FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS Howmuch does it cost to rent a facility?

Is insurance required? Yes, insurance is required for all rentals with the exception of private meetings with less than 100 people and picnic shelters with less than 75 people attending. What is your cancellation policy? Cancellations must be made two weeks in advance of booking or 50% of the rental will be charged with the exception of weddings. Cancellations not made at least 48 hours in advance of the bookings will result in the total amount of the rental being charged.

Rentals costs are determined by a variety of variables including size, location, event type etc. Please speak to our booking staff and we can help you find the best fit for your event and budget. Do I need to provide a damage deposit and howmuch is it? Most bookings require a damage deposit which is refundable within two weeks after your event. The amount varies depending on risk factors i.e. a child’s birthday party versus a large scale event with alcohol.

PUBLIC ART | COMMUNITYMOSAIC

THE MAPLE RIDGE COMMUNITY MOSAIC The Maple Ridge Community Mosaic celebrates the Maple Ridge Leisure Centre as an important social hub. Colourful geometric patterns were gathered from artist- run community workshops conducted throughout the city in February 2019. Approximately 540 unique patterns were documented! The project artists carefully combine these patterns to create a vibrant representation of the interconnections between people and place in the Maple Ridge community. The final artwork is fabricated from custom-made triangular ceramic tiles manufactured locally. A custom palette of twelve colours was developed based on over 200 photographs of the Maple Ridge landscape which were submitted by community members in 2018. The installation will be unveiled during the Leisure Centre re-opening in the near future. For updates see Facebook @MapleRidgeCommunityMosaic.

COMMUNITY CHAMPIONS is a citizen recognition campaign. Citizens of Maple Ridge were encouraged to nominate their exceptional neighbours this past summer according to five categories: artists, athletes, volunteers, storytellers and barrier breakers. Cheryl is the third of the nominees to be featured.

COMMUNITY CHAMPION | MOTHER NATURE LOVER | LEADER ZANDBERGEN

Thank you, Cheryl, for sharing your story with Maple Ridge. Learn more at mapleridge.ca/2016.

By allowing yourself to be vulnerable you will open yourself up to a world of support and joy.

walks past a puddle and her face lights up when you mention that Christmas is coming up because she loves pulling on a costume and collecting toys for the MRPM Christmas Hamper. Lastly, my husband is my rock. He’s the one who pitches in extra around the house and at work so that I am able to do the things that I do. I am forever grateful that he supports my passions as though they were his own. Without him, none of these things would be possible. TELL US ABOUTWORMS &WEE ONES. I created a free, volunteer-based outdoor play group called Worms & Wee Ones in January of 2014 when my oldest daughter was two years old. As she became mobile, I realized that I wanted to share my passion for the outdoors with her. I was nervous to hike with a small child on my own and I really I wanted her to be able to play in our natural spaces with other children her age. I didn’t want her (or the other children) to be toted around without being able towatch a slug cross our path or touch the rough bark on a cedar tree or jump in the puddles. I didn’t know many families in town at that point and it became lonely mothering on my own at home each day. I sought real-life connections with like-minded people. When I put the word out on my Facebook page it slowly gained traction. My daughter and I attended many soggy meet-ups alone but always promised that we would be there – rain or shine. Within a few months we had a solid group of “regulars” and then over the next six months or so we grew to be a recognized name among families in Maple Ridge. New families were joining at each for our weekly meetings, which was very exciting. Our current membership sits at over 1,000 families! Over the years we have visited oodles of trails and parks, jumped in countless puddles, made hundreds of new friends and created a community of eco-loving families. The bonds we have forged with people in nature cannot be rivaled. There is something indescribably special about spending time with others in nature.

WHAT DOES "COMMUNITY" MEAN TO YOU? A community is a group of

people who celebrate each other’s successes, grieve each other’s losses and lessen each other’s burdens together.

All members of a community feel valued and loved. HOW LONG HAVE YOU LIVED IN MAPLE RIDGE? My husband and I moved to Maple Ridge in March of 2011 (8 years ago). CAN YOU TELL US A BIT ABOUT YOUR FAMILY? My girls are one of the biggest reasons that I am active in our community. I want them to grow up in a place where they feel loved and supported long after I am gone. I want them to know that they can be the change that they want to see in their world and I want them to follow their passions as I have. The best way to do that is by example. Kayla is 6 years old. She has a beautiful soul. She’s always cared deeply for other people, whether they are family or someone she has newly met. She loves to spend time in nature, whether it is swimming at Whonnock Lake or hiking in Golden Ears Provincial Park. And her love for those places runs deep. She regularly brings a bucket and tongs onwalks so that she can clean up litter and leave the spaces that she visits better than she found them. Sienna is 3 years old. She moves at a much slower pace than her older sister. She’s the one to point out a full moon in the sky or gorgeous flowers alongside a trail. She never
