Miramichi Community Wellness and Recreation is committed to enhancing the quality of life for Miramichi residents and plays a significant role in shaping the character of the City through the various facilities, parks, special events and programs it offers.

Community Involvement: The City of Miramichi recognizes the importance of having the community involved in shaping the future of Miramichi. An example of this is the commitment made by council to join the Age-Friendly Community initiative. We recognize that our aging population plays an important role in our community, and by working with them, we can create an action plan that will allow us to better serve this population and create a community that can be enjoyed by all.

The City of Miramichi will also be launching its Neighbourhood Matching Grant this fall. This grant is intended to support community groups, organizations, and neighbourhood associations by providing resources to support projects that make our neighbourhoods and community stronger and more connected.

The City of Miramichi has also seen the addition of the Ellis St Community Garden. This community-lead project has multiple plots available for community members, and contains a communal plot, where the community can access fresh vegetables.

Facilities: Miramichi Community Wellness and Recreation aims to ensure that all facilities are safe and enjoyable for all users. By creating a sense of place, parks, trails, and recreation facilities in

Miramichi provide critical connections for residents through the natural environment, recreational pursuits, historic appreciation, and social and cultural events. This sense of place shapes the cohesive fabric of vision, values and identity of the community while promoting an active lifestyle for all ages.

The City of Miramichi continues to make significant investments in our parks, trails, and facilities.

This fall the department will be making upgrades to French Fort Cove, which include a new nature themed playground, a bike skills park, expansion of trails, and extension of the parking lot.

The ever-popular Ritchie’s Wharf will also be receiving a facelift, which will include

3

replacement of the boardwalk, lighting upgrades, and electrical upgrades. This spring there was also an extension of the docking system, which provided more residents the opportunity to get out and enjoy our beautiful river.

With the investments

made in our parks and

facilities, Miramichi has

become a destination that

welcomes and captivates

residents and visitors.

Wellness Initiatives: The

Miramichi Community

Wellness and Recreation

Department also plays an

active role in promoting

and delivering wellness

initiatives throughout the

City. Through collaboration

and partnerships with

other agencies and

stakeholders, the

department is better able

to promote and provide

opportunities for all

residents to live a

healthy active lifestyle.

The Department works

closely with multiple

stakeholders such as Be

Alive Northumberland,

Public Health, and the

MANGO program.

Examples of initiatives are

the Department’s

implementation of

healthy eating options in

our Recreation facilities,

implementing healthy

eating in programming and

special events, sponsored

Yoga sessions in our

parks, promotion of the

5210 programs, Use It or

Lose It, and a partnership

with MANGO in offering

Beginner Walking

programs (page 7)

Programming: As you will

see from the multiple

programs and activities in

this brochure, Miramichi

Community Wellness

and Recreation staff and

the many volunteers,

and volunteer

associations work

extremely hard in

providing positive

recreational

opportunities for all

residents. We are always

looking for new programs

and initiatives that meet

the needs of our changing

population. If you have

ideas, suggestions or

comments, the

Department would like to

hear from you. You can

contact our Department in

person at our office at 94

General Manson Way, by

phone at 623-2300 or by

emailing us at

Miramichi Community

Wellness and recreation

Benefits of Senior Activities

The Miramichi Community Wellness & Recreation Department offers a

variety of events for individuals 50 and over to encourage social activity

and involvement within the community. Some of these events that are

offered include: Senior Bingos, Senior Auction 45’s Championships, and

Senior Dances. The key benefits of being socially active are:

• Reduced stress Older adults who are socially active handle

stress better. This leads to important increases in

cardiovascular health and an improved immune system.

• Creates new friendships

• Longer lifespan High levels of socialization in seniors helps

increase longevity.

• Greater self-esteem Socialization helps to feel confident

in yourselves and your abilities.

• Promotes a healthy lifestyle

• Increase in cognitive functioning Encourages continuing

learning, observing and responding to the world around us.

21

The Miramichi Community Wellness & Recreation Department continues to

offer the Lifesaving Society’s Swim for Life Program and encourages all children

and adults to take lessons as swimming is a very important life skill that

everyone should have. Remember adults, it’s never to late to learn!

The Lifesaving Society of NB has published the latest “New Brunswick Public Pool Safety

Standards Guide” after extensive research on water safety, drowning prevention and drowning

stats in our Province. To ensure our Community Wellness & Recreation public pools are safer

for our patrons to use, we have adapted these new recommendations to our pools.

Here are the changes:

✓ Please shower with soap and warm water before entering the pool

✓ Children 6 and under must be accompanied by a parent or adult 16 years of age or older

who is responsible for their direct supervision.

✓ Children 7-10 years old who are unable to complete the lap test must be accompanied

by a person 12 year of age or older who is responsible for their direct supervision.

✓ Repetitive breath holding, prolonged underwater swimming is not permitted by general

pool users.

✓ Snorkels and face masks are not permitted by general pool users.

Private Lessons:

Due to the high volume of private lesson request, we have implemented a system to better

serve our community and ensure everyone has equal opportunity to learn to swim. We take

those with special circumstances first that do better with one on one instruction who are unable

to attend group settings. After this, we take those who need extra help outside of their regular

scheduled instructional swim lessons if needed. Once we have accommodated the above lists,

we will offer lessons to those wishing to obtain levels through one on one instruction. Most

private lessons are done during public swim time.

Cost: $10 for 30 minutes (children under 6) $20/1 hour (children 6 years of age and over)

To book private lessons, email [email protected] or call 623-2054.

on the “Within arm’s reach” Principle. Focus is on close Playful interaction and shared

fun between child, parent & Water

Preschool Ages 3-5

Preschool 1 These preschoolers will have fun learning to get in and out of the water. We’ll help them

jump into chest deep water. They’ll float and glide on their front and back and learn to

get their faces wet and blow bubbles underwater

Preschool 2 These preschoolers learn to jump into chest-deep water by themselves, and get in and

out wearing a lifejacket. They’ll submerge and exhale underwater. Wearing lifejacket

they’ll glide on their front and back.

Preschool 3 These youngsters will try both jumping and a sideways entry into deep water while

wearing a lifejacket. They’ll recover objects from the bottom in waist-deep water.

They’ll work on kicking and gliding through the water on their front and back.

Preschool 4 Advanced preschoolers will learn to do solo jumps into deeper water and get out by

themselves. They’ll do sideways entries and open their eyes underwater. They’ll master

a short swim on their front wearing a lifejacket and gliding and kicking on their side.

Preschool 5 These youngsters get more adventuresome with a forward roll entry wearing a lifejacket

and treading water for 10 sec. They’ll work on front and back crawl swims 5m, interval

training and get a giggle out of whip kick.

Swimmer Age 6+. Levels Range on a continuum where previous level is expected to be fully

completed before going on to the next.

falling sideways into the water wearing a lifejacket. They’ll be able to support

themselves at the surface without an aid, learn whip kick, front & back crawl and swim

10m on their front and back and be introduced to flutter kick interval training (4 x 5 m).

whip kick, and breast stroke arms with breathing. Their new bag of tricks includes the

completion of the Canadian Swim to Survive Standard. They’ll cap it all off with front

crawl sprint over 25m and 4 x 25m front or back crawl interval training

Swimmer 5 These swimmers will master shallow dives, cannonball entries, eggbeater kicks, and in-

water backward somersaults. They’ll refine their front and back crawl over 50m swims

of each, and breaststroke over 25m. Then they’ll pick up the pace in 25m sprints and

two interval training bouts: 4 x 50m front or back crawl; and 4 x 15m breaststroke.

Swimmer 6 These advanced swimmers will rise to the challenge of sophisticated aquatic skills

including stride entries, compact jumps and lifesaving kicks like eggbeater and scissor

kick. They’ll develop strength and power in head-up breaststroke sprints over 25 m.

Do you need a cool way to work out over

the winter? Ice skating has many health

and wellness benefits plus it’s lots of fun!

Did you know that skating works nearly

every muscle group in the body and gliding

requires synchronized movement of the

legs which is important for joint flexibility.

It also builds up the leg and abdominal

muscles plus is great for cardiovascular

health – it gets the blood pumping and the

heart rate up.

Skating is also great for stress management.

Along with the benefits of the physical

activity itself, skating brings friends to the

rink and you can meet new people, also a

great to unwind after a long week!

So grab your skates and head out to the

Miramichi Civic Center or LBA and join

us for one of our many public, preschool

and senior skates. Whether you come for

hockey, ringette, figure skating or one of

the adult fun leagues, the health benefits

to putting on your pair of skates are

endless!

The Fall is a great time to enjoy the City’s many outdoor recreational

facilities and to take in all the colors that nature has to offer.

The skate park and zipline are open until mid October as well as the many trails,

parks and playgrounds located throughout the City. Many improvements have

been carried out on our outdoor facilities for your enjoyment. Great way to

spend quality time with your family while meeting your daily physical activity

goals!

During the winter months City trails are not maintained, however users can still

enjoy snowshoeing and cross country skiing at your own risk.

For maintained trails for these activities you can contact the Cross Country Ski

Club at 622-6991 or visit their facebook page under “Miramichi Cross Country

Ski Club”
