Important Updates

Things will look a lot different at Brennan Park Recreation Centre as a new phase of construction is now underway. This is the second of several phases of construction planned over the next two years to retrofit the building. Signage has been installed to help guide patrons through the facility and customer service staff are at their stations to help smooth your way.

How Recreation Supports Your Child

  • Engaging the participant in a conversation.

  • Asking open ended question to discover how they are feeling.

  • Determining why they are feeling the way they are.

  • Brainstorming solutions together.

  • Incorporating their ideas. 

  • Creating a plan.

You know your child best. Our team may connect with you to discuss your child’s experience when:

·         We would like information on how to best support your child’s specific needs

·         Your child has had repeated challenging moments

·         Disrespectful behavior has affected the experience of others

·         Safety has become a concern

·         Inappropriate language has been directed at others

Please note:
Staff are unable to provide personal care such assistance with toileting, administering medication or changing.

In the event the leadership team feels a participant is not able to be successful after implementing support strategies, they may be removed from the programs.

Examples include:

  • not following camp rules and guidelines.
  • running away from the group.
  • inappropriate language.
  • physical violence.
  • being disrespectful of others.
