ADJOURNMENT: / The meetin adjourned at 7t00 p.m. l THE CORPORATION OF THE CITY OF PORT COOUITLAM MEMORANDUM June 10, 1992 TO: Councillor Mike Thompson, Chair Parks & Recreation Commmittee FROM: K. Janna Taylor, Parks & Recreation Director SUBJECT: Parks 8 Recreation Department Update The Parks section has been extremely busy this spring. We have had such a mild winter and an extremely dry spring. The growing season has come earlyl This created somewhat of a problem with mowing - we have had a difficult time keeping up with all the grass areas. However, as of this date, we appear to be almost caught up with the mowing. The other Parks's function that keeps the crews very busy, this time of year, is weeding and keeping all the ornamental areas throughout the municipality in order. This is a particularly pretty time of the year, in our parks, with the flowers and children playing. Chelsea Park is near completion. Reeve Street Park will be well underway in the next few months. A separate report will be going to Mayor & Council on this park. PoCo Trail has had work done on it, over the past few months. Parksite No. 2, in the Genstar Development, is now complete and the wild flowers are quite nice in this park. The Parks crew have been working on the cul-de-sac in Clematis and it should be complete in a couple of weeks. The Westwood tennis courts will have the asphalt laid in approximately two weeks. The crew are also busy getting the bal! diamonds ready and have done some major work on Thompson Park. Minor Baseball apoears to be happy with the work that was done. The Sun Valley water park is now open and no doubt will be as popular as in past years. -2Hyde Creek Community Centre Rather than going into great detail as to all the programs at Hyde Creek, highlights will be given. One of the new things at Hyde Creek is SPLASHERI Splasher is the mascot of the Centre and is a dolphin. The dolphin will be painted on one of the walls, at the Centre, and also painted on the bottom of the teach pools. Splasher has been incorporated into lessons, pool information, etc. The concept has given the Centre an identity and the children really like it. We also have a "Feature of the Week" which offers a price reduction on one of the programs at the Centre, Spring break programs were very popular at the Centre. Public swim sessions were extremely successful; there were 1,200 participants in five days l Adult and Children's programs are quite popular i.e. basketball, floor hockey, Texas line dancing, etc. Several major events have been held at the centre i.e.: B.C. Underwater Hockey Provincial Championship Synchro B.C. Provincial Hosting Seminar Hosting Terry Fox Dry Grad B.C. Annual AA Conference Round Dancing competition at I-lyde Creek Wilson Cerrtre As aiways, this Centre is very active. Membership is over 1,000. There are so many special events and programs at this Centre, that it would be too long to list. Some of the events and courses are: Actively preparing for B.C. Senior Games to be held in Dawson Creek in August. Record breaking Income Tax Service this year. Daily service was provided througgbout February and April (15 volunteersl) Peer Counselling and Pals (People Assisting Local Seniors) programs are going strong. January started a Walking Group, which has now expanded to two different levels - strutters and strollers. (NEWI) JI)II & 5 i9I)2 -3Wilson Centre has its own Variety Entertainment Group that performs at The Monthly Membership Biifhday Parties. (NEWI) This winter a band started taking shape. We now have a banjo player, piano, trombone, drums and trumpet. They practice faithfully every Saturday. (NEWI) Daily Lunch Program averages 170 meals a week. Monthly specials (Easter, Mother'ay, Father's Day, etc.) sees about 60 meals served each time. Arena One of the areas that is always popular is skating. We find it difficult to find adequate time slots. The prime times that are required for these programs are booked by other groups i.e. minor hockey, figure skating etc. Some of the highlights of the skating lessons and public skating proorams include: Approximately 750 people participated in our recreational skating programs this winter Skating appears to be on an up swing again, as some sessions have reached attendance in the 300's Power Skate has become so popular that we are having trouble meeting the demand New this year and one of the first in the lower mainland, is our Rollerblade Program. It is doing really well and if the trend continues we will look at the feasibility of providing a blade rental service in the next couple of years Other programs are going well such as tennis, playschool and parent 6 tot drop-in programs. In the adult area we have been working with local businesses tc provide workshops at their point of business; to date we have worked with Glass Centre, Prairie Petro Can, Cypress Home 6 Recreation and Jaymers Fly & Tackle Shop. PoCo Recreation Centre Community users are still extensively usinq the Arenas and Mabbett Room. Some of the major events this season included the Bantam Tournament and the Ringette National Tournament. Also PoCo Figure Skating has provided funds to replace the fridge and stove in the Mabbett Room. Also, with funds provided by them, we will be upgrading the wiring in the Mabbett Room and Young Room. Arena "The Building" Projects have included the reroofing of arena ff2, reglazing the showers in the referee's room (unforh&nately the company has recommended this not be done in the larger shower areasI; and we are giving the building a cosmetic facelift (fresh paint, new coiours . Teens Always an extremely popular area for the Parks & Recreation department. Some of the program highlights include: Wednesday night "J.A.S." drop-in has averaged twenty-five 1 1 -1 4 year olds throughout the winter. Friday night "Party Machine" drop-in averages fifty 13-18 year olds and 2 Special Nights saw 100 teens each. Leadership Program has now expanded to 3 levels: Pre-Leadership Leadership 1 Leadership 2 (approximately 80 teens have been involved in Leadership) Now we have a "Teen Hotline'et up. Teens can call in and get the latest information on what's currently happening. To date, the Teen Committee has raised $ 5,000.00 towards their Mexico Trip. Two successful ski trips to Hemlock this winter. Hosted a very successful Spring Break "Day of Fun" that was enjoyed by approximately 650 children and 250 adults. General Office We presently have three full-time and one part-time office staff. The office is very busy with activities such as registra',ion, booking facilities, booking soccer, softball etc. The office also does all the typing for all program areas and newsletters. Typing for the following people is handled by the office: Janna, Larry, Bram, Darlene, Bev, Erin, Rolande, Chris, Lorraine, Alete & Paul. Also, the office handles all cash, accounting for program registration and facility booking and looking after supplies for the department. Presently on computer, we have a registration system (which we hope to change next year in order to provide statistical informatior„ facility booking, and Pagemaker (for brochures and flyers). Other software soon to be installed is Excel - which will assist us in keeping detailed information and help manipulate stats etc. We are, in fact, bursting at the seams. However, when the restructure is in place, and we move one clerical staff to each facility, some of the burden hopefully will be taken from the main office. ....5 Restructure The restructure is almost complete. We now have an agreement with the Union. A presentation will be made to Council on Monday, June 15, 1992. The creation of the Central Services Division still remains to be done. This will be proposed later this year, once the saving can be seen in the other areas. The whole process of restructure has been difficult for the department and staff morale. But, once it is in place and staff have had an opportunity to settle down in their new areas, business will improve and we will have a more efficient and accountable department. Hyde Creek Retrofit Vic Davies, Architect, has been retained as the Consultant to see this project through. The first meeting with Vic Davies, program coordinators and supervisory staff was held on June 10th. The purpose of the meeting was to brainstorm and begin to put concepts down on paper. The session was conducted as a workshop and was extremeiy successful. From this meeting, Vic will be drawing up a concept plan and we will meet again on June 26th at 3:00pm at Hyde Creek. At this meeting, it is proposed that the "Task Force Committee" also attend. The "Task Force Committee" is composed of Larry Wheeler, Councillor rhompson, Councillor Wright, Bryan Kirk and myself. This is going to be a very exciting project. KJT/pg c.c. - Councillor Michael Wright L sue f 5 1997.

MINISTER OF GOVERNMENT SERVICES I am seeking your assistance in helping to develop guidelines for a new capitai grants program for cammuruties throughout British Columbia. This year's provincial budget set aside half of all lottery proceeds f'r health care priorities. The reznaining half goes to generai government revenue. That means there is no longer a separate lottery fund and the GO BC program has been cancelled. Although the overall amount of money available has been reduced, we have created a new Carnntunffy Grants Program. Grants from this program will be capital in nature. That is, they will go to eligible community organizations to acquire ar improve assets such as buildings and equipment, not to cover operating costs or pravide services. This is an opportunity to advise your provindai government. Please take minutes to answer the following questions and tnail by June 15, 1992. to few a Branch, Ministry of Govenunent Services, 1117 Wharf Street, Grants Community Victoria, B.C. VSW 2Z2.

Thc Associatilon'6 purpose is to promoic healthy lifestyles through excegencc in parks, recreation and cultural services.

It is on behalf of our membership and thc various publica they serve that we arc submitting these conlments to your attention and request an opportunity to meet with you as weH as the Honourable Robin Blcncoe and thc Honourable IIlixabeth Cull to talk about what we believe is an extremciy serious issue. We appreciate tho opportunity to provide you with our views on the strucuire of the new Community Olrants Program. To begin, we must express our great concern at the government's apparent decision to r(5(luce the level oi'upport to the organixations and people who have worked so hard in partnership with government to build better„healthier communities in BC, We believe very strongly that the service provided by our members and thc volunteers with whoni they are associet(NI are vital to the weII-being of every residcrii of British Columbia, th«t they promote health and that they are deserving of at Ic(Lst the seine level of support as they have received in the past, We app(uciatc that the distribution of grant funding needs to be more equitable. In fact, niany of nur members have expressed concern about previous abuses and as a result. we are prepared to work cncrgeticaHy with your Ministry to develop an appropriate formula to deal with this issue. Wkh rcg«rd to the specific questions you have raised: I'rovincial support in the amount of onc-third of the total project cost is appropriate providing it includes the present day value of thc land on which a facHIty Is being constructed, At the present time land is only included in tbc formula if it is purchased after an appHcatlon is forwarded. Wc are also of the opinion that the provincial share should bc increased for collaborative efforts between municipalities or agencies who work together to meet community needs, This wiH encourage efficiency within the delivery system.
