MAYOR’S MESSAGENorth Perth is a community in motion! We are growing, reshaping, diversifying – and yet rooted in our historical commitments to each other. We are neighbourly. We believe in hard work. We believe in sensible play. We are proud of the many things we’ve achieved. We continue to look forward to a bright future, and welcome those who are new to our community to get involved and be in the know.

The 2020 Spring and Summer Guide joins a bevy of other information sources to help you be aware of great opportunities to participate and to share your opinion. It is one of the key means by which the Municipality of North Perth shares information about its services, programs and contacts. We invite you to hold on to this document for the next year – its phone and contact directories, and information about YOUR Council, prove great reference points to your local government.

It is pretty common that residents aren’t quite sure what their municipality does. To help you better understand available municipal services, we have included an overview by department of these.

The original – and continuing – purpose of this Guide remains intact – through it, your municipality communicates information about key recreational opportunities and facilities to enhance your spring and summer experiences. We have lots to do for a municipality of our size – a tribute to the hard work of a small but strong staff team and dedicated, enthusiastic volunteers who make it happen.

If you are continuing an engagement with one of our programs, bravo, and thanks for your company! If you are curious about trying something out, we look forward to your participation!

Your Council welcomes your participation in our community. We’re working on a vision of One North Perth, a vibrant municipality with many smaller communities all sharing a generous spirit and a willingness to take on challenges and have fun. We invite you to be involved with that story! Reach out to us with your comments and ideas by phone, email, or on the web at Your Say North Perth.

Todd Kasenberg Mayor Municipality of North Perth

20 www.northperth.ca | 2020 Spring & Summer Guide | Pool Admission Standards

Pool Admission Standards Admission Standards for Public Pools were developed by the Office of the Chief Coroner to assist lifeguards and assistant lifeguards in maintaining adequate surveillance over the whereabouts and the activities of young bathers while they are inside the pool enclosure. The Ministry of Health and Long-Term Care strongly supports these recommendations for the purposes of preventing injuries and fatalities.

• Children under the age of 10 years who are non-swimmers must be accompanied by a parent or guardian who is at least 12 years of age and responsible for their direct supervision (within arms’ reach). The ratio of non-swimmers to parent or guardian may be a maximum of 4 bathers to one parent or guardian (4:1). The ratio of non-swimmers to parent or guardian may be increased to a maximum of 8 bathers to one parent or guardian (8:1) if lifejackets are worn by all non-swimmers in their charge.

• Children under the age of 10 who are swimmers (able to demonstrate comfort in the water and pass the facility swim test) may be admitted to the swimming pool unaccompanied.

• Children under the age of 6 years may not be admitted to the swimming pool unless they are accompanied by a parent or guardian who is responsible for their direct supervision (within arms’ reach), with a maximum of two children for each parent or guardian.

• Guardians or group leaders are responsible for the children in their care while in the facility and must directly supervise the children at all times. Guardians or group leaders should be swimmers at least 12 years of age.

Recommended Supervision Ratio

Children under age 6

Maximum Two children to one guardian (2:1)

Children aged 6 to 9 who are non-swimmers

Four children to one guardian (4:1)

or

Eight children with lifejackets to one

guardian (8:1)

Children aged 6 to 9 who are swimmers

May be admitted unaccompanied if they pass a facility swim test.

Examples:

• A family with a 1 year old, 3 year old and a 6 year old non-swimmer must have direct supervision from at least 2 parent/guardians

• A family with a 2 year old, 4 year old and a 7 year old swimmer (passed the swim test) must have direct supervision from at least 1 parent/guardian

If you have any questions about the required ratio for your family, please contact the pool and the staff will assist you.
