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.

On Monday, March 26, 2018 the Maple Ridge Leisure Centre aquatics area, change area and front entrance lobby closed. As of the end of January, we are approximately halfway through the construction and looking forward to opening late Summer 2019. NEWCHANGE AREA The new changing space will include an overall increase in change rooms, increased accessibility and a modernized space that will improve flow and changing experiences.

Change Room Breakdown: • 15 single change rooms with bench and shower • 2 single change rooms with bench • 5 large change rooms with sink, shower, bench, and toilet • 3 large change rooms with accessible bench, ceiling lifts, sink, and toilet MODERNIZING THE SPACE

The new change area will also feature new amenities that aim to make your experience the best it can be.

Additional Features: • Grooming station

• New lockers (break and rust resistant) • Increased natural light throughout space • Slip-resistant tile INCREASING PRIVACY & SAFETY

There will be no “nude zones” in the new change area as opposed to the old men’s and women’s change rooms that allowed patrons to change in the open. Clothing will be required in all open areas and pool users will be able to access their own, private change space that suits their needs.

Want to see the progress from day one construction until the end of January 2019? We installed a time lapse camera at the start of the project to give you a behind the scenes peek at construction progress! Check it out along with our regular Pool Talk updates on your preferred platform.

THANK YOU FOR ENGAGING As always, thank you for engaging with this project. The Maple Ridge Leisure Centre is an important hub of activity within our City and we look forward to welcoming you back to the newly renovated facility.

NEWPARK DEVELOPMENTS Visit the Maple Ridge Parks, Recreation & Culture website to learn about new park development projects underway in our parks ( mapleridge.ca/1441 ). We also have a field development projects page for information on the ongoing field projects in Maple Ridge ( mapleridge.ca/1890 ).

SYNTHETIC FIELDS UPDATE Construction at the new synthetic field complex at Telosky Stadium is now well underway with most of the excavation work, drainage and base preparation work being completed over the winter. When complete, this new facility will have two synthetic softball diamonds, overlapping synthetic soccer fields, new LED sports lighting for all four diamonds and a new washroom and fieldhouse building. A new synthetic field at Golden Ears Elementary and Arthur Peake Centre is now open. This multi-sport soccer and lacrosse field is the newest synthetic field for our community and features LED sports lighting, a shock pad, odourless engineered infill made from new material and an expanded parking area for sports users. In addition, the synthetic turf field at Samuel Robertson Technical Secondary School, Rotary Field was replaced in time for the fall and winter sports season. BLANEY HAMLET PARK A new neighbourhood park will open in the Blaney Hamlet area of Silver Valley. Park features include a nature inspired playground area with a water play feature, climbing stump, walking trails, sports court, a reconstructed stream and open grassed area. A grand opening event with the community will be held this spring. Come check out the newest park in Maple Ridge at 13712 230A Street!

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. Ben is the second of the nominees to be featured.

family in China. I felt excited for the new journey but also reluctant to leave my motherland. I was nervous to start a life without my parents in an unfamiliar country. The first month was the hardest. I had to learn to use the commuting system in Vancouver and I nearly got lost several times in the hustle and bustle of downtown. I only knew a few basic phrases in English in the beginning which made school challenging at times. I missed my hometown and family in China, but when I saw the beauty of BC it gave me the confidence to take on new challenges. The advice I would give to others moving to a new place is to be fearless to ask for help. I think it’s very important to step outside of your comfort zone and reach out to people. My favourite thing about Maple Ridge is its rich heritage and history, especially in sports as I’m a huge sports fan. Though Maple Ridge has the feeling of a small town, it has raised some of the greatest athletes on the world’s stage such as Larry Walker, Karina LeBlanc, and Greg Moore. There are so many inspiring stories and people here that prove that somebody from a small town can shine and make their mark on the world. These hometown heroes inspire me everyday to dream big, especially in my own sport endeavours! TELL US ABOUTYOUR LOVE OF SOCCER ANDWHAT IT MEANS TO YOU. As cliché as it might sound, soccer is my life! Soccer is my dream, my zen time and my lifelong passion. When I saw the 2010 FIFA World Cup on TV, it was love at first sight! I was determined to become a professional soccer player and hoped to play on the world’s stage one day. The first soccer team I played on was at my school in Maple Ridge in Grade 8. I can still vividly remember getting substituted into the game for the first time on that rainy afternoon in Merkley Park with the senior boys’ soccer team. That was my first time ever playing a structured soccer match. Today, I play with the West Coast Soccer Club here in Maple Ridge. Soccer transformed me from a shy, timid boy into a young man of character. Asking for help is a strength, not a weakness. WHAT IS YOUR FAVOURITE THING ABOUT MAPLE RIDGE?

WHAT DOES "COMMUNITY" MEAN TO YOU? Community to me is a place or group of people that you can call home. It is a family that welcomes you and involves you. It is a place where people come together and give support, helping each other thrive. I also believe that you can make a positive impact in your community no matter your age; you must take the initiative and be willing to share your successes and failures with one another. You must learn about the differences of those in your community and dedicate yourselves to equality, diversity and inclusion. HOW LONG HAVE YOU LIVED IN MAPLE RIDGE? I have been living in Maple Ridge for two and a half years now. I love the people, the nature, the history, the culture and the community here. CAN YOU TELL US A BIT MORE ABOUT WHAT IT’S LIKE TO MOVE TO A NEWCOUNTRY? In the summer of 2012 when I was 12 years old, I flew to Canada by myself for the first time. My heart was filled with a mixture of emotions while I waited in the airport with my
