Welcome to<br />

<strong>Dovercourt</strong>’s<br />

WINTER<br />

<strong>Program</strong>s!<br />

<strong>Dovercourt</strong> Recreation Association (DRA) is a not-for-profit<br />

charitable organization with the mission of building a healthy,<br />

active and engaged community through recreation. While we are<br />

part of the City of Ottawa’s recreation system, DRA is empowered<br />

to choose what programs it runs to meet the community’s needs,<br />

and how those programs are delivered. Our motto is “a community<br />

working for the community, une communauté qui travaille pour la<br />

communauté”. Staff, volunteers, clients, local community groups<br />

and businesses working together…that’s <strong>Dovercourt</strong>!<br />

JEFF<br />

LIEPER<br />

Councillor<br />

for Ottawa’s<br />

Kitchissippi<br />

Ward<br />

Kitchissippi is a vibrant, active and cooperative ward, due in no small<br />

part to the vital role that our community centres play in bringing<br />

together neighbours and neighbourhoods. <strong>Dovercourt</strong> Recreation<br />

Centre continues to be a hub for the community and an important<br />

space for building connections and having those meaningful<br />

interactions that guide and shape our exciting ward. The strength of<br />

Kitchissippi can be found in our communities.<br />

As councillor for Kitchissippi I am very proud of the role that<br />

<strong>Dovercourt</strong> Recreation Association serves in our ward and of<br />

the unique relationship that it represents between the city and<br />

community.<br />

Le quartier Kitchissippi est un quartier actif et dynamique, où les gens<br />

collaborent, et ce, en bonne partie grâce au rôle vital que jouent nos<br />

centres communautaires dans le rapprochement entre les voisins et<br />

les voisinages. Le Centre récréatif <strong>Dovercourt</strong> demeure un carrefour<br />

communautaire et un lieu important pour ce qui est de nouer des<br />

liens et de susciter des interactions significatives qui guident et<br />

façonnent notre passionnant quartier. Ce sont nos communautés qui<br />

font la force de Kitchissippi.<br />

En qualité de conseiller de Kitchissippi, je suis très fier du rôle que le<br />

association récréatif <strong>Dovercourt</strong> joue dans notre quartier et des liens<br />

uniques qu’il contribue à tisser entre la Ville et la communauté.<br />

WHY TAKE SWIMMING<br />

LESSONS AT DOVERCOURT?<br />

<strong>Dovercourt</strong>’s highly-skilled instructors<br />

are able to teach children proper<br />

technique efficiently and effectively,<br />

in accordance with the high standards<br />

of the Lifesaving Society. Our endof-session<br />

Survival Day is unique to<br />

<strong>Dovercourt</strong> and is a fun yet powerful<br />

way to teach children skills that could<br />

save their lives in real-life scenarios.<br />

Our staff undergo extensive training<br />

and regular updates on safety,<br />

rescue situations, changes to current<br />

standards, as well as techniques for<br />

teaching. Many of our senior aquatics<br />

staff are instructor and lifeguard trainers<br />

and are a valuable resource for our<br />

aquatics team. Our leisure pool is<br />

designed to teach swimming, with<br />

unique features like warmer water, a<br />

beach entry, rope swing and shallow &<br />

deep water pods. We are proud of the<br />

quality of our swim lesson program at<br />

Baby wearing<br />

Latin dance<br />

Moms (and dads) get fit with their babies<br />

by learning fun steps to the rhythmic beats<br />

of Salsa and other Latin dances such as<br />

Merengue, Rumba, Cumbia and Bachata.<br />

Baby-Wearing Latin Dance class is open to<br />

everyone. You don’t even need to know<br />

how to dance; the desire to share a special<br />

moment of music and movement with your<br />

child is all you need. Salsa is soothing for a<br />

baby, since the rocking movements bring<br />

them back to the time they spent in utero.<br />

Your baby will love being swayed while in<br />
