Mayor’s Message

Ward 1 — Councillor Ken Ferdinands

[email protected]
The nice weather will soon be here along with a full
line up of events and activities for all ages. Here are
some unmissable events and activities in spring and
summer in Whichurch- Stouffville: Community
Spaghetti dinners beginning in February, Community
Garage Sale in May and Ribfest in August.
Ward 2 — Councillor Maurice Smith

Our community leisure guide has always been an
excellent tool designed to help residents plan family
functions and extra-curricular activities, and
communicate to residents and business owners what
is happening throughout the community. Whether it
is for personal interest, to build new skills, to make
new social connections, our leisure and community
programs have you covered!
One of the new and exciting things to look for this
year is the planning of Sunnyridge Park and Hillmont
Park. We invite our residents to join us to discuss
plans for these community parks on February 18 at
7:00 p.m. at 6240 Main Street.
I am proud of Whitchurch-Stouffville, and the work
Town staff have provided to make us such a unique
community. Please get out, get involved, and take
advantage of everything our community has to offer.
Sincerely,
Justin Altmann
Mayor

SUMMER 2015
Hire a person who has an intellectual disability
“Hiring people with an intellectual disability makes good business sense.
Our own experience and the results of numerous studies have taught us that
employees with a disability are often more productive, dependable and loyal
than their non-disabled co-workers.”

The ON GUARD card is designed to help ensure that parents and caregivers are especially
vigilant while supervising young children and non-swimmers in or around water.
The plastic card is worn on a lanyard around the neck and provides very speciﬁc tips to
help parents and caregivers understand their role and supervise as effectively as possible.
Those who wear the card are responsible for committing 100% of their attention to their
role as supervisor and for ﬁnding another adult to relieve them if they need to turn their
attention away for any reason.
The card includes the pledge: "People ON GUARD pledge to maintain constant and vigilant
supervision until relieved of duty".

TENNIS - See Child or Adult Section
“YOU ARE ENOUGH” SEMINAR (12-17 YEARS)
Empowering Girls to Recognize Their Own Uniqueness, Beauty and
Conﬁdence. From a young age, girls are socialized to believe that ﬁrst
and foremost their worth is measured by their beauty. By the time a girl
reaches the age of 17, she will have been exposed to over 250,000
commercial messages and a myriad of other negative messaging that
plays heavily on her self-esteem. In this workshop, learn how media
messaging may be limiting to your personal “girl” power. Learn how to
celebrate your own uniqueness and see your own beauty and know that
“you are enough” just the way you are. “You Are Enough” is a
conscious-raising movement that is making a signiﬁcant impact on
beauty stereotypes and offers girls and women an alternative deﬁnition
of beauty that is strong, healthy, and conﬁdent.
YOUTH FITNESS & SPA (13+ YEARS)
This program is designed for youth who would like to increase their
physical activity, but without the competition of sport. Qualiﬁed ﬁtness
staff will get you started and you work at your own pace independently.
Individual goals are encouraged and all activity is safe and fun. This
program can be used to replace the Youth Fitness Orientation as a
prerequisite to membership in the ﬁtness centre. Regular physical
activity increases energy, motivation and decreases stress – a perfect
start to an active healthy lifestyle. Following a self-paced workout in the
ﬁtness area you can enjoy a recreational swim in the pool. Time just for
you to distress and start the week fresh.
YOUTH YOGA (12-15 YEARS)
Designed speciﬁcally for youth. Learn focus, relaxation, breathing and
stretch techniques in a relaxed, stress-free FUN environment. No
experience is necessary – you don’t have to be super ﬂexible or ﬁt.
All can beneﬁt.

BEAUTY & THE BEAST SEMINAR (18+ YEARS)
Join us for a powerful and engaging two hour visual presentation
that gives parents or mentors strategies to help armour girls with a
positive body image and a healthy sense of self-worth.
Young girls are relentlessly being exposed to images of women
that represent an unnatural standard of beauty that is airbrushed
and altered to perfection. The images and messages in our culture
that glamorize thinness and glorify the “bikini-ready body” create
an impossible ideal for girls, and in turn fuel low self-esteem as
well as unhealthy and sometimes dangerous behaviors to achieve
this ideal. In this seminar, we will discuss how we can cultivate
self-conﬁdence in girls and teach them how to tap into their
personal power when this “beast” of a movement is slowly eroding
their self-esteem and causing them to feel like they don’t measure
up? Note: A second workshop geared to the girls will run the week
after. See youth section.

Lane Swim Etiquette
In order to ensure all swimmers have a safe and
enjoyable swim, please follow these rules below:
• To maintain a good ﬂow in each lane, please
make sure you are in the appropriate lane
according to how fast you swim, not how
many swimmers are in the lane.
• Follow the direction listed on the signs. These
signs are stationed by the deep end of the pool.
• To avoid collision with other swimmers, please
leave enough space between the swimmer in
front of you and yourself. If you must pass the
swimmer, please proceed with caution. Watch
for oncoming swimmers.
• When the swim is busy, avoid doing back
crawl and butterﬂy to avoid physical contact
with other swimmers.
• If you are performing ﬂip turns, please push off
with caution. Be aware of what is going on
around you.
• Be attentive to the lifeguard’s alerts and
instructions. If you hear a whistle,
immediately stop swimming and listen to the
lifeguard’s announcement.

Spend quality time with your child while you both have fun, learn and

keeping your child safe in any aquatic setting. Certiﬁed instructors
provide guidance and answers to your questions. Because activities and
progressions are based on child development, you register in the level
appropriate for your child’s age: 4-12 months, 12-24 months, or 2-3
years.

PARENT’S DAY
Parent’s Day allows you the opportunity to participate in your child’s
class or simply watch your child’s class from the pool deck.
It will always take place on the 8th class and it’s a great
opportunity to get involved in your child’s learning.
During the last 5-10 minutes of the class, your child’s instructor will
be available to let you know how your child is progressing and also
give you some recommendations on what class you should register
your child in for next session.
Please take a moment to speak to the instructor so that you
know what level to enroll your child in for the next session.
If you are unable to attend Parent’s Day, please take a moment to
speak to your child’s instructor the class before Parent’s Day.

What to expect from lessons
Swimming requires a lot of practice and positive feedback. The Swim Program allows students to progress comfortably at
their own rate. We encourage you to talk about lessons with your child. Make sure you have realistic expectations and your
child feels no pressure to “pass” a level or get a sticker/badge, but rather focus on “completing” the skills at their own rate.
Try to look at swimming lessons as a long-term progression.

The use of electronic devices, cell phones and smart phones is not

All residents should have the right to access leisure services. If you
cannot afford the program fees, you may qualify for one of the following
fee assistance programs: Town of Whitchurch-Stouffville Join IN! ;
Region of York fee assistance program, Jump Start - Canadian Tire

FORMS
Forms for registration, fee assistance, program cancellation and creating

www.townofws.ca/registration
HOW TO WATCH A GOOD PROGRAM DIE
It is necessary to register well in advance and not the day the program
starts. Courses will be cancelled at least one week before the start date
if registration numbers don’t meet the minimum requirements to run the
course.
LOST AND FOUND
We recommend that participants not bring expensive or valuable items
to programs. Participants are responsible for their articles. Should you
need to bring valuables to the Leisure Centre, coin lockers are available
for $.25. Please lock your locker. The Town of Whitchurch-Stouffville
employees and volunteers are not responsible for lost or stolen items.
At the Leisure Centre, all found items are logged at reception and cleared
out monthly. Please enquire about lost items at 905-642-PLAY (7529).
MEDICAL CONDITIONS
Individuals with a serious medical condition are at greater risk and when
possible, should be accompanied by another person who is familiar with
the condition and treatment of the condition. If that is not possible,
instructors should be made aware of any medical condition or
medication which a participant may be required to take during the
program.
PAYMENTS
Payments can be made on the internet by VISA and MasterCard only, in
person by Interac, VISA, MasterCard, cash or cheque and by mail with
VISA, MasterCard or cheque. When paying by mail, if you are registering
for multiple classes and one of your classes is full, the remaining amount
will be credited to your account.
www.townofws.ca
THINGS YOU SHOULD KNOW
Other helpful payment tips:
• You can use a credit on account when registering online.
• Don’t have a credit card and want to register online? You can put the
appropriate amount of funds on your account in person prior to
registration
• If you have an outstanding balance on your account, you will NOT be
able to register online unless you clear up the outstanding balance at
the same time.
No refunds will be granted:
• after a membership expires
• after week 3 of a program unless a medical note is presented.
• For sessions not attended due to illness, weather, emergency or
closures due to maintenance. If more than one class gets cancelled
due to emergency or maintenance, where possible, make up classes
or refunds will apply.
PAYMENTS: ONLINE PAYMENT ALERT
When registering online, by random selection, the system may take you
to the “CREDIT CARD ADDED SECURITY” screen. This added security
is put in by the credit card companies and must be done in order for
someone to register using that card. When the screen comes up “credit
card added security” it will ask for the veriﬁcation code:
• If you know it then enter it
• This is NOT the numbers on the back of the card
•If you do not know it, press “forgot my veriﬁcation code” and it will
take you to another screen to set up a new code
• Fill in the information requested and write down the code
•If you have tried the wrong veriﬁcation code 3 times, it will lock you
out and you need to call the credit card company to unlock it.
PHOTOGRAPHING/ VIDEOTAPING
Due to the sensitivity involved with photographing or taping children, the
use of cameras and video recorders during programs must by arranged
in advance with the staff.
PROGRAM CONFIRMATION
When registering in person, conﬁrmations will be given to you to
complete the transaction. When registering on line, you can print your
conﬁrmation at the time of the transaction or return any time for up to 1
year to print the conﬁrmation. Registrations that are received via mail or
in person, will be issued a conﬁrmation as soon as the registration is
processed.
PROGRAM / SCHEDULE CHANGES AND CANCELLED CLASSES
Find out about Program/Schedule changes by going to
www.townofws.ca/leisureguide. The online eGuide will be updated as
required. Updates will also be posted on the Town page in the Whats on
in Whitchurch Stouffville (WOWS ) section. Programs or services which
are cancelled due to unforeseen circumstances, will be posted on the
town home page, www.townofws.ca and when possible participants will
be phoned or emailed. Or you can call 905-642-PLAY (7529)
REFUND POLICY
If you withdraw from a program or cancel your membership, you will
receive a refund based on the program fee minus a $10 withdrawal per
person, per program and a $10 cheque issuance fee. The cheque
issuance fee will not apply if refund amount is left as credit on customer
account. Credits must be used within one year.
All refunds will be prorated from the time the refund request is received
IN WRITING, which can be done by fax, mail, email or in person. If your
program gets cancelled, you will receive a FULL refund.
Cancellation Forms are now available on our website under the
registration link.
REFUND POLICY ADVANCED AQUATIC COURSES
In order to receive a refund, cancellation requests for aquatic leadership
courses must be received in writing at least ﬁve (5) business days prior
to the start of the ﬁrst class. The reason is that customers cannot
register for these courses once the classes have begun and therefore
the waitlist cannot be used to ﬁll the vacancy. Also, because 100%
mandatory attendance is required for these courses, it is not possible to
enroll interested participants after the ﬁrst class.
RETURNED CHEQUES
We know that mistakes sometimes happen but it is necessary to
administer a charge for returned NSF cheques. If payment cannot be
made, we reserve the right to cancel the registration or to revoke
privileges until full payment is received by cash or credit card.
STAFF TRAINING
All staff receive training on code of conduct, accessibility, programming,
Health and Safety, recognition of child abuse, policies and procedures,
and leadership. Many of our staff have worked for the Town of
Whitchurch-Stouffville for a number of years and are pursuing careers in
recreation, social work and education. All staff maintain a current 1st aid
and CPR Standard C and Leisure Centre staff also maintain Deﬁbrillation
certiﬁcation
TRANSFERS
Transfers are accepted if space is available. Transfer requests will be
accepted up until the 3rd week of the program. The ﬁrst request is free
but all requests after that will have a $10.00 charge.
WAITLISTS
Should your choice be full, you will be prompted to add your name to the
waitlist. You may waitlist for as many program times as you would like
but you must choose to either stay on a waitlist OR register for the same
program at a different time – NOT BOTH. Once registered in a class, you
will be removed from all waitlists for the same program.
We make every effort to accommodate our waitlists. They do change
constantly due to transfers, cancellations and the addition of new
classes. Should a spot become available, you will be contacted by our
Customer Service staff. If a message is left for you on an answering
machine you will be given 48 hours to contact us to conﬁrm you want
that spot. If we do not hear from you within 48 hours, we will contact the
next person on the waitlist.
