So far, 2013 has been a spectacular year for celebrations in Port Coquitlam!

And we’ve had a lot to celebrate. In addition to our year-long birthday celebrations to com-memorate 100 years of PoCo Pride, we were also recognized as one of the most livable cities across the country! We want to thank all of our residents who came out and helped make our events a success by showing your community pride and community spirit – that is after all what makes Port Coquitlam unique.

This season, our Parks & Recreation Department have done another fabulous job of offering a variety of activities for the entire family.

On behalf of City Council and staff, we hope to see you at one of our facilities, taking part in one of the many programs that are available. We also look forward to seeing you at one of our upcoming civic events that will be taking place for the remainder of the year, such as the Terry Fox Hometown Run on September 15th and the Rivers & Trails Festival on September 29th.

Another highlight this year will be our ‘City at Work – Celebrating 100 Years of Service’ event that will showcase the services that Port Coquitlam has been providing to our residents over the past 100 years. This family-friendly event is taking place on Saturday, September 21 from 10 am to 2 pm at the Operations Centre at 1737 Broadway Street. We encourage you to come out and see firsthand what type of services we provide to our com-munity – it promises to be an entertaining, interactive and fun day.

Further details about these and all other upcoming events and activities that are taking place in our City are available on our website at www.portcoquitlam.ca.

Come out and celebrate, Port Coquitlam!

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.

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, inter-act in busy public settings and often have an ever-changing schedule. This type of program, is not appropriate for chil-dren who cannot cope with the program agenda.

LEISuRE BuDDIES assist participants with tasks like focusing on the task at hand, re-direction, ensured involve-ment, 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 pro-grams 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 [email protected].

• 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.

4

C • 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 [email protected] or 604-927-7974.

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 you’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.

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.

HYDROTHERAPY CLASSESPort Coquitlam Physiotherapy & Sports Injury Clinic offers advanced physio-therapy for the whole family from chronic pain and post surgery to sports, auto and work-related injuries. A unique service offered is their hydrotherapy classes held Monday, Wednesday and Friday from 10:55am to 11:55am at Hyde Creek. For more information, contact 604.945.6644 or visit portcoquitlamphysiotherapy.tel.

TIDAL WAvE AQuATICS Tidal Wave Aquat-ics is an exciting and unique program offered by Kidsfirst Physio. While the positive impact of physical exercise in the buoyancy and resistance of water is well documented, we have added an extra plus to our program. Under the personal supervision of Brenda Horton, B.S.R. P.T. (reg), MCPA, carefully trained youth assistants who work directly with the children in the water offer one-on-one ratio of assistance to each child. Each specifically prescribed pool therapy pro-gram is developed and maintained by Brenda, yet presented with the unsurpass-able enthusiasm and energy of the youth. The benefits of this combination to those involved in our pool program are unmistakable. The unique socialization atmosphere provided develops a bond that makes the “therapy” even more fun, appealing, and valuable to the children. Participants must undergo a physical assessment to determine need and appro-priate physiotherapy plan prior to approval for the program. For more information about Tidal Wave Aquatics or to book an initial assessment visit, contact Kidsfirst Physio at 604-463-7537 or email to [email protected].

DOG OFF-LEASH PArk

A dog off-leash park is an ideal place where owners can take their dogs to run freely without a leash. However off-leash does not mean “out of control”. Pet owners must ensure their pets are controlled and not violent or aggres-sive. Pet owners must be onsite for the duration and must have a leash immediately available.

In order to ensure the safety of you and your pet, when visiting the dog park:• Pleaseavoidbringingtoysandfoodtotheoff-leasharea;• Pleasepickupafteryourdogandfillinanyholesyourdogdigs toensureacleanandsafeplayarea;• Avaliddoglicenseandcurrentvaccinationforyourdogis required.

Current Dog Off-Leash Parks are located at:3345 Shaughnessy Street2501 Maple Street

rAILSIDE SkATE PArkThe railside Skate Park located on Lions way off of Shaughnessy Street in Port Coquitlam was opened on May 8, 2005. Hailed by some of the best skaters as one of the top three concrete parks in the lower mainland, the railside has something for everyone regardless of age or ability. Spend the day there skating or biking the up-gaps, stair-sets, ledges, the signature bank-to-picnic table, a slappy wall, various hips and rails, the big bowl that boasts 5’, 7’, 8’, 9’ walls, and a 13’ over-vert pocket. There are numerous events and competitions held at this location during the summer months, and between July and August, park hosts are on site

CAnADIAn SOCIETY OF PAInTERS In WATERCOLOR, BC REGIOn Openingreception:Saturday,Oct26,2-4pmwithafreetalkbydavidMcEown.Register for special watercolour workshops as part of the exhibit.

The Canadian Society of Painters in Water Colour (CSPWC) was founded in 1925 by some of the most illustrious artists in Canadian art history who passionately believed in the importance of watercolour as a medium. The CSPWC encourages experimentation while honouring the transparent tradition of the medium. In partnership with the Friends of Leigh Square, the CSPWC artists of British Columbia will present an exhibition of over 30 of these painters. Although watercolour painting is extremely old, dating per-haps to the cave paintings of paleolithic Europe and better known for manuscript illumi-nation in Egypt and the European Middle Ages, its continuous history as an art medium begins in the Renaissance. Watercolour has a unique ability to summarize, clarify and idealize in full colour, and is now as durable and colourful as oil or acrylic paints. This selection of watercolour works will reflect the unique styles and varied subjects of these artists, several of whom have won national and international awards.

The aim of King and his fellow contributors is to shed a new light on Port Coquitlam, intended to surprise local viewers by giving them a peek into an artist’s perspective of their beloved place of residence in a way that they may forget exists. He presents every-thing from residential, to rural, industrial, and urban across the seasons. In doing this, he encourages all to look at their city and streets with the same sense of wonderment one does when traveling different lands. Every moment is as memorable as you make it.

ALCuIn SOCIETY AWARDS FOR EXCELLEnCE In BOOK DESIGn In CAnADA & WEST COAST LITERARY PORTRAITS

Opening Reception: Saturday, Sep 28 2-4pm as part of Culture Days.

Are you a scrapbooker? Do you have a fascination with illuminated manuscripts? Have you always dreamed of publish-ing a book of your own? Leigh Square presents an exhibition of award-winning books from Canada’s one and only Alcuin Society which was established in 1981 and showcases the award-winning books in a catalogue and exhibits them nation-ally and internationally each year. The

designs are a visual feast for the eyes and a typography dream. Complementing the Alcuin show will be a series of portraits from Mother Tongue Publishing. Selected photographs will be featured from Mother Tongue’s most recent publication entitled 111 West Coast Literary Portraits which profiles, in black & white, 111 figures in literature from the West Coast by Barry Peterson and Blaise Enright.

The launch will take place during Culture Days—a nationwide celebration of arts and culture. Culture Days is the weekend of all weekends to get out into your com-munity and see the creative explosions happening all over neighbourhoods.
