A variety of topics from the science of the fish to the ecology of the river are presented by the virtual tour guide for an educational and entertaining trail experience. There are a total of 15 QR code signs along the trail and locating all of the codes becomes a scavenger hunt and a great educational walk for the family.

Chilliwack Youth Orchestra Our Orchestra
Senior Strings
The CYO offers three different orchestras to engage young musicians with varying levels of experience. Each orchestra has opportunities to perform exciting repertoire as well as unique opportunities to collaborate as combined groups. With our special mentorship program, we have university students and advanced musicians working with the students to coach students on their specific instruments.
Conducted by Maestro Louwersheimer, the Senior Orchestra will challenge and inspire the most advanced players as they perform exciting symphonic repertoire with artistry and increasing skill.
Junior Strings Conducted by David Voth, this orchestra gives younger string players their first experience with an ensemble, playing music that is fun and engaging. These players will also have the opportunity to perform in a full orchestra setting when they join together with the Intermediate Orchestra.
Intermediate Strings Also conducted by David Voth, the Intermediate Orchestra incorporates wind, brass, and percussion players alongside more experienced string players to create a full orchestra. They perform a wide variety of music, from jazz standards to classical masterworks. Combining with the Senior Orchestra will also allow these players to learn from their more advanced peers as they perform larger symphonic works.

In Our Chambers Gallery Basketry Exhibit opening February 21, 2015! For centuries, aboriginal basket makers made containers from roots, bark and grasses. These baskets served useful functions such as storing goods and foods. Baskets were given as gifts to witnesses who gathered for important events such as potlatches, or traded with other aboriginal communities for goods unavailable in local areas. In the mid-1880s when transcontinental railroads were completed, tourists began flooding the west. Basket makers found a market for the sale of the intricately woven containers. “No home is complete now-a-days without a neat and artistically arranged Indian basket corner,” heralded a 1904 brochure produced by the Alaska Steamship Company. By the late 1930s, this curio trade had largely dried up. The skills required to make baskets were slowly but not completely disappearing. Today these skills are still being passed on as modern-day basket makers study the techniques of past generations to create new and innovative designs. The exhibit looks at the changing styles and uses of baskets within the context of changing economies and cultural usages.

Swimming Lesson Descriptions Parent & Tot (6 – 35 months) In this program we introduce your child to water, build their water confidence, and educate you as the parent on pertinent water safety. Our program consists of singing songs and playing interactive games, through fun group activities we will appeal to your child’s curiosity and desire for play, while we increase their comfort in and under the water. In addition, we will promote balance and movement; and begin swim skill acquisition. Preschool 1 (Ages 3 – 5) In this beginner level, all skills are assisted by the instructor. Using games and activities, swimmers will learn to submerge, open their eyes under water, develop basic floats, glides and kick. Preschool 2 – 3 (Ages 3 – 5) Swimmers will further develop unassisted floats, glides, and kicking. They will learn to swim up to 10 metres, and perform skills in deep water. Preschool 4 – 5 (Ages 3 – 5) Swimmers will increase their swimming distance to 20 metres, and their surface support to 20 seconds. They will learn the fundamentals of front crawl, back swim and be introduced to whip kick. The majority of this class is taught in deep water. Swim Kids 1 – 2 (Ages 6+) This entry level program provides an orientation to safety around the water and pool area. Floats and glides with kick are introduced. Children build their endurance using flutter kick with assisted glides. Swim Kids 3 – 5 (Ages 6+) These levels build the child’s skill in front and back crawl, diving, sculling, and whip kick.

Chilliwack Family YMCA
Aquatics
We offer a unique continuous swim lesson system. At the Y, you no longer need to scramble every season to ensure your child gets a convenient swim lesson time. We offer swim lessons on a continuous basis and once you’ve signed up and selected your spot, it’s yours to keep. This means you do not need to register every season and you don’t have to worry about having your slot taken by someone else. You can register your child at any time and they can progress at their own pace within a group. • We help kids jump in, have fun, learn to swim and grow their confidence. • Our programs—from Bobbers to Stars—give your kids the skills needed for a lifetime of safe fun in the water. • Membership makes it easy for families to be active together with recreational swimming and family swimming at convenient times. • Membership includes all-day access to Aquafit and lane swimming. • For those 16 and older who have their Bronze Cross, NLS or Star 6 accreditation already, we offer a course in how to become a YMCA Swim Instructor.
MEND - Mind, Exercise, Nutrition... Do It!
Trying to maintain a healthy, active lifestyle can be challenging. With school, an abundance of screen time and a busy family life, kids are spending less time being active and as a result, many are above a healthy weight. Helping kids grow up strong and healthy is why the YMCA exists. That’s why we offer MEND, a provincially funded program that empowers children and families to become fitter and healthier. This free and fun 10-week program supports children ages 7-13 who are above a healthy body weight to adopt a healthy lifestyle. Parents/ caregivers join their children in each session to learn about how to choose healthier foods and spend more time being physically active.

Chilliwack Family YMCA
Children
Parents with young kids are tight on time and energy. That’s why we focus on making our programs easy to fit into your schedule, while giving you the chance to exercise and recharge. Whether you’re playing games together on Family Night, dropping in for a swim, exposing your child to new activities or each finding your own way to get fit, rest assured that you are growing together as a family at the Y. Activities for children include: • Swim Lessons • Active Play • Creative Play • Active Games • Gymnastics • Tumble Time • Freak Out Friday • Physical Literacy Programs
Licensed Child Care
Choosing a child care provider is a big decision. You want your child to feel at home, learn, grow and have fun in an environment that is welcoming, safe and stimulating. And most of all you want caring and supportive caregivers who understand what makes your child special. Through both our early years and before and after school licensed programs, kids learn values and positive behaviours in a supportive environment. Children have the opportunity to be active, have fun and develop confidence. Plus, parents get the peace of mind knowing that children are active and learning while spending time with friends and positive adult role models. We offer programs for the following ages: • Infant and toddler (0-36 months) • 3-5 year olds • Preschool • 5-12 year olds (before and after school) WINTER/SPRING 2015 CHILLIWACK LEISURE GUIDE 47
