Winter Wonderland
The theme of the winter 2014 Activity Guide is “winter wonderland” because we at Parks, Recreation and Cultural Services truly believe that winter is a time of wonder and beauty. Welcome to winter! Welcome to a wonderland of snow, tobogganing, skiing, sledding, and cozy nights by the fire. This year, return to the simple joys that a yard full of snow can bring. Grab your skis, snowshoes, skates, sled or snowman making kit and get outside!
“If you never did, you should. These things are fun and fun is good” -Dr. Seuss

Sandra Cooper
The past 5 years have seen Sandy transition from a diagnosis of breast cancer, treatment, enrollment into the Sensational Survivors exercise program to an “aging athlete” with the Spirit Warriors dragon boat team. Sandy believes that the TCC monthly track pass is the best value in town and provides a wonderful social environment to motivate her to stay active during the winter months. Walking at the TCC indoor track and fitness classes including Zumba and yoga keep Sandra busy and active in the winter months and exercising in the winter is necessary to keep fit for summer dragon boating season. Sandra feels that after living and working in Ontario for her whole life, moving to Kamloops has been like retiring to a southern resort. She loves looking out at the surrounding mountains on winter mornings and knowing that that a wide range of options are available both indoors and out to keep her active. Sandra looks forward to trying snowshoeing this year!

Given our abundance of outdoor winter recreational opportunities it is important that everyone be careful around frozen lakes, rivers and streams. According to the Lifesaving Society almost three quarters of icerelated incidents occur on lakes while the rest occur on rivers. Male snowmobilers account for the majority of winter drownings – 62% of these incidents involve open water/ice holes and 38% involve thin ice. Make sure everyone in your family knows these basic ice safety and self-rescue tips courtesy of the Lifesaving Society:
1. A lways check ice thickness before venturing out. Snowmobiles require at least five inches of clear solid ice and autos at least eight inches to a foot of clear solid ice. 2. B e suspicious. You cannot tell the strength of the ice by its appearance. Temperature, thickness, snow cover, water depth, size of water body, load distribution and currents are all factors affecting ice safety. 3. C heck with a local bait shop or resort owner for known ice conditions, thin ice areas or dangerous open water conditions.
What to do if you break through the ice?
1. D on’t panic - the clothes you’re wearing will trap air and keep you buoyant. 2. T urn toward the direction you came from and place your hands and arms on the unbroken surface. 3. K ick your feet and try to push yourself forward on top of the unbroken ice on your stomach like a seal. 4. O nce you are lying on the ice, don’t stand up. Roll away from the break until you’re on solid ice

An electric clothes dryer is the second largest user of energy in your home. Lower your energy consumption by hanging your clothes to dry whenever possible. If you cannot hang them to dry, add a dry towel to a load to speed up the drying process. Or use two dryer balls in your dryer which will separate the clothes better and shorten the drying time by up to a third. What is the largest energy consumer?

Children
There are many benefits to having a clothing swap. With the “go green” trend becoming so popular over the past few years, more people are recognizing the waste caused by throwing out wearable clothing. People are finding ways to reuse and recycle their unwanted clothing by re-selling or donating. Clothing swaps are a direct and social way of recycling your clothes. Instead of dropping them off at a donation center, you trade them with others.

Children
KIDS WHO PLAY ON FROZEN RIVERS ARE WALKING ON THIN ICE BC-Yukon Branch One out of every 12 Canadians who drowns each year plunges through unsafe ice. In almost half of these cases, people drown while simply walking, playing, or fishing. Keep kids safe by keeping them off of the ice and do not leave children unsupervised when playing near river shore ice. The crust that forms on top of a river is unstable due to water swirling beneath. Rescue tips for a child who slips through thin ice: • Call for help • Encourage and help the child with a long reaching assist: rope, ladder, hockey stick, tree branch, etc... • When the child grabs the reaching assist, pull gently to ease him/her out • Tell the child to crawl along the ice with feet spread • Reach or throw but don’t go! When the child reaches safety, remove wet clothing as soon as dry garments are available and seek medical attention. For more information regarding ice safety visit: www.lifesaving.bc.ca The Lifesaving Society is a national, charitable organization working to prevent drowning and water-related injury through its training programs, Water Smart® public education campaign and aquatic safety management services.

Staying Active during Winter Months
PLAY AND LEARN
Wondering how to stay active this winter? The cold and snow don’t have to be a deterrent, in fact, use them to your advantage! Here are 5 suggestions to stay active during the winter that you can do as a family.
Ages: 5 and under Come out and socialize with families from Dallas and Barnhartvale. The play group runs in conjunction with school days.
1. S hovel the driveway! As the saying goes, ‘many hands make light work’! Perhaps there is a senior in your neighbourhood? Why not shovel their driveway and get more physical activity while doing a good deed!
3. Go sledding! Put on your snow gear and helmet and head outside for some sledding! Walking up the hills is a great way to get some physical activity during the snowy months while spending some quality time with your family. 4. B uild a snow family! Get a carrot, toque and some sticks for arms and build a snow man! Building the body requires a lot of physical movement and takes teamwork! Your family could build a family out of snow! 5. G o skating! Did you know Kamloops has some great skating rinks?

Did You Know?
Worms at Work: Compost inside your home, year round, with red wiggler worms (vermicomposting). A bin of red wiggler worms are able to eat half of their body weight a day of your organic waste and the bin is small enough to fit under a kitchen sink. Winter composting is still possible with a Backyard composter. Organics will freeze, but will decompose quickly when it thaws out in the spring. Help it break down faster by turning it when it thaws out and adding carbon rich leaves.

Aquafitness
Aquafit is exercising through movement in water. Water generates natural ‘resistance’ which facilitates a full-body workout at your own pace and intensity. Buoyancy promotes ‘low impact’ movement by decreasing the shock transmitted through your bones and joints. Aqualite: For beginner to experienced exercisers looking for low intensity, low impact class in shallow water. Aquafit: For all levels of exercisers looking for a low impact, high intensity class in shallow water. These classes feature full body strength, flexibility and cardio training. Deep Water Aquafit: For intermediate to experienced exercisers looking for a no impact, high intensity class in deep water. These classes feature full body strength, flexibility, and cardio training and require flotation belts which are provided.
Safe to Participate PAR-Q and You Being more active is very safe for most people; however, some people should check with their doctor before they start becoming much more physically active. All Aquafit participants must review the Physical Activity Readiness Questionnaire (PAR-Q) prior to participation. If you are between the ages of 15 and 69, the PAR-Q will tell you if you should check with your doctor before you start. If you are over 69 years of age and you are not used to being very active, check with your doctor before participating. For more details, please talk to the instructor or visit kamloops.ca/swim.

Active Aging You have the power to motivate!
This winter, take the cold weather as an opportunity to engage in the “buddy system”. Try a new activity or return to an interest with a friend. Exercising with company is a great way to stay motivated especially on the days that you would rather stay home. A companion also provides some security as the days are getting shorter and you may find yourself heading outdoors in the dark. You may surprise yourself at the motivation you provide to your exercise partner. You have the power to motivate!
Cold Weather Safety
The cold air can provide some added stress on your circulatory and respiratory systems when exercising or doing activity outdoors. Remember to bundle up and limit your intensity until you are fully warmed up.
