MAYOR & COUNCIL

MAYOR’S MESSAGE Welcome to the Spring & Summer 2020 Community Services Program Guide.

This guide contains information on a variety of recreation programs and activities for all ages.

Are you interested in starting a new fitness routine and want to try a yoga, volleyball or swimming class? Or are you thinking ahead on how to keep your kids busy during the summer? Browse through this guide to check out all the options to explore.

The Town of Aurora offers many camp programs throughout the year. Town camps are exciting, safe and led by qualified camp staff. Camps are open to children ages 4 to 15 and are designed to meet the varied interests, learning and developmental needs of all participants.

For nature enthusiasts, we encourage you to discover the many parks and trails around Town. Our trail system spans over 62 kilometres and are considered multiuse, with a primary focus on pedestrian hikers. Most trails are compact gravel surfaces with some asphalt sections through neighbourhood and community parks.

Visit aurora.ca/trails to download a copy of Aurora’s Streets, Parks & Trails Map. Enjoy the warm weather!

Sincerely,

Front Row (L-R): Councillor Wendy Gaertner Councillor Rachel Gilliland Mayor Tom Mrakas Councillor Sandra Humfryes Councillor Michael Thompson

INTEGRATION SERVICES

INTEGRATION SERVICES The Town of Aurora welcomes and encourages all residents to participate in our recreation programs and services. Support workers are welcome to attend all programs. Mediator Passes are available to allow the individual requiring support to be accompanied by a Mediator into our Aquatics, Fitness, Gymnasium drop-in programs and pay as you go activities without additional cost to the Mediator.

To apply for a Mediator Pass, please contact the respective Coordinator for more details.

Aquatics

Community Programs

Aquatic Integration Services: Swimming is a valuable activity for everyone. Please turn to page 48 for more information on programs available or contact Gregory Peri for more information at gperi@aurora.ca or 905-727-3123 ext. 3515.

The Town of Aurora offers integration services to help meet the needs of residents of all abilities.

When considering a recreation experience, please consider the individual needs, and that the recreation integrated setting may not be suitable for all persons with disabilities. Health and Safety of participants and staff is paramount, which could result in participants being denied access to the program.

Fitness Aqua Therapy: This program, completed exclusively in our therapy pool, is designed to be gentle on the joints while focusing on muscle conditioning, improving strength, balance and flexibility. The program is designed to allow participants to stay active, reduce chronic pain and aid in preventing future injuries.

For more information on any fitness program, please contact Wayne De Ryck at wderyck@aurora.ca or Diana Dawson-Young at ddawsonyoung@aurora.ca or call 905-726-4764.

Arthritis Aquafit: Club Aurora offers a 45-minute specialty class for people who suffer from arthritis. The objectives of these recreational exercises are to reduce pain, help maintain or increase joint mobility, and increase muscular strength and endurance.

Heart Wise Exercise: The Heart Wise Exercise initiative is intended to integrate the cardiac population into mainstream programs by addressing their physical and psychological needs. The program provides exercise options to help participants choose appropriate programs and levels of intensities, while encouraging participants to do daily physical activities. A Heart Wise logo is located beside class descriptions that are Heart Wise approved exercise programs.

T.I.M.E.: This program was developed by the Toronto Rehab Centre for those who have suffered a stroke, are experiencing some neurological muscular difficulties, have MS or have suffered a brain injury. It works to improve balance and coordination to allow you to live as independently and confidently as possible. Note: Participants should be able to walk 10 metres with or without a walking aid. Please call 905-726-4764 or email fitness@aurora.ca for more information.

Note: Service animals are welcome at all Town-owned and operated facilities.

The Town of Aurora welcomes participants of all ages and abilities to join our camp or program opportunities. In order to facilitate opportunities for persons with an exceptionality, we will work closely with the parent/guardian/caregiver to pursue the ideal camp or program collaboratively. If the participant needs additional support, we will work together to find a suitable solution through external resources, staffing or volunteers.

A person requires integration services if: • They benefit from extra support in the classroom at school or at home.

• A physical, medical, developmental and/or learning disability exists that affects the safety of the other participants.

• Extra support is needed at home for basic care such as dressing and toileting.

• The individual is currently associated with a support agency or program.

• There are behaviours to be managed (ie. biting, scratching, pinching, etc.).

Families/Guardians/Caregivers are required to complete an “Intake Form” to help staff with any program adaptations. When considering a recreation experience, please consider the individual needs, and that the recreation integrated setting may not be suitable for all persons with disabilities. Health and Safety of participants and staff is paramount, which could result in participants being denied access to the program.

How do I register for integration services?

1. Select a program/camp the individual would like to participate in from our current Community Services Program Guide.

2. Contact our Community Programmer to discuss your registration plans and support options by phone at 905-727- 3123 ext. 3121 or by email at vkendra@aurora.ca.

3. Complete a participant “Intake Form” that is to be reviewed by the Community Programmer to determine what kind of support is required in order for the participant to be successful in the integrated, recreational setting. Example: volunteer support, Town staff support (additional hourly costs apply) or external support (required at own cost).

4. Register for your program.

5. The Community Programmer will confirm your support requirements prior to the start of the program and camp chosen.

LIBRARY SQUARE

LIBRARY SQUARE IS COMING! The Town of Aurora is creating a new arts, culture and heritage centre that strives to engage residents, build community, forge partnerships, honour history and culture, and promote downtown revitalization.

Currently known as Library Square, the full scope of the project includes:

• A 32,000 square foot addition to the Church Street School that features performance space, visual arts studios, museum storage, multi-purpose dance studio, program rooms, café and catering kitchen.

• A vibrant open air square featuring amphitheatre, water feature, skating loop and seating areas.

• An enclosed pedestrian link between the new facility and existing public library, with accessible connection to Yonge Street and downtown.

• New library programming space and rooftop reading garden.

Construction is scheduled to begin in 2020 and end in 2022. Throughout 2020, Town staff will be engaging residents about the types of programs and services they would like to see at Aurora’s newest cultural facility.

PHYSICAL LITERACY & SPORT FOR LIFE Physical literacy is the motivation, confidence, physical competence, knowledge and understanding to value and take responsibility for engagement in physical activities for life. ~ International Physical Literacy Association, May 2014

Competence Development of fundamental movement skills (e.g. run, wheel, jump, throw) in different environments (land, water, air, ice/snow).

Confidence Developed in welcoming and inclusive environments that allow everyone to participate at their own abilities in a way that challenges them.

Motivation Developed in program environments that are fun and exciting, that have a purpose to develop skills, and facilitate knowledge about activities to value the importance of being active.

At its essence, quality sport and physical activity is achieved when the right people do the right things at the right times, which leads to positive experiences for participants. There are a number of elements, designed with everyone in mind, including women and girls, indigenous populations, participants with exceptionalities, and newcomers to Canada, that can lead to quality sport experiences in any sport program.

Good programs that are developmentally appropriate: • participant centered • progressive and challenging • well planned • designed for meaningful competition

Good people, who are caring and knowledgeable include: • coaches, officials, instructors and teachers • parents and caregivers • partners • leader

Good places, creating good feelings: • inclusive and welcoming • fun and fair • holistic • safe

Look for this symbol throughout the program guide to identify programs that are enriched with physical literacy.

WHAT TO EXPECT FROM SWIMMING LESSONS Support your child’s learning through participation in the recreational swimming programs. Learning to swim can be enjoyable, but like many skills, it takes time, practise and patience. It is important to remember that each swimmer advances at their own pace. Not completing a level the first time, or even the second time, simply means there are important skills to continue to improve upon.

Success in swimming lessons comes in many different forms learning new skills, increasing confidence, and gaining a feeling of accomplishment.

WHAT LEVEL SHOULD I REGISTER IN? Visit our pool and one of the Aquatic Staff can assist you in determining what level to register in. The Aquatics division offers free swimming lesson assessments. Please contact the Deck Supervisor on duty to request a screening during scheduled leisure swim times.

REPEATING A LEVEL? Show your last report card to the Instructor to allow practise time on skills requiring development. To progress to the next level, all items must be completed.

LESSON START TIME Participants should go to the pool deck at the lesson start time (not earlier). You may wish to escort your child to their lesson on the first day to meet the Instructor. Please remove outdoor shoes in the shower area and pool deck.

MAKE-UP LESSONS Occasionally lessons may be cancelled due to pool fouling, mechanical, or chemical problems. Makeup classes due to participant’s illness or personal commitments will not be available.

Dry-land water safety lessons are part of all learn-to-swim programs.

Where a pool may close in an untimely manner, Instructors will use the time to focus on dry land water safety. If this is not possible, a credit may be issued for the missed class.

36

PARENT’S DAY Parent’s Day will take place during the 5th lesson. Classes will end 5 min. early to give parents the opportunity to talk to their child’s instructor about their progress. If you wish to visit on deck, please remember to remove your shoes! Please note that picture taking is only permitted on Picture Day. PICTURE DAY Picture Day will take place during the 6th lesson. Parents are invited on deck to watch their child’s swimming lesson and take pictures. If you wish to visit on deck, please remember to remove your shoes.

Please note that picture taking is only permitted on this day.

POOL FOULING/CLOSURE To reduce the number of closures due to pool fouling, participants not toilet trained are required to wear snug fitting plastic pants. No disposable diapers. Also, please keep eating to a minimum prior to swimming. Swim diapers are available at the Customer Service Desk.

CHANGE ROOM GUIDELINE For the comfort of all patrons, participants 7 years of age and older must use the change room of which gender they identify with. The family change room is for mixed gender families, or persons needing accessible shower or changing spaces.

Town of Aurora | Community Services | www.aurora.ca

PARKS & TRAILS PEDESTRIAN TRAIL SYSTEM The Town of Aurora is fortunate to have an extensive pedestrian trail system which connects many of its neighbourhood parks, Town facilities and open space corridors. Presently the Town maintains approximately 62 kilometers of trails.

Come out and enjoy a leisurely hike through the natural valley land setting of mixed forests, meadows and wetland habitats of the Holland River Valley Trail. This trail is Aurora’s longest trail corridor stretching from Vandorf in the south (just west of Bayview Avenue) all the way up to St. John’s Sideroad at Industrial Parkway North. The trail corridor links municipal facilities such as the Town Hall, the Senior’s Centre and the Aurora Family Leisure Complex as well as the Aurora Community Arborteum, Sheppard’s Bush and Lambert Willson Park.

Another significant trail corridor is the Willow Farm, Lakeview Trail system; a trail linking parks and linear open space corridors within the forested hills of St. Andrews in northwest Aurora. The topography is very undulating as the trail rises up to one of the highest points of elevation within Aurora.

All Aurora trails are considered multi-use, with the primary focus being pedestrian hikers. Opportunities also exist for cross country skiers. The majority of our trails are compact gravel surfaces with some asphalt sections through neighbourhood and community parks. Please note that our trails are not groomed or maintained during winter months, and conditions vary widely. Surface conditions can change dramatically during the winter to create potentially hazardous hiking and skiing conditions. All users are advised to respect other trail users, to stay on designated trails and to exercise caution at all times.

COMMUNITY PARKS & SPORTS FACILITIES The town currently has over 75 parks and open space areas including 44 playgrounds encompassing over 700 acres, 3 children’s water-play splash pads, 35 soccer fields, 18 ball diamonds and a wide variety of other recreational activities. Please come out and enjoy what Aurora has to offer!

Our latest addition is Thomas Coates Park; it is located at 234 Mavrinac Blvd. This park has tennis, pickleball and basketball courts, a playground, an open play-space and on-sight parking.

For further information please visit www.aurora.ca/thingstodo EMERALD ASH BORER The Emerald Ash Borer is an invasive insect that kills all types of healthy ash trees. The insect was discovered in Aurora in 2011. While the Emerald Ash Borer poses no risk to human health, it is a significant threat to our forests.

The Town currently has a vendor in place to provide treatment services to combat the spread of the Emerald Ash Borer.

The contract will provide for the preventative application of a pesticide approved in Canada that has shown to protect ash trees from the EAB. Approximately 2,000 publicly-owned trees along boulevards and rights-ofway have been identified in the Town’s street tree inventory as potential candidates for treatment. Trees meeting the treatment criteria will be marked by Town staff with a small green, highly-visible painted dot.

MEMORIAL TREE & PARK BENCH DEDICATION PROGRAM Would you like to establish “Lasting Roots” in your community? Are you looking for a unique gift idea for that special person or occasion? Perhaps you feel like making an investment in greening your community? If so, we encourage you to contact the Parks Division to find out more about the memorial tree planting and park bench dedication program. Please call 905-727-3123 ext 3233 or email eharrison@aurora.ca.

AURORA ADOPT-A-PARK IS YOUR CHANCE TO GROW WITH THE COMMUNITY Over 700 acres of Parkland, an outstanding trail system and friendly treelined streets contribute to Aurora’s natural beauty and make it a place we are proud to call home.

Did you know that the Adopt-A-Park program provides local businesses, community groups and residents with the opportunity to enhance the environment and beautify our town by assisting with the maintenance and developement of Aurora’s parks and trail systems? Adopt-A-Park continues to: • Create opportunities for citizens to support our parks and green spaces.

• Share the responsibility for a clean community.

• Develop opportunities for youth involvement.

• Build community pride and a sense of ownership in our parklands.

Including tree and shrub plantings, there are a number of ways for individuals, interested groups and organizationst to become involved in this exciting program. Please contact the Parks Division at 905-727-3123 ext. 3233 for further information or email eharrison@aurora.ca.
