Supervision of Children at the Ajax Community Centre

Dear Parent/Guardian,

While you are visiting Town of Ajax Recreation Facilities, it is our expectation that children under the age of 10, not participating in a scheduled activity or program, will remain under the direct supervision of an adult or responsible guardian of at least 14 years of age. Direct supervision is defined as the child or children must be in sight of the parent or guardian at all times.

For the safety of your child and others in our facilities, we require all patrons to adhere to our Code of Conduct and Spectator Code of Conduct.

Generally, recreation facilities are very busy with many people congregating throughout the building. It is virtually impossible for our staff to see every person and their actions at all times. Therefore, your child may be vulnerable to many dangers.

We appreciate your anticipated cooperation in regards to adequate supervision of your child while using our facilities.

Respectfully yours,

Recreation Services Staff

Supervision of Children during skating lessons

 ASC Coaches are responsible for supervising skaters while they are on the ice.  Once skaters leave the ice surface, our coaches cannot be responsible for them.  If your skater is under 12 years old, we expect that a parent will be in eye sight of the skater at all times.  There are heaters above pad 2 seating for your comfort; we would be glad to show you how to turn them on when the temperature outside the building is colder than 0 degrees.  Alternatively, there is a viewing area outside our office above pad 2 where you can comfortably watch your child during lessons.  If you child is sick or needs to use the washroom, you will need to attend to your child, as our coaches are busy supervising and teaching other skaters.
