Summer 2019

                     Our Commitment To Accessible Recreation Opportunities
LEISURE BUDDY PROGRAM
The purpose of the Leisure Buddy program is to provide support for individuals living with disabilities so they can participate in
recreation opportunities offered by the City of Port Coquitlam. This can include, but is not limited to those living with physical,
cognitive, behavioral or developmental challenges. The goal of a Leisure Buddy is to provide one-on-one volunteer support to
program participants in an effort to create an inclusive recreation environment.

LEISURE BUDDY REQUEST PROCESS:
•   If the idea of a Leisure Buddy interests you, please visit www.portcoquitlam.ca/leisurebuddy to fill out an
    application form. Hard copies of the form are available at the front desk of all recreation facilities.
•   Access Services requires at least two weeks’ notice, prior to the start date of your registered programs,
    to find an appropriate Leisure Buddy.
•   Participants are matched with a Leisure Buddy on a first come, first serve basis.
•   Spring, Summer and Winter Break camp programs require high demand for leisure buddies.
    Participants are eligible for two weeks of Leisure Buddy support based on availability and resources.
•   Access to a Leisure Buddy is not a guarantee. If a Leisure Buddy cannot be found, Access Services will be in
    contact to discuss further options which may include withdrawal from the program.

IMPORTANT CONSIDERATIONS FOR THOSE APPLYING FOR A LEISURE BUDDY:
•   We acknowledge that each participant is unique and are keen to learn the best approaches or techniques
    specific to your child so they can be successful in our programs.
•   When describing your child’s needs please remember what may be routine for you and your family may not be
    routine for our program staff.
•   Our program staff focuses on leading group activities and aims to provide balanced supervision for all participants.
    The Leisure Buddy assists the instructor and participants by supporting those with one-to-one needs.
•   Your child’s Leisure Buddy does not provide any personal care including changing, toileting, feeding or
    administering medications.
•   We want to set all program participants up for success. When selecting a program, please consider the nature
    of the activities your child will be participating in. If you are unsure if a program is the right fit, please contact a
    program supervisor to learn more.
For more information on the Leisure Buddy Program, please contact Access Inclusion Services at 604.927.7974.

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.
