WELCOME MESSAGE
MESSAGE FROM THE
DIRECTOR OF SPORTS AND RECREATION
After one full year that the Westmount Recreation Centre has been open to the public, as expected,
it has proven to be a true hub for the community to gather and enjoy some of their favourite activities.
The Sports and Recreation department, located within the WRC, is your place to go and register for your
favorite activity. Maybe you have a particular interest in soccer, rugby or Tai Chi. Or maybe you like to play
tennis, skate, or even just lounge around at the pool. Whatever your interest, the staff at the Sports and
Recreation department will be more than happy to get you on your way to fulfilling your physical fitness needs.
In our best efforts to make your activities registration process the best that it can be, you will now be able
to register on-line for almost all of the programmes we offer. Please be sure to read all of the important
information in regard to programme registration in this booklet, as it contains the detailed process to prepare
yourself for on-line registration.
We hope that you will find the right activity or combination of activities in this booklet to help make your
spring and summer a healthy and happy one.
David Lapointe
Director of Sports and Recreation
MESSAGE FROM THE
DIRECTOR OF LIBRARY AND COMMUNITY SERVICES
I
n the interest of providing a greater range of activities and events for people of all ages and tastes, Westmount’s
Community Events Division and the Library have recently joined forces under a single umbrella.
In this spring and summer 2015 guide, you will find a whole new set of cultural and community activities that
we hope will both pique your interest and entice you to be active in the dynamic cultural and community life
in Westmount.
Most of Westmount’s community and cultural events take place in Victoria Hall or in the Library. From
1899 onwards, generations of Westmounters have passed through the doors of these two historic buildings to
attend concerts, exhibitions, workshops and theatre events, not to mention a host of other municipal activities.
In addition, visitors can now enjoy a number of public exhibitions of works by local artists in the Gallery
space, which links Victoria Hall to the Library via the Conservatory.
I would like to take this opportunity to extend a personal invitation to you to visit the Library and discover
– or perhaps rediscover – its myriad services and events, including author readings, story hour, the summer
reading club for children and the lecture series, as well as our free e-Book lending service.
The beauty of our collections and the space that houses them, as well as our quality of service, are part of what
makes this century-old library one of Westmount’s heritage gems.

Make the most of the advantages of the Westmount Library card, free for Westmount residents. With this
card, you can borrow any of the more than 190,000 items in our collection – books, periodicals, films,
compact discs, DVDs – to enjoy in your leisure time or to gather whatever information you need to complete
a school or professional research project. You can even now download e-Books from your favourite reading
chair at any time. Spending time at the Library, whether for pleasure or for research, is always a rewarding
experience.

tD summer reading Club 2015
Join us for the launch of the 2015 TD Summer Reading Club
on Family Day in the Westmount Park on Saturday, May 30th.
This year's theme focuses on PlAy!
For the summer of 2015, we’re encouraging kids to see reading
as play, and discover that the joyful, boundless and carefree
feelings associated with play can just as easily be found in a
great book.
Throughout the summer months, the Children's Department
will host a number of events to inspire kids to read. Ask for
your Summer Reading Club Kit at the Children's Desk this
summer - you'll earn great prizes! (Starts June 8, 2015)
Have you ever dreamt of becoming a princess or an

a mentor or a hero
•
someone who has already achieved
their own dream
How do we chase a dream?
•
set clear goals
•
find someone to guide you
•
overcome obstacles – it may not always be easy
•
don’t be afraid
•
and don’t give up!
use your
imagination!
Be creative and remember,
as always, to write about
the theme in the context of
community. Think of community not just as a town
or neighbourhood, but as
friends, family, teams, clubs,
schools, libraries, work-places,
places of worship, social
movements, people living in
different cultures, or others
sharing our planet! You are
welcome to write a story, poem, or an essay. What you write
is up to you; the aim is to be creative!
deadline: Friday, April 10, 2015.

Peter McEntyre was the mayor of the City of Westmount

think about the idea of community, and to learn more about
their own communities.

VOLUNTEERING IN WESTMOUNT
Over the years, the key to success of Westmount’s culture, sports
and recreation programmes has been the involvement of keen
volunteers from the community. Westmount is indeed fortunate
to have residents who willingly give their time and expertise to
help provide quality programmes and services, but there is never
a shortage of tasks for new volunteers. For example, we are always
looking for:
• coaches for various sports teams;
• referees and time-keepers for sports programmes;
• new members for the Friends of the Library group;
• volunteers to help at various community events such
as Winter Carnival and Family Day.
These are but four of a wide range of activities where volunteers
are essential. If the notion of getting involved in these or other
programmes is of interest to you, we invite you to call the Sports
and Recreation office (514 989-5389), the Westmount Library
(514 989-5429) or the Community Events office (514 989-5226)
for additional information.
COMMUNITY EVENTS ADVISORY
COMMITTEE (CEAC)
Bringing together councillors, staff and residents, Westmount’s
Community Events Advisory Committee is a valuable resource
for city administrators. Its role is to assist in the planning of
community events, taking into account the varied and changing
interests of all sectors of the community. For information about
participating in the CEAC, please contact Councillor Nicole Forbes,
Commissioner of Cultural Events, at 514 989-5076.
PUBLIC LIBRARY COMMITTEE
The Public Library Committee is made up of five residents of
Westmount: three appointed by Council from the community
at large and two councillors. The Committee meets monthly to
discuss Library issues and ensures that the Library maintains its
intellectual freedom and independence. Community members
are appointed for a three-year term. For information about
participating in the Public Library Committee, please contact
Councillor Nicole Forbes, Commissioner of Cultural Events,
at 514 989-5076.
