Gleichen Pond Hockey Association

Program Philosophy
The primary purpose of the Gleichen Minor Hockey Association also known as Gleichen Pond Hockey (GPH) is to contribute to the development of our youth (ages 4-17 years) through the game of hockey. GPH is committed to providing our young people the opportunity to have fun on the ice while learning the basic skills of ice skating and how to play the game of hockey. Our program is available to all interested youth regardless of socio/economic background.
As a team sport, hockey affirms the importance of commitment, self-discipline, and sportsmanship among participants. It is the rare child who grows up to become an NHL All Star. Our commitment is to assure that all young people who participate will develop skills and values which will have lifelong benefit to themselves and to society.

Specific benefits participants of youth hockey receive include:

• Development of the skills necessary to play ice hockey
• Knowledge of the rules and strategies of the game
• Knowledge of conditioning techniques that affect short and long-term health and performance
• Enjoyment and recreation
• Commitment to teamwork
• Good sportsmanship

We place a high priority on effort, recreation and fair play. The focus of our program is on the physical and emotional self-confidence of the player, a cooperative team environment and the highest degree of sportsmanship.
We make a clear distinction between the process of trying to win (which is the goal of the game) and winning itself (the outcome of the game). Too many people confuse the two. It is the process that is important, not the outcome. Competitive hockey (and for that matter recreational hockey or any game) will cease to be fun for kids if the outcome of the game is what enthralls or seduces us.

Program Fees
Pond Hockey Registration Fee $105.00
Mandatory Arena Membership $50.00 (Single) $100.00 (Family)
The skate pass allows your child and/or family to take advantage of family/public skate sessions at the Gleichen arena and is valid for the entire season. Upon registration you will be provided a membership number that must be presented for Public Skate Times.

We're a friendly group of active people, a 50/50 mix of singles and couples, from various backgrounds and ages who enjoy dancing, music and having fun. We meet every Wednesday at Strathmore Civic Centre, 120 Brent Boulevard, from 7 - 9 pm. Several theme dances are held during the year and other events like a Christmas party and summer BBQ. We welcome new dancers any time throughout our dance season, October to May - no experience and no partner needed.

Our mission is simple - to have FUN! on the dance floor. It's a great way to meet new people and socialize. Dress is casual. Wear comfortable, indoor shoes suitable for a gym floor.

Square dancing is easy - there's no fancy footwork or lead/follow partner. It's the Caller's (dance instructor) job to tell you what steps to do and when. If you can walk, you can square dance. The most often heard comment, "I had no idea square dancing would be THIS much fun!"

Wheatland Whirlers Square & Round Dance Club was started in 1974 in Strathmore as a not-for-profit, recreational club. We are one of seven Modern Square Dance clubs in Calgary and area, and there are many similar clubs throughout Alberta, Canada, United States, and globally.

Register now for September 2022/2023 school year. We will accept registrations until our program is full. 

At Brentwood's Learn and Play Playschool we follow the Pocket of Playschool curriculum with bits and pieces of the Flight curriculum. Both are very hands on engaging curriculums that allow the children to learn through play, creativity and exploring. Throughout the day we will participate in teacher led activities such as group discussions, story time, songs and journal activities. They will include both large and small group activities. Students will engage in outside time when weather permits or gym time when it is to cold. During playtime they have the opportunity to explore six different centers which include a literacy center, dramatic play, building, sensory, math/science and art. Our main areas of focus on are social development, fine motor skills and gross motor skills but we also introduce the alphabet, different reading skills as well as math skills. Centers are full of different materials, including loose parts and are changing constantly. We strongly believe that when provided with the right materials children grow naturally through curiosity and play.
