As well, City Council seeks the AAC’s advice on accessibility for people with disabilities with respect to buildings that the City constructs, purchases, significantly renovates, leases, or declares a municipal capital facility. Further, the AAC reviews site plans and drawings from developers. Elements of a site plan that may impact accessibility include: buildings, driveways, entrances, curbs or ramping, parking areas, sidewalks, landscaping, fences, exterior lighting, and municipal services.

learn to swim information
Learning to swim is a progressive processYour child will progress along the learning continuum at his/her own rate, and itmay take more than one session to complete each level. If you have any questionsor concerns regarding your child’s lessons, please do not hesitate to talk to the on deck supervisor immediately. We appreciate your feedback and can usually solve your concerns as soon as we know about them.
What level should I enrol in?Take a look at the descriptions below each swimming level for the prerequisites for each level. If you are still unsure of the appropriate level, or if you have not taken lessons with us before, we can arrange for an assessment by one of our aquatic staff.
Taken lessons before?Please review your child’s progress report at the end of each session to determineif your child has completed all the knowledge and skill items necessary to progress to the next level.
What do we bring?Just a swimsuit and a towel. Some people like to wear goggles when they swim,but they are not necessary. All children who are not toilet trained are required towear a plasticized bathing suit or plastic pants over their bathing suit. Please, nodisposable diapers. Also, if you have progress reports from previous swimminglessons it is a good idea to bring those to the Instructors. This will give them abetter idea of any remaining skills that need to be worked on.
