Town residents can rest assured that our staff have been putting their heads together to set up programs designed to accommodate all of ages and abilities. We are sure you will find something to keep you active but if you don’t see something in our programming that you would like to try, please feel free to let us know. Our “Seniors on a Roll” Program is well under way with programming designed specifically for our older resident population. Continue to watch for even more specific programs, while joining in the fun of Pickle Ball, Nordic Walking, Carpet Bowling and Strength Programs. The Recreation Department will now have an equipment borrowing library, which allows families or individuals to borrow equipment at NO CHARGE from the Department. Anyone wishing to try something new or if you need some additional equipment that we may have, please feel free to call the Nick Smith Centre staff and enquire. As always there will be an array of special events ranging from Minor Hockey Tournaments, to the Optimist Winter Carnival, to the Lion’s Club 70th Anniversary this season. Also, watch for a list of events that are being planned to help kick off Canada’s 150th Anniversary. The pool will open up after our Annual Fall Maintenance Program with an abundance of programs ranging from lessons to fitness programs. You can find all the Registration information here in the Arnprior Life or on the Town’s website. Once the colder weather sets in, staff will be working hard to have the outdoor skating rinks up and running. For information on the status of the rinks, please visit the Town’s website. As always, should you have a program suggestion, please do not hesitate to contact the Recreation Department and we will see what we can do to make it happen. Enjoy your fall and winter, and we sincerely hope that we can be a part of it. Glenn Arthur Director of Recreation Services 2 Mayor’s Message On behalf of Arnprior Council and Staff, it is my great pleasure to present you with the 2016 Fall & Winter Edition of Arnprior Life, which outlines the many programs and events taking place over the upcoming fall and winter. Please take a moment to peruse through this year’s edition to see why Arnprior’s programs and events are second to none. The Arnprior Recreation Department strives to provide exceptional new programing for all ages, while continuing to maintain our most popular long standing programs as well. Make sure to read more about some of our recently added programs, such as youth yoga (pg. 27), the Steve Nash Youth Basketball Program (pg.33) and our Seniors on a Roll Programs (pg.22). There are no shortages of things to do in Arnprior and this fall and winter we will continue to provide residents and welcome visitors with a host of events, such as The Festival of Small Halls which brings big music to little places. Arnprior has been chosen as one of only 24 locations in this year’s festival. For more information see page 34. Also, 2017 will ring in Canada’s 150th Anniversary celebrations and as such, Arnprior will commemorate this historic occasion by partnering with the local community, coordinating 150 events throughout the year. The Town is currently accepting applications for our planned Canada 150th events and subsequently will issue 2017 Passports, which will list all of our planned local events. Passports will be available in December, so please make sure you visit www.arnprior. ca/150events to learn all about it. 2016 and 2017 are years of incredible change, growth and rejuvenation. The Downtown Revitalization Project is well underway and John Street is beginning its transition to the new pedestrian-friendly and enhanced accessible streetscape. This two year project will help transform our Downtown into a destination of choice for residents, visitors and investors alike. The Arnprior Shopping Centre renovation is also well underway and we are all eager to see the Mall’s completion this fall. With the holiday season on the horizon, there is no better way to see all the wonderful changes happening around Arnprior than getting a head start on some holiday shopping at our wonderful local shops and businesses. All businesses continue to remain open during the revitalization efforts and we are all collectively making every effort possible to assist customers in continuing to shop during the construction. For more information on the Downtown Revitalization Project, please visit www.arnprior.ca/dtr or call John Steckly at 613-623-4231. Council and Staff of the Town of Arnprior truly hope that you will take part in the many spectacular events and activities planned for Arnprior in 2017.

We are offering our “Arnprior Gets Active” passes again this year! All students in Grades 5 and 9 will receive a free “Community Access Pass” for access to the Nick Smith Centre for free public and family swimming, jr. shinny, public skating, dodgeball, after-school programs and our “learn to…” programs! Passes will be handed out in all local schools in September 2016 (John XXIII, St. Joseph’s, Walter Zadow, A.J. Charbonneau, McNab and Arnprior District High School). St. Joe’s High School students are also eligible for a pass, but students must contact the Nick Smith Centre to obtain one. A Family Involvement Pass will be available to families of Grade 5 students only. It will allow these families free facility usage for the parents/guardians and the siblings of the student, thereby enabling all families with a child in Grade 5 to participate in the activities with them. This pass is used to promote family time and physical activity together. When using the family pass, the Grade 5 student must be present. Any family member may use the pass to participate in public or family swimming and public skating with the child. We urge parents to come as a family to take full advantage of the pass program. To obtain a Family Involvement Pass, a parent or guardian must contact the Nick Smith Centre. This program is proudly sponsored by the Arnprior Optimists Club. 7 Launched in September 2004, KidSport Renfrew County is a charitable program helping children in our community play sports. Sports are one of the few activities where children have the potential to experience positive physical, mental, emotional and social development all in the same environment. KidSport focuses on sport so that all children have the opportunity to play. We are pleased to join forces with the Canadian Tire Jump Start Program in helping kids participate in organized sports. Both charitable programs provide funds to help offset the costs of registration fees and equipment. KidSport Renfrew County would love to hear from groups, organizations, coaches, teachers or parents who know someone who is experiencing barriers to participating in sport and recreation. Or if you are aware of children who are in need of some form of financial support, please pass along the information. Together we can make a difference in the lives of children and youth in our community. Applications can be picked up at the Nick Smith Centre or by calling 613-623-7301. Renfrew County children between the ages of 3 and 18 years old can apply for up to $250 per season. The Adjudication Committee meets throughout the year to disburse funds for each season’s activities. Grant Eligibility: • • • • Preference is given to athletes being introduced to sport for the first time. Grants are for youth 18 years and under. Grants are available to residents of Renfrew County.

The organization delivers a number of youth programs for all ages and abilities including: • Non-Competitive • Pre-Competitive • Competitive Members enjoy an encouraging environment, exhilarating team atmosphere, and tremendous fitness and character-building opportunities. Non-Competitive Program: The non-competitive program is ideal for younger swimmers (age 7+) that are interested in trying competitive swimming. It is the ideal next step for those swimmers that have graduated from the Swim Plus program. Swimmers should be strong enough to swim one length of the pool without stopping. The focus of this program is on the Fundamentals phase of the Long Term Swimmer Development (LTSD) model for all four strokes, starts and turns. Swimmers in the non-competitive group can participate in 1 sanctioned swim meet during the season. This program runs from October to June. Practices are twice a week for 50 minutes (Monday/Wednesday or Tuesday/Thursday) at either 3:304:20pm or 4:30-5:20pm. Pre-Competitive Program: The pre-competitive program is the ideal next step for swimmers from the Non-Competitive program or for older swimmers (age 9+) that have good fundamentals in at least 3 strokes. This program continues to build on swimmer Fundamentals and introduces swimmers to the Learn-to-Train phase of the LTSD model. Team participation and good sportsmanship are developed. Swimmers in the pre-competitive group can participate in 1 sanctioned swim meet during the season. This program runs from October to June. Practices are twice a week for 80 minutes (Monday/Wednesday or Tuesday/Thursday) from 4:00-5:20. Competitive Program: The competitive program introduces swimmers to the Train-to-Train and the Train-to-Compete phases of the Swim Canada LTSD model. While becoming more efficient in the water, there is more endurance focus and swimmers in this group are required to swim four or five practices (8+ hours) per week. Setting goals and personal best times comes into focus. The competitive group participates in up to 8 sanctioned swim meets during the season, this includes both local and out-of-town swim meets. This program runs from early October to June. Practices are (Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday, and Thursday) from 3:30 - 5:20pm, and Sundays 7:309:00am. For more information please check out www.arnpriorbluefish.net. Costs for the programs can be found under Forms and Policies on the website.

Our members range in age from in their 20s all the way up to into their 70s. The range of abilities is just as large, from just starting to swim laps up to athletes competing in National (and even International) masters meets or Ironman triathlons. NCCP certified Head Coach, Shawn Moffatt, delivers workouts geared towards improving stroke technique and efficiency, including starts and turns of all 4 competitive strokes (freestyle, backstroke, breaststroke and butterfly). Improving these skills is essential for those wishing to swim competitively but can also be beneficial for those training for triathlons or just wanting to improve their fitness. The workouts can easily be customized to suit individual goals. Many club members choose to compete in swim meets or triathlons throughout the year to display their skills. However, competing is completely optional and should not discourage new members from joining. For those wishing to compete in Sanctioned Masters Swim meets, there is a requirement to join Master Swimming Canada ($35/year) The club is open to anyone over the age of 18 who is interested in swimming laps and improving their strokes, turns and starts. Please note that this is not a learn to swim program and it is advised that swimmers can comfortably swim at least 2 laps of the pool without stopping. There is also plenty of scope for the more social swimmer, with social events throughout the year and breakfast after the Saturday morning swims. The yearly membership fee is for 11 months (pool closed for maintenance in September).

The hydrant flush will clean the distribution system by flushing any standing red water. The valve maintenance program is designed to clean and exercise the valves and by doing so will extend their life as well as determine whether the valves are operable. The work is planned for the weeks of September 12th to November 18th and will be completed in the shortest period of time possible. This procedure is routine but it may result in some temporary inconveniences such as poor water pressure or “red” water. Do not be alarmed. What you should know: • If coloured water is detected, please open your COLD water taps to clear the system. • The coloured water is not hazardous to health. • This situation is temporary and should not last any longer than two hours at most. For more information please contact David Armstrong, Public Works Supervisor at 613-623-4231 ext. 1833 Lock It or Lose It! A professional can steal your vehicle in just 30 seconds – without the key. The Ontario Association of Chiefs of Police (OACP) and Insurance Bureau of Canada (IBC) are encouraging citizens to “Lock It or Lose It.” The goal of the proactive crime prevention program is to encourage drivers to take a few simple precautions that will protect their vehicles from theft. An unlocked door or an open window is an invitation to thieves. The goal of the “Lock It or Lose It” program vehicle security audit reminds drivers to always: • Roll up their vehicles’ windows; • Keep valuables out of sight; • Lock their doors; and • Pocket their keys. In partnership with IBC, vehicles parked in a variety of locations are checked to confirm that they are locked and that no valuables have been left in plain view. A small notice is placed on every vehicle checked indicating what safety precautions were neglected and offering some simple prevention tips for drivers to protect their vehicles against theft. The notice also congratulates drivers who have ensured that their vehicle is secure, with valuables out of plain sight. Auto theft costs Canadians more than $1 billion every year. About half of all stolen vehicles are used to commit another crime or are driven – often recklessly – for simple purposes of transportation (this is called ‘destination theft’). In these cases, the thieves are usually amateurs who take advantage of owner negligence by grabbing the first vehicle they can find that’s been left unsecured. In the other half of cases, vehicles are stolen by professional thieves involved in organized crime rings. The key to protecting your vehicle is in your hands. Keep yourself from becoming an easy target by properly securing your vehicle. Remember: Lock It or Lose It!

Cemeteries Albert Street Cemetery and Malloch Road Cemetery (Usborne Street) The Town of Arnprior strives to provide a cherished public space, created out of devotion, pride and remembrance at its two municipal cemeteries. We request that family members, visitors and historians please abide by the following rules: • Flower beds are only permitted on plots with a monument with the beds being no wider than eight (8) inches out from the front of the monument. The exception being the cremation section, where no flowerbeds are allowed. • Cut flowers may be removed at the discretion of the caretaker. • Dogs must be kept on a leash and the dog owner is responsible for cleaning up after their animals. • The Town is not responsible for loss of or damage to any articles left upon any lot or grave. • Please help in maintaining an unobstructed, clean, litter-free public space. For details regarding the purchase of plots, burial or general information, please feel free to contact the Town of Arnprior or visit the ‘Town’ section of www.arnprior.ca. Columbaria Information The growing popularity of cremation as a method of disposition has generated a demand for an attractive alternative of memorialization. One such alternative is a columbarium. A columbarium is a freestanding, above-ground structure with recesses in the walls (to house urns) for the perpetual care of cremated remains. These recesses in the walls are referred to as “niches” and are large enough in size to accommodate two standard cremation urns. Each niche is adorned with an individually inscribed granite panel to memorialize your loved one(s). The Town of Arnprior has installed two Forty-eight Niche Columbaria in the Albert Street Cemetery, and is offering residents and non-residents the opportunity for burial after cremation. Those interested in receiving more information or if you would like to purchase a niche, please contact the Town of Arnprior at 613-623-4231 ext. 1818 or 1819. 49 Arnprior Fire Department Contact Numbers EMERGENCY 9 – 1 – 1 Back-up fire emergency number 613-623-4141 Non - Emergency Number: 613-623-4231 option 2 Clocks fall back on Sunday November 6th at 2:00 am When you change you clock, check and test your smoke and carbon monoxide alarms. Siren Sounds On Saturday November 5th at 6 p.m. the siren at the Arnprior fire station will be sounded as a reminder to check & test your smoke and carbon monoxide alarms. Remember to change their batteries too. Please Help Us Help You! Winter Fire Hydrant Maintenance In an emergency, fire hydrants need to be visible and accessible. Despite the best efforts of Town staff, snowfall may still leave some fire hydrants obstructed. The Arnprior Fire Department would like to remind you that a clearly visible, accessible fire hydrant could save your home - or even your life. If a fire hydrant is obstructed or buried in snow, firefighters can lose valuable time gaining use of a hydrant. You can help! If you feel up to it, you could perform a valuable public service and protect yourself, your family and your neighbours by helping maintain fire hydrants clear of snow Helpful Tips • Never place snow around a fire hydrant; • If helping to clear snow, about 3 feet around the hydrant is needed so firefighters have enough room to connect the fire hose. 50 Arnprior Fire Department Fire Prevention Week - October 9 - 15, 2016 • Smoke alarms should be replaced every 10 years. • Make sure you know how old all the smoke alarms are in your home. • To find out how old a smoke alarm is, look at the date of manufacture on the back of the alarm; the alarm should be replaced 10 years from that date. For further Fire Prevention information and events, check the fire department webpage at www.arnprior.ca/arnprior-fire-department Carbon Monoxide Alarms - Did you Know? • Carbon Monoxide is referred to as “CO”. • CO can only be detected by a working CO alarm. CO is tasteless, odorless and you can’t see it. CO is often referred to as the “silent killer”. • CO alarms are now law in Ontario! If you have an attached garage, a fireplace or a fuel burning appliance, you require a CO alarm. • If a CO alarm is required, it shall be located outside the sleeping area. • You can contact your local fire department at their administration number if you have any non-emergency inquiries regarding CO legislation and requirements. • CO alarms have a recommended replacement date. Ensure you follow the manufacturer’s recommendations for your brand of alarm (generally between 5-7 years). • Many brands of CO alarms which are hard wired or plug into an electrical receptacle may also have a battery back-up. Ensure to change the battery regularly. • Many CO alarms provide short intermittent beeps for maintenance purposes (example: low battery). A steady and continuous sounding alarm is an indicator of CO being detected. Ensure you read your manufacturer’s instructions and understand your CO alarm. • Landlords are required to supply, test and maintain records for CO alarms. 51 Arnprior Fire Department Emergency Management - Have an emergency kit at home It's your responsibility to start gathering supplies and start thinking about what your family will need for at least 72 hours in an emergency.

Check these 10 tips off your list and get ahead of the winter freeze. r Our furnace has been inspected and serviced by a qualified professional during the last 12 months. (A furnace should be serviced at least once a year.) r Our chimneys and vents have been cleaned and inspected by a qualified professional. I have checked for creosote built-up. (Not cleaning your chimney is the leading cause of chimney fires from built up creosote. This service needs to be done at least once a year.) r Our wood for our fireplace or wood stove is dry, seasoned wood. r Our fireplace screen is metal or heat-tempered glass, in good condition and secure in its position in front of the fireplace. r We have a covered metal container ready to use to dispose cooled ashes. (The ash container should be kept at least 10 feet from the home and any nearby buildings.) r Our children know to stay at least 3 feet away from the fireplace, wood/pellet stove, oil stove or other space heaters. r Our portable space heaters have an automatic shut-off. r Our portable space heaters will be plugged directly into an outlet (not an extension cord) and placed at least three feet from anything that can burn; like bedding, paper, walls, and even people. (Place notes throughout your home to remind you to turn off portable heaters when you leave a room or go to bed.) r We have tested our smoke alarms and made sure they are working. (You need smoke alarms on every level of the home, inside each sleeping room and outside each separate sleeping area. For the best protection, the smoke alarms should be interconnected so when one sounds, they all sound.) r We have tested our carbon monoxide alarms and made sure they are working. (Carbon monoxide alarms should be located outside each sleeping area and on every level of the home.)

Greater Arnprior Seniors Council The Council of the Town of Arnprior participated in the development of an Age Friendly Community (AFC) Plan in March of 2016. All the feedback and participation during the public consultation period was greatly appreciated and the result is a robust and sustainable set of strategies. Now it’s time to put the Plan into Action. Successful implementation of the Plan’s strategies requires participation from various community entities. In order to accomplish this, the “Greater Arnprior Seniors Council (GASC)” has been created to take over this important initiative. The Council is made up of five (5) senior citizen members, as well as representatives from community stakeholders, such as the Town of Arnprior, Township of McNab/Braeside, Arnprior Regional Health, Arnprior-Braeside-McNab Seniors at Home Program. The GASC is tasked with the ongoing implementation and monitoring of the goals and objectives of the Age Friendly Community Plan. More information on the Age Friendly Community Plan process, including a digital as well as copy of the Age Friendly Community Plan can be found on the Town’s website at www.arnprior.ca/afcp/ Arnprior & McNab/Braeside Archives Whether you’re doing historical research on the lumbering era or researching your family tree, the Arnprior & McNab/Braeside Archives welcomes you!
