Season’s Greetings

I am honoured and thrilled to be your new Mayor!

I look forward to serving you for the next four years with my fellow Council Members – Councillors Laura
Dupont, Glenn Pollock, Darrell Penner, Steve Darling, Dean Washington and Nancy McCurrach.

I want to thank our outgoing Mayor, Greg Moore and former Councillor, Mike Forrest for their years of
hard work and contributions to make our community a better place. Thank you also to everyone who
participated in the 2018 election by voting or running for office.

I want to assure you that engagement of our citizens in our community will continue to be a top priority
for the City moving forward. I encourage each of you to take time to give your input on decisions being
made throughout the year. Your involvement helps us make informed decisions. It’s important we hear
what matters to you.

Of course, continue to also have fun in your community by taking part in the many great events and
activities we have lined up for this holiday season. My family and I hope to see you at the Winter in the
City events, including Christmas in Leigh Square, the Winter Artisan Market and the welcoming of the CP
Holiday Train on December 18.

The holiday season is always a busy one, so the programs offered in this season’s leisure guide are a
great way for you to take some time for yourself and stay healthy. Visit experienceit.ca to find a program
that meets your needs.

My final message is to embrace the spirit of Christmas by
giving what you can to help others. Whether you’re able to
contribute to a food or toy drive or help a neighbour clear
snow from their sidewalk, it is the small things that often
make the biggest impacts in our community.

On behalf of City Council and staff, we
wish you all the best in the year ahead!

                                            Brad West
                                                Mayor

                     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 Services at 604.927.7974.
