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. C 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 everchanging 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 popovec@portcoquitlam.ca. 2 !!! • Staff require 2 weeks’ notice to find an appropriate volunteer • 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 • Our Leisure Buddies do not provide personal care, such as assistance with toileting etc. • It is up to staff discretion whether or not a participant can attend a program without support. For more information on program support or Leisure Buddies, please contact Cierra Popove, at popovec@portcoquitlam.ca or 604-927-7974. Port Coquitlam’s 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 registration or membership per person per quarter. The Parks and Recreation Department welcomes patrons of all abilities.

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 enrollment. 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. Alternatively, you may choose to retake the level for the fourth time at 50% the regular cost of the program. We also offer other programs that may be more suited to the needs of the child, including Performance Enhancers, Front Crawl Workshop and Whip Kick Workshop. Cancelled Classes: A minimum of 48 hours before a class starts, lessons may be cancelled where there is insufficient registration.

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. There is an administration fee of $5 for each individual activity withdrawal. Waitlists: If the class you want is full, get on the waitlist! Classes with waitlists may replace any classes that have been cancelled.

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 program is developed and maintained by Brenda, yet presented with the unsurpassable 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 appropriate physiotherapy plan prior to approval for the program.

Raw, rugged and powerful - these abstract oil on canvas paintings capture the spirit of our West Coast environment. Druh Ireland creates paintings based on color temperature: neutral, warm, and cool - drawing inspiration from the gritty inner city as well as the surrounding wilderness of the natural world. Her paintings are mostly large “statement” pieces which speak to viewers on a visceral and emotional level.

June 2 - July 11, 2016 BILL EDMONDS Opening Reception: Thu, Jun 2nd, 7-9pm The work of Bill Edmonds questions anonymity and the release of personal information. Initially while creating the work, random individuals who had indicated a common interest in art were contacted via social media, and then asked to send their image with the intent that Bill would paint them. Time saw him become increasingly suspicious that the photo had been sent by a Catfish. Bill employs a combination of media and techniques, making quick sketch style renderings by applying common house paint to Plexiglas. 604.927.SWIM • 604.927.8400 • 604.927.7970 67 ARTS & CULTURE This self-directed drop in group is dedicated to socializing local writers, discussing projects and sharing feedback on written work including scripts, poetry, novels, short stories, comics, and lyrics.
