Welcome!
Burnaby Parks, Recreation & Culture Commission

When the weather begins to cool, we know winter is coming. Instead of staying indoors and waiting
for summer to come around again, enjoy what your city has to offer. Whether that means exploring the
outdoors and witnessing a sunset, or trying something new, it is time to embrace a season of change.
Along with a new season, one of our facilities is also undergoing an exciting change. Underway is Bonsor
Recreation Complexs second floor renovation with a new indoor cycling studio, multi-purpose rooms and
more! Stay involved in the process as we share updates on the progress of the renovations on our social
media channels.
Be active in all aspects of life, Whether that is achieved through sport, arts and culture, social activities, or
all of the above, it is all about being involved in your community. Browse through our Leisure Guide to find
programs taught by qualified instructorslearn to swim, play a new instrument, improve your golf swing
and more.
Commission Meetings
Commission meetings are open to the public and are
held once a month, generally on the third Wednesday
at 7pm. During commission meetings, public
delegations are heard, correspondence is received and
reports are presented by staff. Members then discuss
the issues raised, debate and vote. Regular commission
meetings are held in the City Hall Council Chambers.
Community commission meetings are held right in your
neighbourhood and are followed by a question-andanswer period along with coffee and a chance to chat
with the commissioners.
During the winter, the holiday season is always something to look forward to. Visit the Edmonds Festival
of Lights, Seasonal Celebration at the Shadbolt Centre and Heritage Christmas at the Burnaby Village
Museum. And save the dates for these upcoming special days: World Rivers Day, Culture Days in Canada,
and Family Day in BC, when the city is packed full of family-friendly activities.
We extend a sincere invitation for you to get involved in

your community by attending a meeting:

Pool Rules & Etiquette
Public bathing facilities have a long history dating back

to around 6th century BC and the ancient Greeks. And
in countries all over the world, these public facilities are
still an important aspect of community life. In Burnaby,
the citys community centres have a similar function;
theyre community gathering places where people can
meet and make friends, exercise and unwind before
or after a busy day. However, our swimming pools are
definitely not bathing facilities. They are places for
swimming only, and we respectfully ask patrons not to
think of the pool as a place for personal hygiene but as
a place to swim.
Staff at Burnabys pools work very hard to maintain a
safe and sanitary facility. The pools are cleaned each
day, and a state-of-the-art filtration and chemical
treatment system ensures that the water and the
surrounding deck are clean. We also need your
help to maintain a clean, comfortable and sanitary
environment. Outside shoes are not allowed on the
pool deck; they can track in dirt and germs, which of
course contaminate the pool. Please go barefoot or
bring sandals to wear when on the pool deck. Health
regulations also require that everyone take a cleansing
shower using soap before entering the pool or hot tub
areas.
Please note: Our family change rooms are very busy
spaces. These rooms are for people with children and
for people with disabilities. Thank you very much for
your cooperation and understanding in following these
important pool regulations.
Note: Prices change 15 minutes before next session begins.

Weight Room & Swirl (CG Brown only) $5.52 adult, $4.19 student (25 years & under with valid ID)/senior
Loonie Swim $1.00 per person, all ages
Tot Pool only for Adult (Bonsor & CG Brown) $3.09

ID to receive the Student rate.

A fun approach to stroke improvement for lifeguard

lengths).

who do not know how to skate. In this level,
children receive a facility tour and learn about safety
on ice, how to fall down and stand up and how to
walk on ice without assistance, along with other
building blocks to progress to the next level.

skating the width of the rink with a glide and twofoot gliding. They are also introduced to backwards
skating and forward stopping. Prerequisite: Intro to
Gliders or an evaluation of their skill level.
Gliders 2 Children continue to work on
strengthening their forward and backwards skating
and becoming stronger in forward stopping. They
are introduced to backwards stopping and one-foot
glides.
Gliders 3 Children strengthen their backwards
skating, become more proficient with forward and
backwards stopping and learn how to glide on a
curve as well as forward sculling.
Gliders 4 Children continue to develop their
forward/backwards stopping while also learning
forward/backwards sculling and are introduced to
T-pushes and one-foot gliding on a curve.
Gliders 5 In this intermediate level, children
become more proficient with forward and
backwards sculling, T-pushes and inside edges.
Gliders 6 This advanced level challenges the skater
by introducing forward inside edges, backward onefoot gliding, one-foot sculls and backward C-pushes.

Baby Signing & Song Level l

Parents and babies learn sign language through
music and movement in a fun and supportive
atmosphere. Signing stimulates intellectual
development, provides a strong foundation for
early literacy and boosts spoken vocabulary. Babies
use signs before they speak (waving bye-bye),
and signing enables them to communicate more
effectively from a young age. The Level II class is a
further exploration of concepts and introduces more
vocabulary. Instructor: Nicole Walker

skills and motor abilities they require to become
physically literate. Through explorative play and
active games, preschoolers learn how and why their
bodies move for awareness and safety. This allows
children to develop the competence and confidence
for future sport experiences. Find out more at

Rather than memorizing sequence of exercises,

participants are taught simple goals/guidelines
to create their own exercise routine that
is relevant and effective. These classes are
tailored specifically to seniors to protect as
well as have fun. The goal is to empower
seniors through improved flexibility, balance,
co-ordination, strength and knowledge.
With new movement patterns for fitness and
a new understanding of how to effectively
neutralize hazards, seniors are better equipped
to maintain their quality of life for longer.
Class practices aim to make these newly
learned skills natural and instinctive. Frequent
interaction and feedback are used to improve
quality of movement and understanding.
