Share the joyof swimming!

An introductory class for babies and their parent or caregiver. To enter this level, babies must be able to hold their head up. The goal of this orientation to water class is to experience buoyancy, movement, entries, and songs and play in the water.

For toddlers or older babies with a parent or caregiver. Toddlers build confidence while enjoying the water through games, songs and active water play.

A transitional level for preschoolers and their parents. Parents can gradually transfer the preschoolers to the care of the Instructor, or, for children 3-5 years old who have not previously taken swimming lessons, Sea Turtle is where they will enter the program. This level develops skills in swimming, glides, and floating and builds awareness of deep water and safe entries.

Preschoolers actively learn new swimming skills including assisted floats and glides through games and songs. The fun includes learning to jump into chest deep water.

Assisted by an Instructor, preschoolers work on stroke and skills progressions. Learning also focuses on good judgement in, on and around the water, and entries and floats in deep water.

Preschoolers start independent glides and kicking in deep water. Endurance is built through increasing distance for front and back swims. Swimmers learn about the dolphin kick and try synchro skills in the water.

In Whale, children will learn to swim independently and participate in team games. Preschoolers will increase their distance and improve skills in front and back swims. Swimmers also learn about throwing assists to help another person in the water.

LEVEL 10 Further refinement of strokes, with an introduction to butterfly and scissor kick as a warm-up/cool down stroke for fitness. Children learn about sun safety, rescue of others from the ice, and head-first and feet-first surface dives. Endurance is built using dolphin kick and butterfly drills and a 500-metre swim.

Level 8 provides an introduction to the breaststroke, foot first surface dives, and rescue entries. Children learn about the dangers of open water, hypothermia, and the performance of rescue breathing on children and adults. Endurance is built on the dolphin kick and 300-metre swim.

Level 7 continues to build skills and endurance for front crawl, back crawl and elementary back stroke and introduces whip kick on the front. Children learn about airway and breathing obstructions, and participate in timed treading water for increasing endurance. Endurance is built through timed treading water and a 150-metre swim.

Front and back crawl continue to be refined as the elementary backstroke is newly introduced. Children are also introduced to safety on ice, elementary rescue of others with throwing assists, treading water and the front dive. Endurance is built through a 75-metre swim.

Back crawl is introduced, along with sculling skills and whip kick on the back. Children try stride dives receive an introduction to safe boating skills. Endurance is developed through dolphin kick and a 50-metre swim.

The front crawl, back glide and shoulder roll for back crawl are further developed. Children work on kneeling dives, surface support and developing a greater sense of self-safety by understanding their own limits. Endurance is built through a 25-metre swim.

This level provides an introduction to front crawl as well the foundation for making wise choices on where and when to swim. Diving is introduced and children will work on floats and changing direction. Endurance is achieved by building strength in flutter kick and a 15-metre swim.

This level helps the child build skills in front and back swims. Children are introduced to deep water activities and proper use of a Personal Flotation Device (PFD). Endurance is built on flutter kicking with assisted glides.

This is an entry level for children ready to move in shallow water. This level provides an orientation to the water and the pool area and introduces floats and glides with kicks. Children build their endurance by improving distance.

Front crawl, back crawl, elementary backstroke and breaststroke continue to be refined. In this level children are encouraged to try combining different strokes and kicks for fitness. They also work on head-first surface dives and standing dives and learn about wise choices, peer influences, and self-rescue from ice. Endurance is built through a 400-metre swim.

ASSESSMENT & TAXATION

ATTENTION PROPERTY OWNERS

Assessment notices were mailed to all property owners on January 31, 2011. The assessed value will reflect the value of your property based on July 1, 2010 economic conditions, and its physical condition and characteristics as of December 31, 2010. The property assessment notices are mailed in advance of the property tax notices, to allow owners the opportunity to review their assessments and raise any concerns they may have about their assessed value before taxes are calculated.

How do I know if my assessment is correct?You are encouraged to review your assessment during the 60 day review period which ends on April 1, 2011. First, read your Assessment Notice carefully. Is your name, address and school support correct? Check the property classification (residential, farmland, non- residential). Does it correctly describe your property? Next, compare your assessment to the assessments of other properties similar in size, age, quality, condition and location by examining the Assessment Roll, available at www.airdrie.ca/airdriemap. If, after having compared your new assessment to the 2010 market value conditions and to the assessment of similar neighboring properties, you have questions or concerns about the information on your notice; contact an assessor at (403) 948-8855.

How is market value assessment determined?Market value means the amount a property might be worth if it is sold. The City of Airdrie values property based on provincial legislation and regulations. The purpose of the assessment is not to reflect a single sale price, but to assess all properties at typical market value on the same valuation date. During the past year residential and non-residential properties have overall

experienced a slight decrease in market value. It is important to realize that as assessment values increase or decrease, the tax rates will change accordingly.

Taxation notices will be mailed on May 27, 2011. Property taxes are due June 30, 2011. (This deadline does not apply to the Monthly Tax Payment Plan customers). Taxes are for the January to December 2011 time frame. It is important that taxes are paid by the due date or they will be subject to a 5% penalty on July 6, 2011 and a further 9% penalty on August 2, 2011.

Pay your taxes monthlyIf you would like to enroll in the Monthly Tax Payment Plan, please visit the City of Airdrie website at www.airdrie.ca/taxation/mtpp_index.cfm to fill out an application form or call the Taxation Department at (403) 948-8856.

Attention owners of new constructionIf your property is newly constructed, and was completed and/or occupied in 2011 you will also be receiving a Supplementary Assessment and Tax Notice. The Supplementary Assessment Notice will be mailed to you either July 29, 2011 or October 28, 2011, depending on your construction completion date. The payment due date for the notice will either be August 31, 2011 or November 30, 2011 (respectively) and taxes will be pro-rated based on the date of completion or occupancy.

What is FCSS?The Airdrie Family and Community Support Services Program is an 80-20 cost sharing between the Province of Alberta and the City of Airdrie.

What does it do?Airdrie FCSS provides funding supports to local volunteer-based not-for-profit agencies to deliver preventive social programs in our community.

What are preventive social programs?Preventive social programs are activities and services that use proactive, intentional and assertive strategies to help individuals, families and the community become prepared and resistant to crisis.

How much does the City of Airdrie contribute into preventive social programs?Generally, the City of Airdrie contributes more than its 20% contribution into preventive social programs. This is because the City believes investment in such programs enhances the social well-being of residents.

Which programs are currently funded under Airdrie FCSS?The City funds several not-for-profit agencies that utilize volunteers to provide social supports to residents. Additionally, the City funds youth leadership and mentoring programs, family resources and educational counseling programs.

Where is the application form located?The City no longer posts the FCSS application form on the City website. Prior to completing the application form, the City requires prospective applicants to submit a letter of intent outlining how the program aligns with the FCSS mandate of prevention and how the program will impact the community.

Many of us have been guilty of occasionally multi-tasking behind the wheel. Grabbing a

snack, taking a call, checking our appearance in the mirror, or setting the GPS. It may only be a couple of seconds that your eyes are off the road, but it can have disastrous consequences.

Young people are the most likely demographic to get into an accident while driving. Today, it is even easier to get distracted while at the wheel, increasing the risks of accident.

What are driving distractions?

Driving distractions take your attention away from driving, make you less aware of what is happening on the road around you and slow your reaction time.

What’s another second?

What’s the harm in daydreaming for 2 seconds? During the 2 seconds you took your eyes off the road, you’ve travelled 30 metres at a low speed of 50km/h.

What are the different types of distractions?

• Physical: Activities that cause you to remove your hands from the wheel.

• Cognitive: Activities that take your mind away from the road, such as carrying on a conversation with your passengers, talking on a cell phone, re-living an argument in your mind or even daydreaming.

• Combination: Activities that take your hands, eyes and mind off the road, such as reading a map or changing CD’s.

What can you do to avoid driving distractions?

If you are a driver:

• focus on your driving;• never talk or text on your cell phone while driving;• before you drive, turn off your phone or set the

ringer to “mute”, and put your phone away. Use voice mail and call back later;

• use a navigation system responsibly;• do not radio/CD channel surf, eat, or comb your

hair while driving;• always follow the driving laws related to distraction

where you drive;• set a good example for your friends & family; and• drive defensively. Even if you are not distracted,

others may be.

If you are a passenger:

• offer to handle any calls; and• help your driver avoid driving distractions.

References: Canadian Automobile Association, 2011 Traffic Injury Research Foundation, Youth and Road Crashes: Magnitude, Characteristics and Trends, 2008 Transport Canada, 2011

The Airdrie RCMP would like to encourage parents to discuss the importance of avoiding driving distractions with their children – it could save a life.

SuMMeR SaFeTY TIPS

Avoiding Springtime Flooding in your Home: Care of your eaves and downspouts

The purpose of the eaves trough, or gutter, is to direct rainwater off your roof and away from your home. This helps to prevent standing water around your home, and minimizes the amount of damage that your home will suffer from water during the spring thaw and rainy season. The location of downpipes is critical to avoid leaking basements, flooding and standing water all of which are inconvenient at best in the short term but could also over the long term, lead to structural damage. Consider the following to reduce your chance of having drainage issues• A downpipe should never be installed in an area that allows the

water to drain back to the house. If it pools around the home consider a longer extension pipe at the bottom to get the water away from the house.

• A downpipe that drains onto sidewalks can cause them to become icy in the winter or create trip hazards. Always position your downspout away from any sidewalks or walkways.

• If the property allows, try to keep downpipes away from window wells.

As well as proper downspout locations, cleaning your eaves are also important to home maintenance and safety. Leaves, water and dirt are the main factors that can be trapped in metal and wood gutters and eaves troughs. Maintaining clean eaves troughs and gutters will help keep your home in top condition, so it reaches the lifespan of your investment.

RV/Camping Propane SafetyMany recreational vehicles (RV’s) are equipped with propane-fuelled appliances. Propane appliances can also be useful for tent camping. Follow these tips to have a safe vacation.General safety tips• Ensure that propane appliances are certified by a testing agency,

such as Canadian Standards Association (CSA), Intertek Testing Services (ITS), or Underwriter’s Laboratories (ULC). Certified appliances will be marked with the symbol of the testing agency.

• Consult and follow manufacturer’s instructions for operating your appliance.

• Propane appliances may produce carbon monoxide if they are not operated properly. Ensure there is a supply of fresh air when operating a propane appliance.

• Never use unventilated appliances such as barbeques, portable space heaters, or torches inside an RV, tent, camper or any enclosed space.

• Use appliances properly. Never use cooking appliances for heating purposes.

• Have propane appliances, including those in RVs, checked and serviced at least once a year by the dealer or a qualified gasfitter.

• Do not use your appliances before the annual inspection. Insects or rodents may damage the appliance when it is not in use.

Filling UpWhen filling a propane cylinder mounted on an RV, be sure to:• Turn the ignition off.• Have all passengers leave the RV.• Ensure that there are no sources of ignition within 3 metres (10

feet). Never smoke near a propane filling station.• Ensure all valves are closed and caps are replaced after filling.Transporting propane• Ensure propane cylinders are secured upright and protected

from impact.• Cylinders should not be mounted on the back of a vehicle

unless there is substantial protection.• Cylinders should never be mounted on the roof of a vehicle.• Transport propane cylinders in a well-ventilated place, never

inside an RV or vehicle.



Your Community88

RV Appliances

• Ensure appliances are approved for use in an RV and certified by a recognized testing agency.

• Ensure the flame on appliances is clear blue with occasional yellow tips. A mostly yellow flame is a warning sign of incomplete combustion and possible carbon monoxide presence.

• Consider installing a carbon monoxide detector inside your recreational vehicle. Look for an alternating current model that is also available in a 12-volt version.

BBQ SafetyFollow these safety tips for propane and natural gas barbeques to ensure a safe and enjoyable barbequing season.

Getting Started• When buying a barbeque, choose one that bears the CSA, ITS

or ULC label. Follow manufacturer’s instructions and when necessary, have it repaired by a trained professional.

• Propane cylinders must be inspected and re-certified every 10 years. Check your propane cylinder for date of manufacture.

• Place your barbeque outside, on level ground, at least one metre (three feet) away from the house and away from wind and combustible materials.

• Barbeques should be inspected and cleaned at least once each year, preferable prior to the first use.

• Make sure burners are in good condition. Burners that are rusted or damaged should be replaced.

• Check the flexible hose. If you find cracks or damage replace the hose before using the barbeque.

• Clean the tubes underneath the burner – insects and debris can accumulate inside these tubes.

• If your barbeque connection area has an “o” ring, check it every time you connect the cylinder. Replace missing, deformed, cracked or damaged “o” rings.

Checking for leaksAfter connecting a propane cylinder, check for leaks using a solution of equal parts soap and water.• With the appliance turned off, brush the solution over all

connections – open the cylinder valve and bubbles will form when there is a leak.

• If you find a leak, close the cylinder valve and contact a certified gasfitter. After repairs are completed, repeat the leak test until there are no leaks.

Using your barbeque• To prevent excessive gas build-up, when using a match, always

light the match before turning on the gas. If the barbeque is equipped with an electronic igniter, follow the directions on the control panel.

• Both propane and natural gas flames should be mostly blue with yellow tips. If the flame is mostly yellow, do not use the barbeque. Contact a qualified gasfitter.

• Prevent grease from dripping onto the hoses or cylinder. Grease build-up is a fire hazard.

• Never store extra propane cylinders under or near your barbeque. Excess heat may overpressure the cylinder and cause it to release propane from the cylinder relief valve.

• Make sure children stay away from the barbeque.• Never use a barbeque indoors; doing so causes a build-up of

poisonous carbon monoxide gas.• After barbequing, make sure the barbeque is turned off and the

burner flames are out. Also make sure the gas supply is turned off and the lid is closed.

Propane SafetyPropane is a fuel that is stored as a liquid and used as a gas. Propane is often used to fuel barbeques, appliances in recreational vehicles (RVs), and other portable equipment. Used properly, propane is a safe and convenient fuel. Follow these tips to stay safe.

Basics• Never smoke while handling propane.• Ensure that propane appliances are certified by a testing agency,

such as the Canadian Standards Association (CSA), Intertek Testing Services (ITS) or Underwriter’s Laboratories (ULC). Certified appliances will be marked with the symbol of the testing agency.

• Only a qualified gasfitter or installer should install, service, repair or replace propane equipment.

Filling propane cylinders• Only a certified person may fill a propane cylinder.• Never ask to have cylinder filled to more than 80 per cent of its

capacity. Propane needs room to expand.• Propane cylinders must be inspected and re-certified every 10

years. Do not attempt to fill a cylinder that is more than 10 years old unless it has been inspected.

• Do not attempt to fill a cylinder that is damaged or corroded.Transporting and storing propane cylinders• Keep propane cylinders in a secure, upright position for both

transport and storage.• Transport cylinders in a well-ventilated space. If transporting

cylinders in the trunk of a vehicle prop the trunk open. Never transport a propane cylinder in the passenger compartment of a vehicle.

• Store propane cylinders outside. Never store them in a heated garage, basement, or any occupied space.

• Keep cylinders at least three metres (10 feet) away from any

open flame or source of ignition.• Make sure all cylinders are properly capped, plugged or sealed.• Empty cylinders should be stored the same way as filled

cylinders.• Return old or damaged cylinders to a propane supplier for

disposal.Checking for leaksAfter connecting a propane cylinder to an appliance, check for leaks using a 50% liquid soap and 50% water solution.• With the appliance turned off and the cylinder valve open,

brush the solution over all connections —bubbles will form if there is a leak

• If you find a leak, close the cylinder valve and contact a certified gasfitter. After repairs are completed, repeat the leak test until there are no leaks.

If you suspect a leak• Leave the area immediately

and remove any possible sources of ignition, including cigarettes.

• Do not turn lights or electrical appliances on or off and do not use the telephone.

• If possible, shut off the propane supply and leave the doors and windows open.

• Call the fire department from a neighbour’s house.

Integrated Pest Management or IPM

The City of Airdrie has approximately 600 acres of park space, varying from athletic fields, and community park spaces to natural areas along Nose Creek. Care for these extensive areas require an all encompassing Integrated Pest Management Plan.

The Integrated Pest Management Plan or IPM Plan is the process to suppress pests within tolerable levels using environmentally sound techniques to sustain vibrant and healthy landscapes.

Major elements of the IPM Plan are:

1. Identify – determine the host plant and pests to learn about their lifecycle

2. Monitor – populations of pest and beneficial organisms

3. Decision – determine the potential for damage

4. Action – apply strategies which will be most beneficial; environmentally and effectiveness

5. Follow – evaluate the effects and efficiency of action.

The complete IPM plan can be found on the City of Airdrie website.

Weed Control on Private PropertyThe Parks Department is responsible for all weed inquiries on private property.

All weed inquiries are followed up by a site inspection by the City Weed Inspector. If noxious or restricted weeds are found, a notice is sent to the property owner. The timeline for clean-up is generally two weeks, this is at the discretion of the Weed Inspector. If the property owner does not comply with the notice, a third party contractor is sent in to clean-up the weeds.

Property owners are responsible for vacant lots, as well as weed control in alleyways along property lines.

Descriptions of noxious and restricted weeds can be found on the City website or at www.invasiveplants.ab.ca.

Contact the Parks Department for any weed inquiries.

The City of Airdrie Parks Department currently main-tains and operates 83 irrigation systems throughout the City, and more systems are being added every year. The irrigation season stretches from start-up in May to winterization in September-October.

In order to water with the greatest efficiency possible, the majority of the City’s irrigation systems utilize

central irrigation control systems and climate based scheduling. Using climate data such as temperature, relative humidity, solar radiation, wind speed and rainfall, the central control system automatically cal-culates and tracks the moisture level present in the ground. If these moisture levels get too low, the sys-tem automatically activates the sprinklers to replenish the soil moisture. Here’s how it works:

B.

C.

D.

A.

A. The City of Airdrie’s weather station collects accu-rate real-time climate data and sends it via phone line to the central computer.

B. The central computer calculates how much mois-ture has been lost from the soil through evapo-transpiration, calculates station runtimes, and sends them to a central controller.

C. The central controller activates sprinklers in parks throughout the city by radio control. Only the amount of moisture that has evaporated is re-placed, eliminating waste.

D. Flow sensors report back flow data, allowing the irrigation technician to make sure that everything is working properly. Also, in the event of a major leak, the flow sensor can automatically shut the

system down and isolate the problem. An alarm is then sent back to the central computer so that maintenance can be scheduled.

The City of Airdrie Irrigation Crew faces many maintenance challenges every year, including broken pipes, malfunctioning valves, worn out sprinkler heads, and vandalism. Even with regular testing and central control diagnostics, these problems can often go undetected until the grass is patchy and brown. From this point it can take up to 3 weeks to get the grass green again, once repairs have been made. If you see any damaged sprinkler heads or other irrigation system malfunctions, please report them to the Parks Department at 403-948-8400 or [email protected], so they can be repaired as soon as possible.

THE RIGHT TREE FOR THE RIGHT SPACEOne of the most important aspects of planning your yard is to consider the right tree for the right location. If you plant a tree that is suited for the existing conditions you will end up with a healthy and more vigorous plant which will require less maintenance over time. It is also very important to consider the amount of space you have to work with and how big your tree will become. Remember when you plant a tree it may not reach its mature potential for 30-40+ years. Below are some great examples of trees that are well suited to our smaller modern yards, and others if you have more space. High headed canopy trees – These trees will not take up much space in your actual yard, but ensure they will not interfere with rooflines, or overhead power lines. They will also provide excellent shade in the summer while letting sunshine through in the winter.• Brandon Elm – relatively quick growing, vase shaped

canopy• Bur Oak – slower growing, long lived, prairie hardy,

interesting foliage and bark• Green Ash – pollution tolerant, last to leaf out in spring• Silver Maple – rich moist soil, full sun

Small accent trees • Columnar Mountain Ash – White flowers, red berries,

orange/red fall colour, and smooth orange-brown bark. Requires good drainage. 4m wide & 6m tall.

• Amur Maple – reddish tinge on leaves and fruit, great orange/red fall colour. Requires full sun (4-5m tall)

• Ohio Buckeye – slow growing, dense, round, low headed, large flowers, and ‘tropical’ looking foliage (6-7 m tall)

• Snowbird Hawthorne – Showy white flowers in spring, 3-4 m tall

Trees for wet sites • Paper or Fountain Birch – Attractive white bark,

yellow fall colour (more columnar cultivars exist such as ‘Chickadee”

• Laurel leaf or Golden Willow – Glossy thin leaves, better suited for large sites 6m wide, 12m tall

Trees for dry sites

• Russian Olive – Fragrant yellow flowers, fine silver foliage, 4-5 m tall

• Colorado Spruce – Drought tolerant once established, 6-7 m wide & 18m tall. Removing lower boughs or ‘legging up’ your spruce will cause significant stress.

Pothole PatchingPothole patching is an ongoing process throughout the year. Hot or cold mix products can be used depending on the time of year and material availability. If you are aware of a pothole requiring maintenance, please call Public Works at 403-948-8415 to report it.

Lane MaintenanceFrom the beginning of May to the end of September, rear lane maintenance is performed based on an annual condition survey and upon requests from the public.

Road RehabilitationFrom the middle of May to the end of September, predetermined city streets and parking lots will be resurfaced, affected residents will be notified in advance. Prior to resurfacing roadways, manholes and water valves are raised or lowered to meet the new elevation of the street surface.Any sidewalk, curb, and gutter repair also takes place during this resurface process. During this time, the appropriate signage and traffic control will be implemented to insure the safety of motorists, cyclists and pedestrians.Any disturbance to lawns will be restored. Please avoid the area under construction.See map on page ??.

Street Sweeping ProgramThe purpose of the City’s spring street sweeping program is to remove material build up from winter road maintenance and construction activity. The program is estimated to last five to eight weeks (weather permitting) from April until early June. Most sweeping on

the arterial streets, boulevards and medians will take place at night, from 10 pm to 6 am when traffic volumes are lowest. Daytime sweeping will primarily occur on collector and residential streets. The first priority is the arterial (major) roadway boulevards/streets (i.e. Main Street and East Lake Blvd.); second priority, median and collector boulevards/streets (i.e. Luxstone Blvd. and Sagewood Blvd.); and third priority, residential streets. For more information and an up to date listing of when street sweeping is scheduled to take place in your neighbourhood, please refer to http://www.airdrie.ca/public_works/street_sweeping.cfm.Conditions around the equipment performing these tasks are extremely dusty with limited visibility for the operators. Motorists should exercise extreme caution when approaching or passing the equipment and are also reminded to watch for temporary “no parking” signs on streets. These signs, placed well in advance of sweeping operations, indicate the hours of prohibited parking. Vehicles parked in violation of the prohibited times may be ticketed and towed at the owners expense.

Small business owners and individuals are asked to refrain from placing advertising signs on boulevards and medians as these impede clean-up activities.

Traffic MarkingsFrom the beginning of May to October, Public Works will apply new and rehabilitate existing traffic markings including crosswalks and directional arrows. The majority of the work is performed during off-peak traffic times to minimize disruption.

Sidewalk And Curb RepairFrom the beginning of May to the end of September, sidewalks and curbs identified in the Public Works annual condition survey are repaired, with affected residents being notified in advance. If you have any sidewalk hazards or

concerns to report, please contact Public Works at 403-948-8415.

For more information on any of the above programs and services, please phone Public Works at 403-948-8415 from 8:30 a.m. to 4:30 p.m. Monday through Friday.
