LEISURE GUIDE 

REGISTRATION BEGINS Saturday, August 10th 604.927.PLAY (7529) or

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 commemorate 

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. 

MAYOR’S UPDATE Fall 2013 

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 community 

– 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!

Put your waste in the right place! 

Are you and your family putting lunch 

leftovers and other food scraps in the 

right place? 

Whether you’re at home, school or 

in the community, it’s easy to do 

your part to keep as much out of 

the land fill at possible. 

Waste-sorting bins with slots 

for food scraps, recyclables and 

garbage are installed throughout 

the community, and local students 

can also sort their food scraps and 

recyclables at school. 

At home, residents are encouraged to put all food 

scraps and food-soiled papers into their green cart and recyclables into 

their blue cart. The goal is to divert at least 70% of household waste away 

from the land ll. We’re currently diverting about 63%. 

Go to www.portcoquitlam.ca/wasteloss to learn how you and your 

family can watch your waste-line!

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. 

MAXIMuM nuMBER OF REGISTRATIOnS: 

Program participants can only be registered for 1 swimming lesson set at a time. 

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. 

PROGRAM FEES: 

Program fees cover access to Hyde Creek for participation in the program only on 

the dates and time listed. Parents/guardians are welcome to watch their children 

participate in a program; however, program fees do not include parental/guardian 

use of the facility before during or after their program. Individuals wishing to use 

Hyde Creek after their program may do so for 30 minutes before OR 30 minutes 

after their lesson.

TIDAL WAvE 

AQuATICS 

Tidal Wave Aquatics 

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 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. 

For more information about Tidal Wave Aquatics or to book an initial 

assessment visit, contact Kidsfirst Physio at 604-463-7537 or email to 

info@kidsfirstphysio.ca.

Parks & Trails 


rAILSIDE SkATE PArk 

The 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 

during peak times to provide first aid and guidance to participants. The use of helmets and safety equipment 

in strongly recommended whenever you are using the facility. 

DOG OFF-LEASH PArk 

In order to ensure the 

safety of you and your pet, when visiting the dog park: 

• Please avoid bringing toys and food to the off-leash area; 

• Please pick up after your dog and fill in any holes your dog digs 

to ensure a clean and safe play area; 

• A valid dog license and current vaccination for your dog is 

required. 

Current Dog Off-Leash Parks are located at: 

3345 Shaughnessy Street 

2501 Maple Street 

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 aggressive. 

Pet owners must be onsite for the duration and must 

have a leash immediately available.

depending on the group dynamics. The birthday

arts & crafts, and short choreography music and 

dance routines. Children will not be participating in 

a full production/play as the time frame is too short.

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 publishing 

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 nationally 

and internationally each year. The 

76 

Community Art exhibits At Leigh Square 

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

CAnADIAn SOCIETY OF PAInTERS In WATERCOLOR, BC REGIOn 

Opening reception: Saturday, Oct 26, 2-4pm with a free talk by david McEown. 

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 perhaps 

to the cave paintings of paleolithic Europe and better known for manuscript illumination 

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.

An ARTISTS’ vIEW OF PORT COQuITLAM 

– BY MICHAEL KInG, DEnISE MAXWELL AnD CATHERInE DuMAInE 

Opening Reception: Saturday, nov 30 2-4pm 

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 everything 

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. 


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 community 

and see the creative explosions 

happening all over neighbourhoods.

SAnDOn PRESEnTATIOn BY

Miners, tin horn gamblers, madams and 

newspaper men all in the first BC city to be 

fully electrified! She shone so very brightly, 

tucked tightly in the “valley of ghosts” 

between New Denver and Kaslo. Let’s 

travel back in time as historian John Mitchell 

shares the story of Sandon through

fine! Registration appreciated.
