Summer 2015 

ACCESSIBLE RECREATION FOR ALL 

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. 

4 

To ensure the safety 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 ever-changing 

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 

grisewoodc@portcoquitlam.ca. 

• 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 

• 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 

grisewoodc@portcoquitlam.ca or 604-927-7974. 

Port Coquitlam’s Parks and 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. Should you require assistance to participate, 

we admit your assistant or support person into our programs 

and drop in activites for free. Personal Assistant 

Subsidy applications are available from Customer Service.

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 Swimming Lessons 

only on the dates and time listed. Program fees no longer allow participants to use 

the facility before, or after their lesson. Parents/guardians are welcome to watch 

their children participate in their lesson; however, program fees do not include 

parental/guardian use of the facility before during or after their lesson. As space 

is limited in the pool area during swimming lesson times, all individuals wishing to 

use the leisure pool, and hot areas may do so for a fee of $2 per visit between the 

following hours: Mon-Fri 4-7pm;

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

The volunteer based Leisure Buddy program assist 

participants in registered recreation programs. When you register your child in a program, 

the Leisure Buddy form needs to be filled out and returned two weeks prior to the 

start of the class, to give sufficient time to find an available volunteer. The leisure buddy 

form can be found at any customer service desk or www.portcoquitlam.ca/access.

Judith Fairwood 

and Venus Sobranes 

Opening Reception: Aug 20, 7-9pm 

The exhibition mixes two colors of 

dream— one vibrant and the other calm. 

The act of dreaming transcends physical 

borders and materializes into painted 

dreamscapes. Out of unique views of the 

world, Judith Fairwood and Venus Soberanes 

juxtapose imaginary landscapes and 

personal experiences of perceived worlds 

and different states of consciousness. It is 

an exotic journey of a lucid dream where 

the viewers can be part of the portrayed 

landscapes and participate from the 

dreamed experience in a collective dream.
