GREETINGS FROM THE MAYOR
www.wilmot.ca
Dear Residents:
On behalf of Wilmot Township Council, I am pleased to present you with the 2016 Spring &
Summer Community Recreation Guide. The Community Recreation Guide provides information
on the various recreation, leisure and sports programs, day camps and special events available
in our community. I encourage you to read the book from cover to cover to learn about all that
Wilmot has to offer.
Many of these programs and events are offered by volunteer run organizations.
Without their hard work, dedication and commitment, many of the programs and
opportunities we enjoy would not be offered. To ensure these programs and
events continue to be offered, we encourage you to support these organizations
by becoming a member, joining a committee, or volunteering at one of their
events. I’m sure you will find volunteering to be a very rewarding experience.
Sincerely,
Les Armstrong
Mayor, Wilmot Township
LIVE WELL, PLAY WELL AND BE SAFE!

PROGRAM INFORMATION
WILMOT AQUATIC CENTRE
How to Have Successful
Swimming Lessons
• Visit the pool before swimming lessons start. Give you child
a tour of the facility.
• Have fun and swim with your child during a recreational
swim prior to beginning lessons and practice skills they
already know.
• Set realistic expectations with your child and allow your
child to feel that there are no expectations to receive a
badge. Swimmers often need more than one set of lessons
in order to gain the skills that will allow them to complete a
level.
• Make sure you bring any concerns to the instructor in a
timely manner.
• If your child has a medical concern or a learning challenge,
please speak to the instructor at the first lesson. This will
allow us to help your child get the most out of their lesson.
Lesson Information
• Please return your most recent progress card to your
Swimming Instructor. These will be updated and returned
on the last lesson.
• Participants will be screened on the first lesson to ensure
they are enrolled in the appropriate level. If your child is
enrolled in the wrong level, we will do our best to get your
child into the appropriate level. Unfortunately, we cannot
guarantee that a space in the level you require will be
available during your current lesson time.
• Each swimming level has items that must be completed
correctly a minimum of 3 times on separate lessons in order
for that item to be complete. (According to the standards set
by the Red Cross.) Attendance is important for your child’s
success in the program.
Volunteers Needed!
Volunteers need to be at least 12 years of age and hold your
Swim Kids 10 badge. Volunteers are required to be available
for the entire session. Please complete a volunteer application
form and submit it to the Customer Service Rep at the Wilmot
Recreation Complex. A staff member will contact you to set up
your shift.
Privates and Semi-Privates
You can now Register for Privates on-line recWeb.
(Semi-privates must be done in person)
A private lesson may be what your child needs to complete
a badge or learn a new skill. Please ensure that you speak to
you child’s instructor at the start of the lesson to set-out your
goals and what you are hoping to accomplish for your child.
Minimum age for private lessons is 3 years of age.
20
If you are interested in semi-private lessons, it is your
responsibility to find the other participant. When registering
for semi-private lessons and both parties do not reside in the
same household, registration must be done in person and both
parties must be present at the time of registration. To ensure
quality instructions both participants must be in similar levels.
Semi-private lessons must be registered in person at the Wilmot
Recreation Complex.
www.wilmot.ca
Privates and semi-privates must be pre-paid and are subject to
the absentee policy.
**If all private spots are full and you are still interested in a
lesson, please contact the Wilmot Recreation Centre and we can
add you to waiting list.
Cost: Private lessons age 3 and up
Private Lessons - $19.45 per ½ hour
Semi-private Lessons – $14.05 per person per ½ hour
Lessons are booked in 4 or 5 lesson blocks – you MUST book all
4 or 5 lessons (if you only want one for an assessment please
contact the Wilmot Recreation Complex 519-634-9225)

for their wrist if they wish to perform a swim test to see if
they can swim unaccompanied. Parents or the guardian
must be in the facility until the child has performed the
swim test to ensure the child is able to swim alone.
• If the child passes the swim test, they can have their
wrist band removed and they will be issued a swim
test card. Swim Test cards must be presented to the
customer service representative at each visit.
• If they do not pass the swim test, they will be issued a

Daytime Bootcamp
Hatha Yoga for Teens
Bootcamp is different than a gym or fitness class. We don’t use
any equipment other than your own body. This means most of
the drills are mainly body weight exercises like pushups, squats,
lunges, planks, crunches. We throw some sprinting and jogging
in for good measure and allow ample time for rest and recovery
but make no mistake, you are working hard for the entire hour.
Yes it is intense but the rewards are intense as well. Each hour
will consist of a warm-up, cardio-vascular training, bodyweightstrength training, flexibility and a cool down. Most participants
see and feel a difference by 4-6 weeks into the program. As your
strength increases so to does your ability to recover quicker.
Incremental increases of difficulty will take place and by the
time all of your sessions are finished you will be ready to attack
the next round! This course is available for Spring ONLY.
Room (Summer)
In this is an all level hatha yoga class for participants ages 13
through 18. We will explore basic breathing techniques and
a variety of yoga postures designed to create the connection
between mind and body. This class has a focus on learning
postures correctly to build strength and to create a strong
connection with thy self.

Wilmot Jujitsu - Professional Self Defense
Wilmot Jujitsu abides by the traditional values of Jujitsu, where
the passing of knowledge of the art is of primary importance.
We believe that the true values of Jujitsu transcend its technical
aspects of training; more important are the developments of
mental and moral characteristics such as: Patience, Courage,
Self Control, Self Confidence and Humility.
At Wilmot Jujitsu we practice the following arts: Shinki Ryu
Jujitsu, Genbukan Ninpo (tai jutsu), International Motobu Ha
Shito Ryu Karate, and Hiden Mugai Ryu Iaido.
Shinki Ryu Jujitsu is an effective self defense system and is
the foundation of what is taught. It is designed to enhance
the confidence of the practitioner while training in a friendly,
relaxed and non-competitive atmosphere. Advanced
Practitioners are allowed to train in both Karate/Kobujutsu and
Iaido/Kenjutsu.
Genbukan Ninpo is offered to advanced students of Shinki
Ryu or to students that are specifically interested in Genbukan
Ninpo. Ninpo Bugei focuses on teaching the illumination,
awareness and defense of mind, body and spirit. It is the
essence of traditional Ninjutsu techniques. This is restricted to
adult students ages 14 and up.
Wilmot Jujitsu teaches young children (ages 5-9),
youth (ages 9-13) and adults (ages 14 and up).

Independent staff
Testimony of a teenager
who accuses her former
male teacher of touching
her inappropriately is “inherently implausible” because she “lied repeatedly,”
according to his defence
lawyer.
Final submissions inside
a Kitchener courtroom on
Friday concluded the twoday trial of Ian Sommer, a
Waterloo Region District
School Board teacher accused of inappropriately
touching a young female
student back in 2013.
The teen, whose identity is being protected by
a publication ban, initially
told her mother that Sommer made her uncomfortable by putting his arm on
her during an after-class
meeting about a school
project at a Wilmot school.
Sommer was placed on
home duty before returning to school several days
later. He apologized to the
student in front of school
administration and continued to teach the student for
the remainder of the school
year.
Almost 17 months later,
the student told staff at a
summer camp that the incident also involved inappropriate touching of her
breast and stomach area.
When police were contacted, she told them it
was an isolated incident.
Months later, though, she
changed her account to include a second occurrence.
During cross-examination on Nov. 12, the complainant told the court that

In a capitalist society where the

to grow, a regional crusade to get
more employers to pay workers a
living wage is gaining steam, albeit
incrementally.
Living wage is not the same as
minimum wage, which recently rose
to $11.25 in Ontario and, according
to a study by the Canadian Centre
for Policy Alternatives, still leaves the
average worker 20 per cent below the
