Mayor’s Message
On behalf of Arnprior Council and staff, it is my pleasure to
present you with the 2019 Spring and Summer Edition of
Arnprior Life. I want to take this opportunity to thank all the
staff for their efforts with these events and programs for Spring
through Summer. The Town has brought together so many
programs and events to keep everyone, regardless of age, active
and entertained all spring and summer long.
Many of the Town’s popular summer events will be returning
beginning with the 3rd year of the Arnprior Sunday Market
Season (pg. 46) which begins on Sunday, May 19th. I have no
doubt that this year’s market will be bigger and better than the
last. The musical entertainment at Robert Simpson Park will
launch with 10 hours of live music and family fun at Priorpalooza
(pg. 46) on Saturday, June 1st and continue every Sunday with
Concerts in the Park from 1 - 3 pm (pg. 46). You also don’t want
to miss Arnprior’s annual Canada Day Celebrations on July 1st and
Arnprior’s very own Dragon Boat Festival (pg. 47) on July 20th.
Town staff have carefully planned plenty of programing to keep you and your family busy, including the
ever popular Camp Wanago which sold out last summer (pg. 41), new summer splash down public swims
(pg. 19), new barre fitness (pg. 33) and both women’s (pg.31) and youth ball hockey (pg 35). There are also
less structured recreation programing for all to take advantage of, including public swims (pg. 19), public
skates (pg. 17), the splash pad (pg. 19), the beach and our lending hub (pg. 7) which provides residents access
to recreation equipment like kayaks, canoes, stand up paddle boards and so much more.
However you enjoy keeping busy, make sure you take some time this Spring and Summer to enjoy the
beautiful Arnprior Waterfront. We are fortunate to have this stunning feature in our community and
whether it’s taking a nice walk along the trail, dragon boating on the water, renting equipment from out
lending hub to get out on the river or swimming at the beach make sure to take full advantage of the
waterfront during this Spring and Summer season.
Staff are always looking for new program ideas and events to ensure the Town of Arnprior offers something
for everyone. If you have an idea or suggestion for an addition to the Town’s recreation offering, please do
not hesitate to contact the staff at the Nick Smith Center.
Enjoy your Spring and Summer with family and friends and be safe.

Manager’s Message
I’d like to start by thanking everyone in the community for their
tremendous support during my first year in this role. I’ve enjoyed the
many conversations and exchanges with so many passionate people
that have brought forward new ideas and suggestions to enhance our
recreation programming, our facilities and events in our great Town.
It is no secret that we have a lot of work ahead of us at the Nick Smith
Centre – from the infrastructure that is in need of some much needed
TLC, to our programming that we’re looking to enhance following the
results of our Public Recreation Survey this past Fall – we will continue
to find ways to improve our programs and our facilities to meet the
needs of our growing community and our many users.
Much has been made about the launch of the new Seniors Active
Living Centre (SALC) this past Fall and we’re thrilled with what this new
resource is offering our community. If you are not already a member, be sure to get your membership this
Spring. A recently launched component of the SALC is their new Men’s Shed – visit their website or Like
their Facebook page for updates on this and their growing list program offerings.
Throughout this publication watch for the new Age Friendly logo beside various programs. This designation
means that the program is designed for adults and older adults and/or the program instructor can modify
the program to suit the various needs of older adults.
Be sure to circle March 30 on your calendar as we host the Seniors Information & Active Living Fair at the
Nick Smith Centre. This is a FREE event and will offer plenty of information and resources to seniors in our
community.
While you’re circling dates on the calendar, be sure to circle March 31 for our first-ever Arnprior Life:
Recreation & Culture Fair. The purpose of this fair is to promote all the programs, activities and clubs that
operate in our community. We’ll offer this same fair against in the Fall (September 14) looking to programs
and activities leading into the Fall and Winter season.
Our staff have put in countless hours working towards the launch of our new recreation management
program that will greatly enhance how we offer our services to the public – most notably offering online
registration. Watch for more information on the launch date of this new program.
One of the great things about living in the Ottawa Valley is we truly get to experience all four season, but
let’s be honest of the four seasons we all look forward to our summer – and we’ve got an exciting summer
ahead! Priorpalooza (June 1), Canada Day (July 1), the Dragon Boat Festival (July 20) and Concerts in the Park
(June 2 – August 18) are just some of the exciting events in our community this summer. Visit our Special
Events calendar on Page 2 and other special events on pages 43 - 47 to learn more about what’s going on in
our community this Spring and Summer.
We continue to look at new program offerings and welcome your continued input and feedback – my door
is always open.
Cheers an early Spring and a beautiful long Summer!

Facility User Liability Insurance Program
What is the Facility User Liability Insurance Program?
The Town of Arnprior receives a Master Policy issued through Frank Cowan Company covering
Facility Users. The Facility User Liability Insurance Program allows individuals and/or groups renting
a Town of Arnprior facility to extend liability insurance protection. The intention of the insurance
coverage is to protect facility users from financial exposure resulting from claims that may result
during their activity or event. The facility user liability insurance will be made available at the time of
booking. The limit of insurance coverage will be at $2 million per occurrence.
Facility Users
The requirement for user groups and individuals to carry liability insurance is specifically for those
users renting a Town facility. This program does not apply to use of Town facilities where a facility
rental fee is not applied.
Insurance Requirements
Groups and individuals responsible for a facility rental are required to produce and maintain,
throughout the duration of the Rental Agreement, proof of sufficient liability insurance coverage.
Depending on the type of activity, sport or event, users will be required to have liability insurance
coverage of a minimum liability coverage of $2 million. The program encompasses the rental of
facility space, sports fields, and rentable parkland.
The Liability Insurance Program provides the opportunity for individuals or groups renting our
facilities to either:
• Provide proof that they already have obtained liability insurance that meets the Liability Insurance
Program requirements; or
• Be provided with liability insurance under the Facility User Liability Insurance Program
For information or assistance with facility rentals, contact a Customer Service Representative at the
Nick Smith Centre at 613-623-7301 or the Finance Branch at Town Hall at 613-623-4231. Specific
insurance inquiries regarding the Facility User Liability Insurance Program will be forwarded to the
Insurer by Town staff as the Town is not licensed to provide insurance advice.

“L.I.V.E.”: Lifeguard/Instructor Volunteer Experience
Pool Deck Assistants: This volunteer-based opportunity for youth is designed to develop skills and
interest in aquatic instruction, aquatic safety supervision and to gain first aid knowledge specific to
an aquatic setting. Participants will be paired with our qualified staff and pool supervisors to provide
assistance with instructional program delivery, lifeguarding and general pool operations. The goal of this
program is to engage youth and encourage them to pursue advanced aquatic training which could open
doors to potential future employment in the aquatic field. This program will encourage participants to
develop leadership skills, and provide opportunities to be involved in aquatic instruction and exposure to
the responsibilities and roles of a lifeguard.
Participant Prerequisites: Candidates must have completed Level 10 in the Red Cross Learn to Swim
program and must be 12 years of age or older. Bronze Star, Bronze Medallion and Bronze Cross would be
considered assets but are not necessary. A vulnerable sector/police check is required.
Details: There is no charge to participate in this program but registration is required. Each participant in
our L.I.V.E. Pool Deck Assistant program can choose from a number of time frames, both evenings and
weekends, to assist our instructors and lifeguards. Participants will be contacted at the beginning of the
instructional session to co-ordinate their individual schedules.
