Summer 2015
PRESIDENT’S MESSAGE
It is not more bigness that should be our
goal. We must attempt, rather, to bring
people back to... the warmth of community,
to the worth of individual effort and
responsibility... and of individuals working
together as a community, to better their
lives and their children’s future.
Robert F. Kennedy
O
n this warm and sunny Thursday morning, I am
checking and rechecking the Weather Network, hardly
believing that Mayfair Saturday looks... gasp! warm
and sunny. Joanne Pauli and James Barass, our incredibly
competent and experienced chairs of this 70th year tradition,
will hold their collective breath until the park is empty and the
last rides are hauled off but at this stage, it’s looking to be a
banner year!
But one thing is always certain: rain or shine, our very
special community comes out in droves to greet one another
and celebrate all that makes Mooredale such a unique part of
our lives. Mooredale is a place where we understand that our
children will be nurtured, a place where interests are shared
and explored, a place that demonstrates all the good that
happens when a community works tirelessly together. This
is showcased nowhere more perfectly than on the Mayfair
weekend. Thank you once again, Joanne, James and every one
of our countless volunteers, for keeping this tradition so alive
and well.
Mooredale depends entirely on this spirit of cooperation
to make all of its programs run smoothly year after year. I
am proud to be part of such a dedicated Board of Directors
who continue to believe in the power of a strong, vibrant
community. Our boundaries extend well beyond Rosedale
and Moore Park and our membership is a varied group of
individuals and families who remain important to our success.
The Mooredale Board and all of the staff are committed
to discovering new ways to enrich the lives of our diverse
membership, through initiatives that include a speakers’
series, leadership programs for our youth, new and innovative
programs and sports and more outreach activities.
What do you have to offer? Mooredale belongs to all of us
and if you have passions and interests to share, we’d love to
hear from you. Photography? Writing? Bridge? Fitness? A real
community shares its vast resources and we encourage you to
reach out and let us know how you might contribute.
As always, but particularly at this time of year, a huge shout
out goes to all of our volunteers for enthusiastically offering so
much time and energy to keep our programs alive. Enjoy all
that Mooredale has to offer; it really is a place like no other!
Best wishes for a happy, memorable summer.

Summer is just around the corner and
we need your help to keep our very
busy parking lot as safe as possible for
all our members.
• P
arking is allowed only for members who are active in
some Mooredale activity. (Please do not park here while
you go for a power walk, a run, or walk your dog!)
• A
lways drive slowly as you enter, exit and drive
through the lot.
• F ocus your attention on watching for young children, not
your cell phone call.
• P
lease drop off or pick up your child as quickly as
possible so you can free up the parking spot for the
next person. Hint: Our experience is that prolonged
goodbyes are hard on the child and the parent, so once
your child has been met by the camp or summer fun
staff, please say a quick farewell and leave the site. It
would help if you keep your chats with other parents
short, again so we can empty parking spots quickly for
other parents who are waiting to drop off or pick up
their child.
• D
o not block emergency exits, disabled parking
spots or the entrance to the parking lot – we must
keep the way clear for emergency vehicles to reach us if
necessary.
• B
ack into the parking spot every time – between the
lines! Everyone is in a hurry… and everyone is required
to back into the spot, without taking more than one
spot.
• A
ctively supervise your children as they cross the
parking lot – they are excited and can be distracted
easily and dart into the lot.
• S tay calm – Be nice! The Mooredale staff who are
directing traffic into the parking lot on weekday
mornings cannot move more cars in until earlier drivers
leave – honking horns and yelling at them will not make
the traffic move more quickly!
Of course, we thank the members who arrive on foot,
by wagon, bike, stroller, TTC, etc. If you are crossing
Crescent Road – Please use the Crosswalk. With your
help, everyone will be safe as they arrive and depart
their summer activity at Mooredale. Thank you for your
cooperation!

Thank you Mayfair volunteers
T
hank you to our hundreds of volunteers at Mayfair Under the
Sea. We are so lucky to have so many committed volunteers
in our community. Over 170 student volunteers animated
this year’s Mayfair. Students from Deer Park School, North Toronto
Collegiate, Branksome Hall, University of Toronto Schools, Havergal
College and many others ran our midway games, served lunch and
entertained the children. We are particularly grateful for the 25
volunteers from Royal St. George’s College and the 30 volunteers
from the Bishop Strachan School.
I would like to thank the Community Service Directors at all our
community schools and extend a particular thank you to Charlotte
Fleming at the Bishop Strachan School and Emma Totten at Royal
St. George’s College. The volunteer culture you instill in our young
people is inspiring to us all.
Mayfair could not be what it is without our incredible
Mooredale staff that lends their energy and enthusiasm to
make Mayfair such a special day. Thank you to the Mooredale
House leadership, the Mooredale Day Camp staff, the Mooredale
Preschool, the Mooredale Soccer Club and the Mooredale Pool
Club staff. Your leadership and dedication are an inspiration to all
of us. I would also like to recognize our Mayfair Committee and in
particular our Mayfair Committee Co-Chairs Joanne Pauli and James
Barrass. Joanne and James, on behalf of all Mooredale members,
thank you for another fabulous Mayfair and an amazing 30th year
volunteering at Mooredale!

Daycamp
Summer Is Coming
and We Will Be Ready!
P
reparations are now well under way for the 2015 camp
season. Trips are being planned to exciting places all over the
GTA. Equipment is being checked and re-ordered. Plans are
being planned, and staff members are being trained. There is still
much to do, but we will be ready and waiting when June 29 rolls
around!
Mooredale Day Camp has been a local tradition for families
since 1968, offering a wide range of traditional and specialty camp
programs. We offer Red Cross Swimming Lessons in our private pool,
Athletics, Arts & Crafts, Archery (Ages 6+), Music & Drama, GeoScience, Tennis Lessons (ages 6+) and Cooking classes. In addition
there are theme days, singing and skits, day trips to local venues,
and plenty of time for outdoor play.
If you have already registered for Camp, you will be receiving
our Parent and Camper Information Package by June 1. In this
package, you will find important information you need to start
planning and thinking about Camp. Here is the outline of our
schedule this summer:

(Limited space remaining)

we are offering a soccer camp specialty option. Participants will

the Mooredale Soccer Club. Campers will still take part in the meal
plan, as well as the morning recreational swimming time. (Please
note that participants will not take part in the morning swimming
lessons). For more information please visit the website or call the
office.
Meal Plans – Don’t worry about packing a nutritious lunch every
day because once again this summer, snacks and a hot lunch will be
provided daily by Real Food for Real Kids. A dietary information form
will be included with the parent package to notify us of any dietary
needs or restrictions.
Senior Camp – Added Specialties this Summer! Our Senior Camp
programs are for children 9 – 12 (14 for Tennis) years old. This year
we have added 4 new specialty options. In addition to Tennis
(Session 2 and 4) and Camping (Session 1 & 3), we now offer

9:30 am Fitness Classes in the Studio

efficient one hour full body workouts. Participants can take part
one day a week or multiple days per week.
Community Building Blocks
CHILDREN’S PROGRAMS
‘Connections within our neighbourhood are the building blocks of our
larger communities – our kids can stand on these blocks, learn the
values of the larger group, and benefit from its caring and concerned
residents. In neighbourhoods that are vibrant and healthy, people see,
hear, and feel their neighbours’ presence, their joys, and their sorrows;
they respond to the group and to the individuals within it – from the
toddlers to the seniors. To revitalize our neighbourhoods, we need to
emerge from the cocoons of our homes, spread our wings, knock on
our neighbours’ door and get to know them.’
Ballet, Acro and Jazz Dance
Ages 5 – 14 years
Acro combines modern, jazz and acrobatic movements. This
art form improves flexibility, strength, agility and control while
learning dance and gymnastic floor tricks. Jazz dance is a smooth,
modern Broadway style of dance where students learn moves that
coincide with the current pop music. Ballet classes follow the Royal
Academy of Dance syllabus. This ballet program will give each
and every student a goal to work towards and they will develop
mentally and physically with a strong ballet technique.
Eric Musselman
‘Sixty percent of American youth don’t know someone well enough in
their neighbourhood to ask for help if they need it.’
Excerpts from Stopping at Every Lemonade Stand by James Vollbracht.
“Mooredale has given me the opportunity to be connected to my
neighbourhood.” If you spend time with Mooredale members
and ask them what Mooredale means to them, most often you’ll
hear the words ‘connected’ and ‘community’. You will hear stories
about meeting neighbours and making friends while standing on
the sidelines watching house league soccer, taking part in fitness
classes, sitting pool-side during the summer, or while volunteering
alongside each other during the annual spectacle that is Mayfair.
For many, Mooredale has been, and continues to be, a place to
connect with and feel a part of the larger community.
What needs, what gaps can this community centre fill for you
and your family? How can we further become a connection hub for
you and this neighbourhood? This past year we started Mooredale
Talks, Lego, iPhoneography, High Intensity Interval Training, Video
Game Design and our hugely popular Pre-school lunch time
program because members came forward with suggestions. We
want continue to make this a place where friendship and a sense of
belonging in the neighbourhood can be nurtured. Drop in or send
us your suggestions for programming for all age groups – we want
to hear from you!
This fall season, Mooredale will be offering a wide range of
programs for our Members to enjoy. We have put together a lineup
of high quality programs for all ages, interests and skill levels. Here
is a preview of what you can expect this fall:
ADULTS
Mooredale Talks
Hosted by our Board President, Carrie Scace, Mooredale will
continue to host special events over the coming year featuring
guest speakers dealing with timely and relevant issues facing our
families. Stay tuned for event topics, dates and times.
Yoga for Children
Rainbow Kids Yoga certified instructor Giovanna Carini Danishwar
(RECE), will lead your child through various yoga poses using playful
mediums such as dramatic play, musical games, storytelling, art,
dance and more. Children’s communication skills, independence
and confidence will build as they learn about yogic elements such
as meditation, the breath, balance, body strength, health, mandalas
and of course yoga poses in a fun and interactive environment.
Monkeynastix
Monkeynastix is a broad-based, holistic program that combines
creativity, music and storytelling with basic training in flexibility,
balance, strength, agility, co-ordination and body awareness for
children ages one to eight.

Giraffes join Mooredale’s
Summer Fun?!
Y
es, it’s true, we have invited each and every one of them
(a.k.a. our youngest campers) to join us this summer to
explore and enjoy every corner of the Mooredale playground.
A myriad of experiences await… water play, sensory surprises,
crafts, music, cooperative games and swimming. Shade sails,
canopies and our new screened shelter (for bug free snacking) will
ensure that our campers enjoy the outdoors safely with just the
right amount of sun and shade. If it is raining or too hot or smoggy,
we just move the fun indoors to the cool comfort of the Coach
House.
Three options are available, morning, morning with lunch and
full day. And there’s more, lunches and snacks are provided by Real
Food for Real Kids www.rfrk.com
Our Summer Fun ‘counsellors’ are Registered Early Childhood
Educators who teach in our school year Preschool program.
All come with years of experience and are extremely creative,
nurturing and engaging.
For families with children who will be entering a preschool in
the fall, what better way to help with the transition than to begin
with a Summer Fun experience!
Summer 2015
Seamless Transitions Return in September! Our ‘Preschool +
Program’ introduced this past school year was a great success. This
exciting new option extended our Mooredale Preschoolers day to
include not only a rich and stimulating preschool class but also a
hot lunch catered by Real Food for Real Kids and an escort to or
from familiar Mooredale favourites such as Monkeynastix, French,
Sportball and Little Travellers… AND we are going to offer it again
beginning in September, introducing more new options from which
to choose!
Don’t forget Extended Care! For those days when a 9:00am
drop-off is too late or a 3:30pm pick-up is too early, we offer two
extended care options, mornings from 8:00 – 9:00 and afternoons
from 3:30 – 6:00. Both are available on an as needed or regular
basis. Please contact the preschool office for details.
After more than 17 years as a Mooredale Preschool Kindergarten
teacher, Patrizia Boynton will be leaving us at the end of June.
Patrizia is a passionate, highly creative and dedicated educator with
an energy and enthusiasm second to none. We will sincerely miss
you Patrizia but wish you only the very best in your exciting new
journey.
Merci! Rachel Busbridge, chair of our Preschool Parent
Committee, leaves us this month after 3 amazing years of
leadership. Always ready to take on the latest preschool initiative,
her passion and enthusiasm ensured remarkable success. Rachel,
we send you our most heartfelt thanks.
For the encouragement and effort put forth on our behalf,
we sincerely thank our Mooredale Preschool Parent Committee:
Kimberly Berman, Danya Cohen, Elizabeth Denham, Karin Dajani,
Katherine Hallisey, Josie Marciello, Natasha Nestor, Laura Palamara,
Rita Reeve, Jennifer Scace, Anuja Sharma, Christina Staikos, Serge
Vitale and a special thank you to Sonja and Gary Berman.
And to our preschool families who throughout the year support
us in so many ways… nous sommes des plus reconnaissants.
Mooredale Preschool… Brimming with opportunities that entice,
challenge and inspire, from Toddler to Kindergarten, we continue
to provide a solid foundation on which our children may grow and
flourish.
Waves of Excitement Under the Sea at Mayfair’s

Mayfair
Under the Sea
T
here hasn’t been such a hot, sunny Mayfair like this one
for decades! Our Friday Mayfair’s Eve Preview has become
an absolutely fantastic neighbourhood party with perfect
summer evening weather for everyone to enjoy on the rides and
particularly in the Beer Garden with those yummy Summerhill ribs.
With the whole fair operating on Saturday, it was a time to don the
shorts, spread on the sunscreen and enjoy a full day at the park...
Here are some of the images that stayed with me:
Kids jumping for glee as the parade enters the park and they
spy the giant Bouncies in the rink. Kids in garbage-bag gowns
getting their hair coloured in the Wacky Hair Salon and their
faces painted to match the watery theme at the Face-painting
booth. Determined kids competing in the races at Track and Field
encouraged along by Olympian athletes, kids screaming as they
dropped from the Cannonball, kids shopping delightedly at the
Prizes booth to select just the right one to spend all those hardearned prize coupons on!
12
For many of these children, Mayfair is the first big fair in their
lives. It’s a great tradition, and a lot of parents at the park also
remember their first visits to Mayfair! Each year, we make sure we
have a mix of rides for younger kids, in addition to the big thrill
rides. This year our Kiddie Zone in the skating rink offered the treat
of the Octopus’s Garden presented by the Mooredale Preschool
where the little ones decorated pots and planted a flower in them
as a Mother’s Day gift. Our Silent Auction had another successful
year, as did the Raffle organized by the Mooredale Preschool
parents.
For the somewhat older kids, Mayfair is a chance to let loose in
the safety of their local park. For them, it’s all about the big rides,
the Midway Games and the super prizes they can win, the fries and
caramel corn, the slushies… out with their friends for a full day’s
excitement.
We spotted a lot of grandparents joining in the festivities this
year and people of all ages enjoying lunch in the Beer Garden to
the great sound of our new local band, Governor Douglas.
For all our parents with kids, there was lots to look at and do
- Bingo playing on the field, no shortage of food and drink, little
ones to accompany on the classic Merry-Go-Round and the Giant
Slide or if the kids were old enough to run around on their own,
parents could just let it all flow while they caught up with friends
and neighbours. Lots of parents find that volunteering to sell tickets,
running a midway game for the kids, or flipping burgers at the BBQ

Summer 2015
Each year, Mayfair has two purposes: it’s a fundraiser for
Mooredale, and also a neighbourhood fair that strengthens our
community. Mayfair 2015 was more successful than ever on
both counts. Mayfair wouldn’t be possible without an army of
volunteers. There were scores of students, many of them earning
their community service hours. We also had hundreds of adult
volunteers, and I’m truly delighted that so many of them are loyal
Mayfair “lifers!”
This year we celebrated the 70th annual Mayfair in Rosedale
Park. If you would like to be part of the team for Mayfair 2016,
please call Mooredale at 416-922-3714, ext 310, or email
volunteer@mooredale.on.ca. We’d love to have you join us!
Thank you for many years’ work on Mayfair... to Laurie Stein
for her charming Mayfair-themed drawings, and to Karin Lawton for
her fabulous photos.”
Mayfair Committee 2015
lets them do their bit for Mayfair and puts them a location where
their children can easily find them to check in. Brilliant!
Those two large open tents in the beer garden were back
again, this year providing a lovely shaded area to take a break,
enjoy a Steam Whistle Beer or try out some Union Wines offerings
while listening to the band on Saturday. This year we added a free
giant foosball table in one of the tent, to the delight of many!
I particularly want to thank our BBQ grill volunteers, our ticket
sellers and our treasury staff, who worked extra hours to make our
Friday night happen. Many of these same volunteers were back
early the next morning, for their regular shifts. I would also like to
thank our dedicated set-up and takedown team, led by Bill Deacon
and helped by our Mooredale lifeguards and day camp staff. All of
you did an amazing job!

Mooredale Soccer
Softball
“Ole, Ole, Ole”
“Batter up”
The 2015 House League Soccer Season started
right after Mayfair this year with practices from
May 11 to May 22 and the first matches of the
Mooredale Champions League starting May
23/24 at Rosedale and Riverdale Parks. This year we have added
a Men’s Recreational Division (to go along with our all Women’s
Division), as well as an U21 Men’s Competitive Team and a Men’s
Team that compete in the Ontario Soccer League. We now have
programs from Under 4 to Men and Women at all levels!
This season couldn’t have kicked off so successfully without
all of our volunteers, so thank you so much for answering the call,
your energy is the very lifeblood of this organization. Mooredale
Soccer is forever grateful for your unwavering support and
commitment to our program.
To all the players, you are getting better every practice and
every game so keep up the great work.
Look out for our Summer Soccer Day Programs at Rosedale
Park, in July and August, we are offering week-long and multiweek sessions all summer long. Our Jr. RDP Program is running for
Ages 6/7 at Rosedale Park, Friday Evenings, for the players that are
looking to possibly go into competitive soccer at the U8 division.
Soctoberfest – our Adult Soccer Tournament returns for its third
year. We hope to have more and more of our Mooredale Members
join this great event!
Rosedale Park was the home to Mooredale
Softball League. Three nights a week the
umpires can be heard calling “batter up” as
batter after batter stride to the plate to take
their swings – get that base hit, or get ‘robbed’ by the highlight reel
catch at second base. You don’t want to turn away, as you might
miss the diving catch, the triple over the head of the outfielder, or
that strike out. It really is non-stop entertainment.
This year we partnered with Leaside Baseball, to provide
free clinics for our players and will be looking to develop that
relationship even more going forward.
The season is half over, but the best is still to come, the players
are preparing for Cup Day’s during the week of June 15.
A big thank you to all the parents, coaches, and volunteers
that have stepped to the front and assisted in the operation of this
league – we couldn’t have done it without you, and the athletes of
Rosedale and Moore Park thank you for everything you have done
for them.
Need 2 Know
l T he last spring session soccer game is June 20/21 – and we
look forward to seeing you the week of September 2 for
practice, and on the last weekend of September for Cup Day!
l
C up Day for Softball is June 15 to 17. Come to the Park and
watch the final out made of another great season.

Lacrosse
Mooredale Athletics has now brought Lacrosse to the masses. This
year we are hosting a recreational box Lacrosse league with the
help of the University of Toronto staff. After our wildly successful
indoor Lacrosse Program, we felt we are able to progress with a
league. We are looking to form a competitive Lacrosse club this
year, so if you are interested in coming to be a part of that, please
let us know.
Flag Football
“Mooredale + Football + Rain/
Sun/Mud = More Fun”
FOOTBALL
Training Camp is opening soon for the CFL and

MOOREDALE – it is back for another exciting year. Last year
was our biggest yet and we are planning lots
of exciting things this year. We have partnered with a local Flag
MooredaleNews
Football Camp to provide a late Spring Training Camp and also a
Pre-Season Camp in September.
We are planning on adding an Adult Flag Football Tournament
day like we do for Soctoberfest.
Registrations begin for our Football League on June 15th.
Mooredale Basketball
“The Best is Yet to Come”
Basketball is returning in October 2015. Working

program has increased its technical offerings.
Running from October to the first week of
March– hoops will run on one week-night a
week. It is a fantastic opportunity to learn the fundamentals of
basketball, taught by a certified basketball instructor.
We will also be running our Women’s Basketball division this
fall and winter, so look out for registrations!
Registrations begin June 15.

A
its 27th Season
September 27, 2015 – April 17, 2016
n extraordinary season of Canadian and international
talents from Germany, England, and Denmark. We begin

legends on violins. A rare and exquisite vocal quintet grace
our stage singing carols from around the world. Two acclaimed
string quartets perform Haydn, Beethoven, Mendelssohn and are
joined by a clarinet and a bass. If that’s not enough, there’s an
eleven player ensemble who will dazzle us with piano chamber
works.
Artistic director Adrian Fung has announced the lineup, saying,
“Our audience loves classical music, and is accustomed to hearing
it performed by world-class artists. They also enjoy fabulous
musicians they may never before have heard of, and the best of our
home-grown talent. We are giving our audiences what they crave
and enjoy, at a very affordable price.”
This season’s six concerts can be enjoyed on subscription
for only $140; seniors $130; and for patrons under 30, only $90.
Subscribers are not only assured of their seats, but also save up to
47% over single ticket purchases.
Subscribers receive two additional bonuses: complimentary
tickets to the three concerts by the Mooredale Youth Orchestras
at nearby Laidlaw Hall, UCC, showcasing a future generation
of orchestral musicians, and orders will not be processed until
September 1, allowing people to keep their money until tickets are
ready for mailing.
All 2015-16 concerts conveniently take place at Walter Hall
“one of Toronto’s original fine, small recital halls...” in the Edward

Variations
Toronto-born internationally known pianist opens the Mooredale
Concerts season with two piano blockbusters by revered composers
of the baroque and classical periods – J.S. Bach’s Goldberg Variations
and Beethoven’s Diabelli Variations.
Stewart Goodyear
November 1 – Vivacious Violins – Nikki and Timothy Chooi
Victoria BC sensations and brothers (ages 26, 21) are well into
international solo careers. They play on $10 Million worth of violins
on loan from the Canada Council Musical Instrument Bank. Works
performed by Saint-Saëns, Schumann, and Prokofiev.
Their Canadian debut features a special holiday program, Christmas
Carols of the World. A mix of sacred and secular, even humorous,
a cappella selections from the Renaissance to the present day, this
concert will charm and dazzle audience members, especially as
they sing their way on stage carrying electric candles.
MooredaleNews
January 17, 2016 – London Haydn Quartet with
Eric Hoeprich, clarinet
Considered by many to be the “Quartet’s quartet” their Toronto
debut features works by Mozart, Beethoven and Haydn, of course!
“Gut strings sometimes mean sour intonation, but not with this
superb British group... they explore... repertoire with a light touch
and kaleidoscopic colours...crammed with subtle pleasures.”
Summer 2015
MOOREDALE YOUTH ORCHESTRAS
Training serious young musicians from
September to June
The youth orchestras were given their start in 1988 by the Rosedale
CD Review, The Times
March 13 – Ensemble MidtVest from Denmark – Canadian
debut
Comprising a string quartet, a wind quintet and a pianist, the
ensemble is renowned for creative programming. These 11 players
including Canadian violist David Samuel will enthrall us with piano
chamber works by Schubert, Brahms and Denmark’s Carl Nielsen.
Clare Carberry rehearses the Intermediate Orchestra
Afiara String Quartet
April 17 – Afiara String Quartet with Joel Quarrington, bass
Two internationally renowned Canadian music forces unite to
perform Mendelssohn’s String Quartet No. 2 in A minor, Op. 13 and
Dvorak’s String Quintet No. 2 in G Major, Op. 77. Juno winner Joel is
currently principal bass with the London Symphony Orchestra. The
Afiara’s are a Mooredale audience favourite. This will be their first
performance since their founder and cellist, Adrian Fung became
our artistic director.
– Moore Park Association thanks to its visionary founder, the late
cellist Kristine Bogyo, who inspired so many young people to not
only take up classical music, but also make careers and lifetime
pursuits. Her dream was supported by Marjorie Booth, executive
director at RMPA, a music lover and believer in the educational
power and benefits of music programming. That mutual legacy
continues as we now receive calls from parents who were young
players, wishing to enrol their children in this venerable and very
unique Toronto-based institution.
What makes the Mooredale orchestras so enduring is the
expert knowledge, ongoing dedication, and welcoming positive
energy of our conductors. In June, we are bidding farewell to
our Intermediate conductor, Ms. Clare Carberry after 25 years of
devotion, single-minded commitment, and enthusiasm in the
service of her young string players. Clare will be sorely missed as a
regular fixture in our youth orchestra family, but she has promised
to stay in touch and guest rehearse when the occasion arises. We
are extremely grateful for Clare’s wisdom and leadership, both on
and off the podium, and the tremendous influence she has had as
a teacher, mentor, and best friend. Go raibh maith agat “May you
have goodness” in Gaelic.

In September, we welcome Ms. Yvanna Mycyk as the new
conductor for our Junior orchestra, ages 6-12 years in RCM/Suzuki
levels 2-4. She is a familiar face to many of our players as she has
conducted some of our rehearsals over the past two seasons.
Yvanna is a musician and devoted educator specializing
in leading young string ensembles. She works with the Junior
orchestra at the Sistema Toronto Academy where she also teaches
violin and viola, and teaches individual and group lessons at
Branksome Hall. She has also taught
strings class and string orchestra at
Havergal College.
Yvanna completed her undergraduate
degree in Violin Performance at Boston
University, studying with Yuri Mazurkevich
and Gwen Thompson and studying violin
pedagogy with Bonnie Black. She recently
graduated from the Ontario Institute
for Studies in Education (OISE) at the
University of Toronto with a specialization
Yvanna Mycyk
is music education.
Belonging to one or more orchestras
has been a constant in Yvanna’s life since the age of 11. She
has formally studied tango violin and informally developed as a
jazz and improvising musician through collaboration with other
musicians including Toronto’s Junction Trio. In addition to music and
education, Yvanna also studied law and worked for three years in a
civil litigation firm.
Dr. William Rowson, known to us as Bill, will become the new
conductor of the Intermediate orchestra, and will continue as the
Senior orchestra leader and conductor. Born in Saskatchewan,
he is a graduate of the prestigious Curtis Institute having studied
composition with prominent American composer Ned Rorem.
Known for his intimate knowledge of the standard repertoire and
his facile handling of the challenges of new repertoire, Bill has
conducted the premieres of over 60 new works since 2001.
Bill was appointed Principal Conductor of the Stratford
Symphony Orchestra (April 2015), in addition to his recent
appointment as Music Director of Toronto’s Sneak Peek Orchestra.
He is also the Resident Conductor of
the Hamilton Philharmonic Orchestra’s
What Next Festival. A frequent guest of
ensembles across Canada, he recently
conducted the Saskatoon Symphony,
Orchestra Toronto, Greater Toronto
Philharmonic and the Kitchener-Waterloo
Chamber Orchestra.
An accomplished composer, his works
have been featured at the Ottawa
International Chamber Music Festival,
William Rowson
UBS Verbier Festival, the Banff Centre’s
Summer Music Series, Niagara on the Lake International Chamber
Music Festival, and the Brott Music Festival. In 2014 his Cello
Sonata was recorded by the Mercer Park Duo for Naxos Canada and
released internationally.
As a violinist, Bill has played under some of the greatest
conductors of our time, including Sir Andrew Davis, Charles Dutoit,
James Levine, Kent Nagano, and Sir Simon Rattle.

On behalf of the SWIMMING POOL CLUB EXECUTIVE
Forget The Solstice!
For Me Summer
Begins The Day Our
Pool Opens!
My 2015 summer began Saturday May 16 and I try
to swim every chance I get.
E
arly morning dips to those magic evenings at the end of a
day; Aquafit classes to great (group, semi-private or private)
swim lessons; Lane swimming to just splashing with your
family… does it get better than our Mooredale Pool? A great way
to have even more fun is to try something different in the pool this
year. If you always come in the morning why don’t you drop by
some evening? If you always swim alone bring a few friends and
join the group. Always wondered about Aquafit? Sign up today!
And for those of you who have never jumped off the diving board...
what are you waiting for?
One thing we all have to keep in mind every time we visit
the pool is that swimming at our Mooredale pool is a shared
experience for us all to enjoy. Please remind your family and your
guests that out Mooredale lifeguards are there for everyone’s
safety. If a lifeguard asks us to do something we all must follow
that order immediately and without question. If you don’t
understand a rule or a guard’s request by all means discuss the
situation with the Pool Manager (or senior staff on duty) after you
comply.
As you swim I hope you notice and enjoy the wonderful flower
boxes and flower pots around the deck. Special thanks to that
amazing pair of Mooredale Pool volunteers – Brenda Reid and Mary
Maude – who create the wonderful floral displays around the pool.
And we all look forward to seeing you at the Mooredale
Olympics – August 24th. The Olympics are our annual afternoon of
fun and excitement with challenging events and swim races for
adults and kids of all ages. Prizes, ribbons, snacks! Sign up sheets
are in the Breezeway.
Keep wet, keep cool, keep swimming!
See you in the pool!
