Music and the Mind: A Powerful Combination Music has the ability to facilitate language exploration, reading readiness, mathematical skills and problem-solving skills, as well as the ability to promote social development, self worth and creativity. - Patricia Fiorino, EOCCC Music Curriculum

Elementary Music Program Singing, moving to music and playing instruments energizes our K-8 students! We have specialized staff to deliver our highly-interactive program.

Secondary Music Program Our program emphasizes performance and is aimed at developing technique, sensitivity, and imagination. We also offer a Music Reach Ahead program for Grade 8 students!

Please Help us Keep the Music Playing Do you have an old instrument gathering dust in a corner or tucked away in a closet? Would you like to give it a chance to make music again in the hands of an eager student? If a person donates an instrument to our school, we can provide you with a tax receipt for the appraised value of the item. We can use ANY used instrument. Condition is not important (even worn out instruments often have useable parts).

T H U N D E R B AY U R B A N F O R E S T R Y

Tree Care Guide for Trees on Boulevards Here are a few simple maintenance procedures to ensure the long term health of boulevard trees in the City.

WATERING

Did you know that lack of water is the single greatest factor that leads to the death of newly planted trees? During the first year, your new tree will be equipped with a 20-gallon slowrelease watering bag. We would appreciate your help by filling the bag every 4-7 days between the months of May and November, otherwise the City will arrange for the bag to be filled. Once the water bag has been permanently removed, continue watering once a week during dry spells. Trees should be watered by leaving a trickling hose at the drip line of the tree for 1-2 hours.

CITY OF THUNDER BAY

One of the most beneficial things you can do to keep a tree healthy is the application of mulch. Mulch, which usually consists of chipped wood and bark, insulates the soil, retains moisture, prevents soil compaction, and reduces lawn mower damage. Aim to maintain mulch depth at 5 to 10cm (2 to 4 inches). Further, make sure to keep the mulch a few centimeters away from the trunk and be sure not to mound it against the tree which encourages rodent habitation and other tree health complications. Spread the mulch wide, at least to the drip line.

MULCHING

Drip Line

Newly planted trees need nutrients to stay healthy. You can use tree fertilizer stakes to feed your tree by applying these stakes into the soil at the dripline of the tree as soon as the ground thaws in the spring.This type of fertilizing method slowly releases nutrients to the treeâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s roots. Fertilizer stakes can be found at most tree nurseries or outdoor centres. For fertilizer quantities follow the directions on the label. Do not fertilize your tree in late summer; it will stimulate growth preventing the tree from preparing itself for winter.

FERTILIZING Tree pruning is a highly technical skill that requires specialized knowledge and expertise. The City is responsible for the pruning of all trees on public land to ensure they develop strong structure and desirable form. However, when your boulevard tree reaches a height of 5m (16ft) you are permitted under certain circumstances to prune small branches. Please call if your tree requires pruning or to find out what you are permitted to prune on your tree. A Guide to Pruning is available on our website. To become further educated and involved in tree pruning sign up for the Cityâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Citizen Pruner Program.

PRUNING

STAKING One year after tree planting, please remove the stakes and cloth supports. If you are unable to remove the stakes yourself, or if you notice many trees in your area that are still staked a year or more after planting, please call

thunderbay.ca/urbanforestry or call 625-

Did you know that trees lower heating and cooling bills, reduce chances of flooding, slow road traffic, make neighbourhoods safer, and increase property values. These are just some of the ways in which trees pay us back by being in our neighbourhoods.

INTERESTED IN A BOULEVARD TREE IN FRONT OF YOUR HOME? Hereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s how to get one: OPTION 1: TSP Homeowners can participate in the Tree Stewardship Program by paying for a portion (approx. $175) of the cost of a tree and have it professionally planted. The Tree Stewardship Program is a cost-shared, accelerated tree planting approach that empowers homeowners to become stewards of their public boulevard trees. To sign up visit: thunderbay.ca/ urbanforestry or call 625- . Taxdeductible receipts will be issued.

OPTION 2: Wait 2 years The City will provide a 50mm diameter tree at no cost to the homeowner, however, there is a two-year waiting list. Call 625- if you wish to be put on the waiting list. OPTION 3: Pay full cost Homeowners can arrange for the planting of a 50mm diameter tree and pay for the full cost of the tree and installation (approx. $500). Approval by the City must be obtained first by calling 625- . Tax receipts will be issued.

Please Note: Not all boulevard locations will qualify for tree planting due to space & utility restrictions. Trees under the Tree Stewardship Program are planted in spring and fall. If you call two months before our scheduled planting, we will try to accommodate your request. Please remember all trees on municipal property are protected by law. Please call Parks & Open Spaces at to request a tree or to have a public tree assessed or pruned.

The City of Thunder Bayâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Commemorative Tree Program is a wonderful opportunity to celebrate a special person or occasion by purchasing a tree for installation in a public park. Commemorative gifts can be donated for life events such as marriages, births, deaths, graduations, anniversaries, birthdays, baptisms, retirements or special events. Whatever the occasion, the legacy is yours to give.

PARENT & TOT 2 Ratio 1:12 Designed for the 12 to 24-month-old to learn to enjoy the water with the parent, Unassisted entries/exits. Floats with an aid, submersion in water, activities with instructor/other parents. PARENT & TOT 3 Ratio 1:12 Designed for the 2 to 3-year-old to learn to enjoy the water with the parent. Your child will experience safety awareness and water skills through discovery, front and back floats, submersion and movement skills. Active parent participation is required. PRESCHOOL A Ratio 1:4 We encourage the parent to participate until their child lets them know they can do it themselves (thank you very much). These preschoolers will have fun learning to get in and out of the water. We’ll help them jump into chest deep water. They’ll try floats on their front and back, and glides on their back while wearing a personal flotation device (PFD). They’ll learn to get their face wet and blow bubbles underwater. PRESCHOOL B Ratio 1:4 These preschoolers learn to jump into chest deep water by themselves, and get in and get out wearing a personal flotation device. They’ll submerge and exhale underwater. While wearing a personal flotation device they’ll glide on their front and back. Prerequisite: Completed Preschool A. PRESCHOOL C Ratio 1:4 These youngsters will try both jumping and a side roll into deep water while wearing a personal flotation device. They’ll recover objects from the bottom in waist-deep water. They’ll work on kicking and gliding through the water on their front and back. Prerequisite: Completed Preschool B. PRESCHOOL D Ratio 1:4 Advanced preschoolers will learn to do solo jumps into deeper water and get out by themselves. They’ll do side roll entries and open their eyes underwater. They’ll master a short (3–5 m) swim on their front and gliding and kicking on their side. Prerequisite: Completed Preschool C.

PRESCHOOL E Ratio 1:4 These youngsters get more adventuresome with a forward roll entry wearing a PFD and holding their breath underwater for up to 10 sec. They’ll work on longer front and back crawl swims, interval training and get a giggle out of whip kick. Prerequisite: Completed Preschool D. SWIMMER 1 Ratio 1:4 These beginners will become comfortable jumping into water with and without a personal flotation device. They’ll learn to open their eyes, exhale and hold their breath underwater. They’ll work on floats, glides and kicking through the water on their front and back. Prerequisite: Beginner, non-swimmer or Preschool A, B or C. SWIMMER 2 Ratio 1:4 These advanced beginners will jump into deeper water, and learn to be comfortable falling sideways into the water wearing a personal flotation device. They’ll be able to support themselves at the surface without an aid, learn whip kick, swim 10–15 m on their front and back, and be introduced to flutter kick interval training (4 x 9–12 m). Prerequisite: Swimmer 1 or Preschool D or E. SWIMMER 3 Ratio 1:5 These junior swimmers will dive and do in-water front somersaults. Their new bag of tricks includes handstands and completion of the Canadian Swim to Survive® Standard. They’ll work on 10 15m of front crawl, back crawl and whip kick. Flutter kick interval training increases to 4 x 25 m. Prerequisite: Swimmer 2. SWIMMER 4 Ratio 1:5 These intermediate swimmers will swim 5 m underwater and lengths of front, back crawl, whip kick, and breaststroke arms with breathing. They’ll cap it all off with front crawl sprints over 25 m and 4 x 25 m front or back crawl interval training. Prerequisite: Swimmer 3. SWIMMER 5 Ratio 1:6 These swimmers will master shallow dives, cannonball entries, eggbeater kicks, and in-water backward somersaults. Surface dives will take them down to underwater swims. They’ll refine their front and back crawl over 50 m swims of each, and breaststroke over 15–25m. Then they’ll pick up the pace in 25 m sprints and two interval training bouts: 4 x 50 m front or back crawl; and 4 x 10–15 m breaststroke. Prerequisite: Swimmer 4.

SWIMMER 6 Ratio 1:6 These advanced swimmers will rise to the challenge of sophisticated aquatic skills including stride entries, compact jumps and lifesaving kicks like eggbeater and scissor kick. They’ll develop strength and power in head-up breaststroke sprints over 25 m. They’ll easily swim lengths of front crawl, back crawl, and breaststroke, and they’ll complain about the 300 m workout. Prerequisite: Swimmer 5. SWIMMER 7 (ROOKIE) Ratio 1:8 Swimmers continue stroke development with 50m swims of front crawl, back crawl and breaststroke. Lifesaving sport skills include a 25 m obstacle swim and 15m object carry. First aid focuses on assessment of conscious victims, contacting EMS, and treatment for bleeding. Fitness improves in 350 m workouts and 100 m timed swims. Prerequisite: Swimmer 6. SWIMMER 8 (RANGER) Ratio 1:8 Swimmers develop better strokes over 75 m swims of each stroke. They tackle lifesaving sport skills in a lifesaving medley, timed object support and rescue with a buoyant aid.
