It has been a busy summer
and the Department has seen
some improvements in our
facilities/parks. A few of the
highlights are:
1. French Fort Cove had
the new washrooms open in
July along with the longest
Zip Line in Atlantic Canada.
Further work will continue
this fall with a new dock
going in for the boat rentals,
work on the bridge, and
some trails to be cut for the
biking event for the up and
coming 2018 Jeux de
L'Acadie and the playground
will get upgrades next Spring.
2. Queen Elizabeth Park
has had extensive
renovations with new turf,
amenities including benches,
picnic tables, games tables,
garbage cans and recycling
cans, work done on the
fountain, gazebo, lights,
electrical and will have a new
entrance trellis installed this
Fall as well as other finishing
touches.
3. With the assistance of the
Rotary Club of Chatham,
the new accessible
playground officially opened
at Ritchie Wharf on August
31st. The Rotary Club of
Chatham contributed
$100,000 to this wonderful
project and the City
contributed $35,000 to finish
up the project. The shops at
the park were painted in June
and new windows and doors
will continue to be installed in
these shops into the fall.
4. Playgrounds throughout
the city had new borders
installed and Benson Park will
get a new playground
structure installed this fall.
5. LeBreton Drive Park
will have a new outdoor
basketball court installed this
fall.
6. Other repairs on
facilities included roofing at
MVHS Pool, Golden Hawk
gymnastics room and storage
area as well as the Chatham
Outdoor Pool maintenance
building.
7. Middle Island had the
windows replaced at the
restaurant in May and work
on the installation at the
office is being completed
early September.
8. Loggieville has the ball
field clubhouse coming
down as well as the old
bleachers being cleared away
making the park safer for
those wanting to use the
space.
9. Kethro Lookout has had
the trail to the river lookout
repaired including new
supports and understructure
of the platform, new stairs
and railing. This allows this
trail to re-open.
10. The Engineering Dept is
having the shoreline
protection completed on
Water Street and this will
be another trail that has been
closed that will see some
3
upcoming work to get it open
again for the public.
11. The Miramichi Civic
Center will have a new score
clock installed in late
September.
12. Unfortunately the docks
at Ritchie Wharf were not
completed for this summer
season but the tender is out
and they should be ready for
next Spring.
There has been many other
items taken care over the
summer as well and we know
there is much more to do to
meet everyone's expectations
and desires. The Department
will continue to work towards
making the facilities safe and
enjoyable for all to use and
thank the public for their
patience while we make the
improvements.
Our staff and the volunteer
sports groups have worked
hard to put together the
information on the programs
available in our community.
This brochure provides you
the details to help you set out
your recreation preferences.
“I would like to take this
opportunity to thank the
many volunteers that allow
for the many programs to be
available in our community
and provide us with the
details so that we can pass
the information along to you.
Their valuable knowledge,
skills and time needs to be
acknowledged with a huge
THANK YOU!”
The Department staff is
working with the new
healthy eating direction
given to them and
implementing it into the
programs and special events.
So you may notice some
changes that began
happening round the Easter
event last Spring. This works
well with the partnership with
the Be Alive
Northumberland, Public
Health and Mango
partnerships as they
introduce the 5210
program. Included in our
brochure is an outline of this
program and website where
you can find more
information on implementing
it with your family to assist in
keeping everyone healthy.
Our cancellation line for
storm closures will be used
once again this season (623-
2333). Please check the line
if you are unsure if a
program will be running
during inclement weather.
The staff will be making a
decision based on the
weather information provided
by Environment Canada and
putting cancellation on the
line ASAP as well as using our
Facebook page and the local
radio stations.
We are always looking to
meet the needs of our
patrons and welcome your
comments and suggestions,
as they are invaluable. You
can contact our Department
in person at our office at 94
General Manson Way, by
phone at 623-2300 or email
us at
miramichirecreation@miramic
hi.org. Your comments and
concerns are logged,
investigated and used to help
us improve our services. You
will receive a response from a
member of the staff so long
as you leave your contact
information.
There is still time for you to
participate in the Canada 150
participaction play list
activities so check out the list
included on the back cover
for your information.
Thank you for taking time to
explore your options for your
60 minutes of physical

have you realizing the health
benefits quickly!
Recreation...the
benefits are
endless!

Just a reminder that you need to complete a one-time family profile prior
to registering whether or not you are using our online service. This will
help speed up the registration process and ensure a shorter waiting time
for your convenience.
This year in April, the Lifesaving Society of NB published the latest “New Brunswick Public Pool
Safety Standards Guide” after extensive research on water safety, drowning prevention and
drowning stats in our Province. To ensure our Community Wellness & Recreation public pools
are safer for our patrons to use, we have adapted these new recommendations to our pools.
Here are the changes:
Please shower with soap and warm water before entering the pool
Children 6 and under must be accompanied by a parent or adult 16 years of age or older
who is responsible for their direct supervision.
Children 7-10 years old who are unable to complete the lap test must be accompanied
by a person 12 years of age or older who is responsible for their direct supervision.
Repetitive breath holding, prolonged underwater swimming is not permitted by general
pool users.
Snorkels and face masks are not permitted by general pool users.
Private Lessons:
Due to the high volume of private lesson request, we have implemented a system to better
serve our community and ensure everyone has equal opportunity to learn to swim. We take
those with special circumstances first that do better with one on one instruction who are unable
to attend group settings. After this, we take those who need extra help outside of their regular
scheduled instructional swim lessons if needed. Once we have accommodated the above lists,
we will offer lessons to those wishing to obtain levels through one on one instruction. Most
private lessons are done during public swim time.
Cost: $10 for 30 minutes (children under 6) $20/1 hour (children 6 years of age and over)
To book private lessons, email [email protected] or call 623-2314.

on the “Within arm’s reach” Principle. Focus is on close Playful interaction and shared fun
between child, parent & Water
Preschool Ages 3-5
Preschool 1 These preschoolers will have fun learning to get in and out of the water. We’ll help them
jump into chest deep water. They’ll float and glide on their front and back and learn to
get their faces wet and blow bubbles underwater
Preschool 2 These preschoolers learn to jump into chest-deep water by themselves, and get in and
out wearing a lifejacket. They’ll submerge and exhale underwater. Wearing lifejacket
they’ll glide on their front and back.
Preschool 3 These youngsters will try both jumping and a sideways entry into deep water while
wearing a lifejacket. They’ll recover objects from the bottom in waist-deep water. They’ll
work on kicking and gliding through the water on their front and back.
Preschool 4 Advanced preschoolers will learn to do solo jumps into deeper water and get out by
themselves. They’ll do sideways entries and open their eyes underwater. They’ll master a
short swim on their front wearing a lifejacket and gliding and kicking on their side.
Preschool 5 These youngsters get more adventuresome with a forward roll entry wearing a lifejacket
and treading water for 10 sec. They’ll work on front and back crawl swims 5m, interval
training and get a giggle out of whip kick.
Swimmer Age 6+. Levels Range on a continuum where previous level is expected to be fully
completed before going on to the next.
Beginner
Swimmer 1
Designed for children 6+ who have not gone through the preschool program. The
instructors take more time introducing the basics.
Swimmer 1 These beginners will become comfortable jumping into water with and without a
lifejacket. They’ll learn to open their eyes, exhale and hold their breath underwater. They’ll
work on floats, glides, and kicking through the water on their front and back.
Swimmer 2 These advanced beginners will jump into deeper water, and learn to be comfortable
falling sideways into the water wearing a lifejacket. They’ll be able to support themselves
at the surface without an aid, learn whip kick, front & back crawl and swim 10m on their
front and back and be introduced to flutter kick interval training (4 x 5 m).
Swimmer 3 These junior swimmers will dive and do in water front somersault and handstands. They’ll
work on 15m of front crawl, back crawl and 10m of whip kick. Flutter kick interval training
increases to 4 x 15m.
Swimmer 4 These intermediate swimmers will swim 5m underwater and lengths of front, back crawl,
whip kick, and breast stroke arms with breathing. Their new bag of tricks includes the
completion of the Canadian Swim to Survive Standard. They’ll cap it all off with front crawl
sprint over 25m and 4 x 25m front or back crawl interval training
Swimmer 5 These swimmers will master shallow dives, cannonball entries, eggbeater kicks, and in-
water backward somersaults. They’ll refine their front and back crawl over 50m swims of
each, and breaststroke over 25m. Then they’ll pick up the pace in 25m sprints and two
interval training bouts: 4 x 50m front or back crawl; and 4 x 15m breaststroke.
Swimmer 6 These advanced swimmers will rise to the challenge of sophisticated aquatic skills
including stride entries, compact jumps and lifesaving kicks like eggbeater and scissor
kick. They’ll develop strength and power in head-up breaststroke sprints over 25 m. They’ll
easily swim lengths of front crawl, back crawl, and breaststroke, and they’ll complain
about the 300m workout.

Come on Miramichi ...there’s still time to get in the game and try the Canada 150 physical activities in honor of Canada's Big Birthday!!
Register at https://www.participaction.com/en-
ca/programs/participaction-150
Here are a few reasons why (well... besides the prizes they are offering)
1. Physical activity helps people of all ages improve their overall health.
2. Regular physical activity reduces your risk of heart disease.
3. Children and teens that are physically active tend to perform better
academically.
4. Those who are physically active tend to feel happier.
5. Exercise boosts self-confidence.
Physical activity reduces the risk of premature death.
6. Exercise helps the body release mood-enhancing compounds.
7. By being active, you are role modeling healthy behavior for others. Did you
know that if you engage in physical activity there’s a much greater chance your
children will too?
8. Walking reduces the risk of many health conditions including: High Blood
Pressure, High Cholesterol, Type 2 Diabetes, Heart Disease, Osteoporosis, and
Breast and Colon Cancers.
9. Walking improves muscle tone in your lower body and uses up calories.
10. Exercise helps people to focus on things other than their worries. Even
a walk several times a week, for 20-30 minutes, can help in the treatment of
anxiety or depression
11. An active lifestyle can help you sleep better!
12. Low impact activities like walking or snowshoeing are good choices for people
with joint problems or those new to physical activity.
13. Exercise – and meet new friends!
14. Physical activity helps relieve stress.
