximum subsidy of 50% (to a maximum of $50) for one program or membership per person per quarter. The Parks and Recreation Department welcomes patrons of all abilities. Should you require assistance to participate, we admit your assistant or support person into our programs and drop in activites for free. Personal Assistant Subsidy applications are available from Customer Service. Parks and Recreation staff process Canadian Tire Jumpstart applications.

Registration Note for Parents Please be advised that it is the responsibility of the parent/guardian to register children in the correct level of our swim program. Instructors assess all students on the first day of lessons to ensure that they have been placed correctly. In the event that a child has not been placed correctly, s(he) may be permitted to transfer to an alternate level, based on program availability, at the discretion of the aquatic staff. If no spots are available in an appropriate level, the child may be withdrawn from the program at the discretion of the aquatic staff for safety reasons.

What you should know about Swim Lesson Registration: Not sure which level to register in? If youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re unsure what level your child should be registered in or it has been over a year since their last session, drop by for a FREE evaluation. One of our qualified instructors will assess your child and recommend the appropriate Red Cross level for enrolment. Not Progressing? If your child has been in the same Red Cross level for 3 lesson sets, within a 6 month period, and has not progressed to the next level, we will provide the child with one private lesson. We also offer other programs that may be more suited to the needs of the child, including Performance Enhancers. Cancelled Classes: A minimum of 48 hours before a class starts, lessons may be cancelled where there is insufficient registration. We will attempt to find space in the next available class or issue a full refund. Maximum Number of Registrations:

Program participants can only be registered for 1 swimming lesson set at a time. You may register your child for the next lesson set only after the completion of the lesson set they are currently registered in. Your child may be withdrawn from a program(s) if registered in more than one lesson set per session, or if registered in future lesson sets prior to the completion of the lesson they are currently registered in.

Waitlists:

If the class you want is full, get on the waitlist! Classes with waitlists may replace any classes that have been cancelled. Combined classes:

Combined classes are being offered in an effort to provide a greater variety of class time options to families. In order to avoid cancelling a class, we may be required to move your child to another time in order to combine 2 classes with low enrolment. Program fees:

Program fees cover access to Hyde Creek for participation in Swimming Lessons only on the dates and time listed. Program fees no longer allow participants to use the facility before, or after their lesson.

SEWING – FOR THE LOVE OF THE HOME

Yoga– Strength & Core Conditioning

Strengthening the 29 muscles of your core -- comprised of your stomach, back, hips and pelvis -- improves all functional movement, increases balance and stability, recovers posture and reduces the risk of falling. Without a strong core, other muscles pick up the slack to accomplish everyday movements, which contributes to injuries and reduces overall functionality. Change your body by improving your posture, building core strength and producing long and lean muscles. You’ll stand straighter, feel stronger and become more flexible. Students with a high level of physical fitness welcome. Wilson Centre 5921 W Jan 14-Mar 25 10:30-11:30am $42/$65

Opening Reception: Thursday, Jan 15, 7pm Winston Seaton’s retrospective at Leigh Square represents five decades of the artist’s works that range from representational, semi-abstraction to encaustic paintings.

Winston’s paintings are raw, bulky, physical and energetic. Evident of vibrant gesture, Winston’s canvas is a place of dynamic action as well as pulsating movement of the artist.
