A Message from your Mayor Few things sprout optimism the way the onset of spring does. With this in mind, I am eager to present our Spring 2020 Leisure Guide, which I hope will inspire you to pursue new things as we embrace the change of the season. This Guide outlines all the opportunities, programs, and events to motivate you and your family to emerge from the winter months with an appetite to enjoy your community, master old skills, and try something brand new. Amongst many incredible options, some I found particularly interesting are: • Musical Theatre at our new North Delta Centre for the Arts (page 10) • Spring Break programs for kids of all ages (pages 37-41). • Delta Fitness Academy – our unique collection of courses for those who want to understand fitness on a higher level (page 64)
George V. Harvie Mayor
We look forward to celebrating the opening of the new North Delta Centre for the Arts this spring. This beautiful new building will be the home for some truly incredible performances and arts programs for everyone to enjoy. Be sure to pay attention to Delta’s social media channels for more information about a formal grand opening soon. As the weather clears and the flowers begin to bloom again, I hope you find a moment to enjoy some of the gorgeous parks and trails that intertwine our communities. With events like the Watershed Creek Fish Release, Ladner Pioneer May Days, and North Delta Family Days, there are plenty of opportunities for you to experience Delta to its fullest. On behalf of Delta Council, I look forward to seeing you in the community as we celebrate the optimism of spring.
Mayor George V. Harvie

Leisure Access Assistance Program Delta’s Leisure Access Assistance Program allows eligible, lowincome Delta residents (individuals or families) to access drop-in land and aquatic fitness classes, weight room sessions, public swims, open gyms, and public skating. The Leisure Access Assistance Program determines eligibility for recreation and leisure subsidy based on the total household income. For more information regarding the Leisure Access Assistance Program, please contact 604-946-3298.

Eric Ripplinger Memorial Fund for Swim Lessons Eric Ripplinger was born March 1988, but sadly drowned at age 2. A trust fund was set up by his parents and friends to fund swim lessons for Delta children who might not otherwise be able to take them. Complete or partial funding is available for children 6 months-12 years of age to learn how to swim in Delta Parks, Recreation & Culture lesson sets at any Delta pool. Please call 604-946-3305 or email access@delta.ca for more information. Delta thanks the Ripplinger family for their generous support.

We match suitable volunteers with participants in registered programs. To get started, please contact the Programmer for Volunteers and People with Disabilities at 604-946-3288, who will then meet you to review your needs. It may take time to match a participant with an appropriate volunteer. A minimum of two weeks notice prior to program start is required when requesting a Support Volunteer.

Delta’s indoor and outdoor aquatic facilities are great places to learn water safety, how to swim, get and stay in shape, have some fun, volunteer and work at. Delta pools are staffed by creative and fun-loving lifeguards who ensure everyone has a great time while staying active and safe in the water.
Swirl Pool Age Guidelines All children under 13 years of age may use the swirl pools when accompanied by an adult age 16 years or older.
Special Features Diving boards, rope drop, mat walk, inflatables, climbing wall (dependent on facility) are open during peak times, programs and other activities permitting.
Pool Etiquette and Guidelines • Children under the age of 7 must be within arm’s reach of an adult age 16 years or older at all times: 1 adult to a maximum of 3 children under the age of 7. • Outside shoes are not allowed on the pool deck; they can track in dirt and germs, which contaminate the pool. Please go barefoot or bring in non-slip footwear when on the pool deck. • Always remember to walk on the deck. • Health regulations require that everyone take a cleansing shower using soap before entering the pool or swirl pool areas. • Our family change rooms are very busy spaces. These rooms are for people with children of the opposite gender and their caregiver, and for people with disabilities. Please ensure that you remove your belongings from these spaces when not in use. • Diving is permitted only in the deep end of the main/sunshine pools.
• Should an injury occur when at the pool, report it to the Lifeguard staff right away. • In an emergency, follow the directions of the Lifeguard staff. • For health and safety, please do not go into the pool if you have an illness, head cold, open sores, bandages, or an infection from the ears and eyes. • Our sauna rooms, steam rooms and swirl pools are all designated quiet zones. Please talk quietly. With a little courtesy, lap swimming can work for everyone. Please: • Always swim to the right of the lane and pass on the left. • Be aware of what is going on in your lane. • Move graciously to a different lane if asked by a Lifeguard to do so. • Allow a faster swimmer to pass you. • Move to another lane that is more appropriate for your swimming speed if you are constantly being passed by other swimmers.
Buckles’ Water Safety Tip: With warmer weather approaching, we know you’ll be heading out to enjoy some open water locations. Remember that after chilly winter, dykes, creeks, rivers, ponds, slough, lakes and ocean water take time to warm up to comfortable temperatures so use caution and ensure you are prepared. Get ready for sunny days outside and learn how to recreate safely in, on and around water in any of our Red Cross Swimming Programs. • Attend our Delta Water Safety Event on June 6 at Scottsdale Mall 12-3pm • Check weather and water reports before choosing your recreation spot • Contact an Aquatic Programmer to see what programs may meet your needs. Please visit Delta.ca for up-to-date facility schedules. Please note that on Statutory Holidays aquatic facilities maintain regular hours of operation and regular admission rates apply.

THIN AND REMOVE CONIFEROUS TREES: Space dominant trees at least three metres apart, and remove any understory trees that are in close proximity that could act as a ladder for fire to move into the tree tops and spread. Retain deciduous trees which are resistant to wildfire.
FIRESMART LANDSCAPING: Keep woodpiles, propane tanks, outbuildings and combustibles at least 10 metres away from your home. Consult the FireSmart© Guide to Landscaping for more tips.
REMOVE SURFACE FUELS: Regularly clean up accumulations of fallen branches, dry grass, needles and other flammable debris from the ground.
NOT YOUR LAND? If there’s property within 100 metres of your home that is owned by your neighbours, get them engaged in the FireSmart© Community Recognition Program!
YARD MAINTENANCE: Regularly mow your lawn. Remove deadfall, coniferous trees and other flammable vegetation. Sweep your decks and rake up tree needles, leaves and debris.
PLANTING NEW TREES: If you’re going to plant new trees in this zone, consider planting deciduous species like aspen, poplar and birch. They have lower flammability rates.
