MUNICIPAL INFORMATION

Fall Leaf Collection Program The Region of Waterloo will collect bagged leaves as part of their yard waste collection program. Collection will occur in Baden, Foxboro, Haysville, Mannheim, New Dundee, New Hamburg, Petersburg, Shingletown and St. Agatha as well as other designated areas (check the collection map in your Wilmot Waste Collection Calendar). Items to remember: • Collection is every second week, on your collection day. The yard waste program runs from April to November each year. Check your collection calendar for the specific collection weeks. • Leaves in Kraft paper bags or in garbage cans identified with a coloured ribbon or a Region of Waterloo yard waste sticker will be collected. Call the Region at 519-883-5100 to receive a free yard waste sticker. • NO plastic bags permitted. Leaves and yard waste will not be collected if in plastic bags or cardboard boxes. • Yard waste and leaves only. No patio stones, plastic planters, concrete, glass, plastic, rocks, tree stumps, or branches in excess of 7.5 cm (3 in.) in diameter. • All items must be out at the curb by 7 a.m. on your collection day. Separate the yard waste bags from your garbage containers for easy access. • Containers must weigh less than 23 kg (50 lbs). • Check your waste collection calendar for more information on this and other waste management services. Interested in alternatives to bagging your leaves? Give your lawn and garden much needed moisture retention and nutrients by mulching your leaves. Slowly push your lawn mower a few times through dry leaves for best results. Compost your leaves by adding small quantities to your back yard compost bin. Or prepare a separate compost heap that can produce a high quality, nutrient-rich soil amendment for your garden and flowerbeds.

Snow Removal Snow Plowing Do’s and Don’ts 1) Help Your Hydrant If your hydrant is buried by drifts or snowbanks, please dig it out or call the Public Works Department at 519-634-8444 2) Remember….You Have 24 Hours All property owners are required to remove snow and ice on the sidewalks adjacent to their property 24 hours after a winter storm ends. 3) Don’t Get the Windrow Woes We understand your frustration when you clear your driveway and then a plow comes by and leaves a pile of snow – a windrow. Unfortunately it’s impossible to plow without leaving one. 4) Overnight Parking – Winter Enforcement Parking is prohibited between 2:30 a.m. and 6:00 a.m. during the winter season (December 1st to March 31st). By-Law Enforcement will be actively enforcing this provision in order to alleviate any interference with winter maintenance operations. Failure to adhere to the by-law may result in a fine or towing of your vehicle. 5) By-law 84-72 Please remember that it is illegal to deposit snow from driveways / laneways onto the road. Those found to be in contravention of the by-law may be subject to a fine up to $2,000 6) Be Patient When plowing operations begin in a snow event the plows have routes to follow that are designed to minimize duplication and maximize efficiency. Plowing operations take approximately 5 hours without an excessive amount of snow, longer with more. Sanding and salting operations commence after plowing. 7) Curbside Basketball Nets Please ensure that basketball nets are placed well away from the edge of the roadway to allow for safe and efficient plowing operations. Any questions or concerns regarding snow removal may be directed to the Public Works Department at 519-634-8444

How to have Successfull Swimming Lessons • Visit the pool before swimming lessons start. Give you child a tour of the facility. • Have fun and swim with your child during a recreational swim prior to beginning lessons and practice skills they already know. • Set realistic expectations with your child and allow your child to feel that there are no expectations to complete a level each session. Swimmers often need more than one set of lessons in order to gain the skills that will allow them to complete a level. • Make sure you bring any concerns to the instructor in a timely manner. • If your child has a medical concern or a learning challenge, please speak to the instructor at the first lesson. This will allow us to help your child get the most out of their lesson.

Lesson Information • Please return your most recent progress card to your Swimming Instructor. These will be updated and returned on the last lesson. • Participants will be screened on the first lesson to ensure they are enrolled in the appropriate level. We will do our best to get your child into the appropriate level. Unfortunately, we cannot guarantee that a space in the level you require will be available during your current lesson time. • Each swimming level has items that must be completed correctly a minimum of 3 times on separate lessons in order for that item to be complete. (According to the standards set by the Lifesaving Society.) Attendance is important in your child’s success in the program.

Volunteers Needed! Volunteers need to be at least 12 years of age and hold your Star Patrol or Swim Kids 10 badge. Volunteers are required to be available for the entire session. Please complete a volunteer application form and submit it to the Customer Service Rep at the Wilmot Recreation Complex. A staff member will contact you to set up your shift.

Admission Policy for Recreational Swims WAC staff members are experts trained in aquatic emergencies. They are required to supervise all patrons in the pool and cannot act in a child care capacity. Parental supervision of all children under 10 years of age is strongly recommended during all pool visits. Children aged 7 and under and children 8 – 10 years who are weak or non- swimmers • Must be accompanied by a responsible parent or guardian 13 years of age or older who is responsible for their direct supervision. A Maximum of 2 children for each parent/ guardian • Children wearing personal flotation devices (water wings, lifejackets etc) must be supervised at all times Children aged 8 to 10 years of age who are strong swimmers • May be admitted into the pool without direct supervision provided they are able to demonstrate the ability to pass the Aquatic Swim test. This test consists of a 25 meter swim completed comfortably by the swimmer without stopping or putting their feet on the bottom. • Parents/ Guardians must remain in the facility until the swim test is completed successfully. If the child is unable to complete the swim test, the Parent/ Guardian will be required to participate with the child. “Direct supervision” is defined as being in the water and able to render immediate assistance. Persons who have known seizure disorders or other serious medical disorders are at greater risk while swimming. Those individuals should be accompanied and supervised by another individual knowledgeable on their condition.

Wrist Band Policy In conjunction with our admission policy we will be issuing wrist bands to young swimmers. • Children 7 years of age or younger will be given a RED ribbon for their wrist. These children must be accompanied in the water at all times by a parent or guardian 13 years of age or older who must remain within arm’s reach at all times. • Children 8 – 10 years of age will be given a YELLOW ribbon for their wrist if they wish to perform a swim test to see if they can swim unaccompanied. Parents or the guardian must be in the facility until the child has performed the swim test to ensure the child is able to swim alone. • If the child passes the swim test, they can have their wrist band removed and will be written in the swim test book for future reference. • If they do not pass the swim test, they will be issued a RED ribbon for their wrist and will be required to swim within arm’s reach of a parent or guardian 13 years of age or older who is in the pool.

Yin/Yang Yoga This class balances deep stretching with dynamic movements as it evolves from yin to yang. The structure of this class begins with long-held passive postures that will open the body to more flexibility and foster an introspective, non-reactive state of mind.

Wilmot Aquatic Aces Swim Team

ACES REP LEVELS

Welcome to the Wilmot Aquatic ACES Club. Our programs are designed to accommodate all levels of swimmers, from “learn-to-swim” to those competing at provincial, national and international competitions. Swimmers develop skills, improve their strokes and compete in a fun yet challenging environment. The ACES are an inclusive team taking pride in our diversity in the water and on the deck! All levels have some competitions. The level of competition is determined by the level the swimmer is in. The best way to see the improvement is to watch the child swim at a meet. Our season run from September to June each year.

The ACES swim in 5 levels (Bronze 1, Bronze 2, Silver 1, Silver 2 and Gold), allowing our athletes to progress to the best of their abilities and compete at various levels from introductory to national level meets. This program runs from Sept 21st to end of June. Proper technique in all four competitive strokes, starts, turns, and streamlining skills are taught by our coaching staff. Swimmers practice three to six days per week depending on level. All levels will have a dryland class as well. Allowing the ACES to continue developing a positive role in the health and well being of our youth.

ACES program: This program is an introductory or house league level of swimming. It is geared at swimmers 3 years of age to 16 years who are new to swimming or just want to say in shape. All groups are two times per week in water. This year all groups have an opportunity to participate in dryland training as well. The program runs from Sept 21 to May 8th.

ACES 1: Active Start is for swimmers aged 3- 6 years

of age. The main goal of the program is to build self confidence and positive self esteem while teaching the fundamentals of swimming. This group does not compete in swim meets ACES 2: Fundamentals is for swimmers aged 5 to 8 for females and 6 to 9 for males. The main goals are to develop all four strokes, start some aerobic conditioning, work on co-ordination and the basics of dryland training. This group will compete in Aqua 7 meets only ACES 3: Learn to Train will continue to work on all four strokes while improving technique, and start to work on core body strength and speed work. Ages: 8 to 11 year old females and 9-12 year old males. This group also includes the opportunity to do a dryland class once a week. This level will compete in Aqua 7 meets and two invitationals ACES 4: Train to Train is geared at the 11-14 year old female and 12 to 15 year old male.

Wilmot Jujitsu - Professional Self Defense

Church Menâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Fastball League

Wilmot Jujitsu abides by the traditional values of Jujitsu, where the passing of knowledge of the art is of primary importance. We believe that the true values of Jujitsu transcend its technical aspects of training; more important are the developments of mental and moral characteristics such as: Patience, Courage, Self Control, Self Confidence and Humility. At Wilmot Jujitsu we practice the following arts: Shinki Ryu Jujitsu, Genbukan Ninpo (tai jutsu), International Motobu Ha Shito Ryu Karate, and Hiden Mugai Ryu Iaido. Shinki Ryu Jujitsu is an effective self defense system and is the foundation of what is taught. It is designed to enhance the confidence of the practitioner while training in a friendly, relaxed and non-competitive atmosphere. Advanced Practitioners are allowed to train in both Karate/ Kobujutsu and Iaido/Kenjutsu. Genbukan Ninpo is offered to advanced students of Shinki Ryu or to students that are specifically interested in Genbukan Ninpo. Ninpo Bugei focuses on teaching the illumination, awareness and defense of mind, body and spirit. It is the essence of traditional Ninjutsu techniques. This is restricted to adult students ages 14 and up. Wilmot Jujitsu teaches young children (ages 5-9), youth (ages 9-13) and adults (ages 14 and up).
