Heritage Snapshot
Clayburn School
Address: 4315 Wright Road, Clayburn, B.C.
Construction Date: 1907-1908
Architect: Provincial Department of Land and Works
Builder: Robert Harvey Brock
Heritage Status: Municipally Designated, Heritage
Designation Bylaw no.1700
Community Heritage Register Listing: Yes
Clayburn is British Columbia’s first company town, built around
the Clayburn Company that thrived from the early 1900s until
the brick plant’s closing in 1930. The town features a number
of remaining historic brick buildings, which are symbolic of the
town’s rich brick making history. The Clayburn School is one
of the early buildings that reflect the rich history of Clayburn
Village. The original wood-frame school was built between
1907 and 1908, and was expanded to twice its capacity a
number of years later as a response to the growing Clayburn
population. The Clayburn School maintains much of its original
integrity; the most significant alteration having been the
expansion of the original small school building prior to 1925.
The School is listed on the City of Abbotsford’s Community
Heritage Register and is a Municipally Designated Heritage Site.
Clayburn Church
Address: 4280 Wright Road, Clayburn, B.C.
Construction Date: 1912
Original Owner: Presbyterian Church
Builder: Clayburn Brick Company
Heritage Status: Municipally Designated, Heritage
Designation Bylaw no.1535
Community Heritage Register Listing: Yes
The Clayburn Church is one of the early buildings that reflect
the rich history of Clayburn Village. The church is a brick
building that was built in 1912, and served the town of
Clayburn until 1958, when the church closed its doors to the
public and moved to another location. In 1978, due to the
efforts of the M.S.A. Heritage Society, the church was restored
to its original condition, and currently provides rental space to
the community. The Clayburn Church maintains much of its
original fabric; however, the church underwent a significant
alteration during the dismantling, salvage and reconstruction
of the building. The church is listed on the City of Abbotsford’s
Community Heritage Register and is a Municipally Designated
Heritage Site (Luxton, 2013).
Following the closing of the plant in 1930, many original
residents left the town to pursue their lives elsewhere. However,
the current community, which does comprise a number of longtime inhabitants, takes pride in their town’s history (Luxton,
2013).

PRESCHOOL
Let’s Get Moving!
Canadian Society for Exercise Physiology suggests,
for healthy growth and development in infants
(less than 1yr), they should be physically active
several times daily. For toddlers (1yr - 2yrs) and
preschoolers (3yrs - 4yrs), they should accumulate
at least 3 hours of physical activity at any intensity
spread throughout the day, everyday! Playing
games in lessons can provide the opportunity to
learn new skills, and improve social skills.
Our preschool programs promote children’s social, emotional,
physical and intellectual growth and encourage them to express
themselves through creativity and imagination in individual and
group settings. All of our preschool programs will afford your
child at least a half hour of exercise per class. Our professionally
trained program leaders incorporate lots of toys and games into
every session so they experience fun in a range of environments
and intensities, from the gym to the pool.

Let’s Get Moving!
Canadian Society for Exercise Physiology
suggests, to achieve health benefits, adults
aged 18yrs - 64yrs should accumulate at least
1 hour of moderate to vigorous intensity
aerobic physical activity 3 days per week. It
is also beneficial to add muscle and bone
strengthening activities using major muscle
groups, at least 2 days per week.
Moderate intensity physical activities will cause adults
to sweat a little and to breathe harder. PRC supports
the Physical Activity Guidelines by offering activities
like: brisk walking on our indoor track, aqua classes and
strength classes, such as Strength, Abs and Stretch.
Vigorous intensity physical activities will produce sweat
and increased breathlessness. PRC offers vigorous activity
classes like: Cycle Fit, Tabata Circuit and Fit Circuit. Make
a plan to get moving!

working out in the weight room
a few times a week. Now… I

intense and make my cardio
session worth every minute. I

In partnership with Abbotsford School District No.34, Abbotsford
Senior Secondary School is home to the newest synthetic turf

involved with school and community sports. This field has been
marked for soccer, American football, unified field lacrosse and field
hockey.
Bakerview Centre for Learning - Cricket Pitch
In partnership with Abbotsford School District No.34, Bakerview
Centre for Learning is home to the newest cricket field. An artificial
cricket pitch has been constructed to provide a venue for divisional
play for local cricketeers. Cricket continues to be one of the fastest
growing sports in the Fraser Valley.
Abbotsford Exhibition Park - Natural Turf Wicket
In 2011, the artificial cricket pitch at Abbotsford Exhibition Park was
converted to a natural cricket wicket. The wicket has four pitches
that were constructed with specialized soil that was brought in
from the Edmonton area. The soil requires a clay content that is
significantly higher than local soils have. Specialized equipment has
been purchased and maintenance procedures have been established
to provide the local cricket community an exciting venue for play.
This conversion allows for Abbotsford to host both national and
international cricket events.

General Park Information
The City of Abbotsford operates and maintains 70 playgrounds in
our parks. In 2003, a Playground Replacement Program was put
in place and, with the ongoing support from the Rotary Club of
Abbotsford-Sumas, the City has been able to replace 12 playgrounds
since that time.
In 2013, the City was awarded a Federal Government Matching
Infrastructure Grant to replace 10 of its aging playgrounds. This
funding has enabled the City to replace the last of its non-CSA
compliant playgrounds. Playground structures in Larch, Southern,
Glenridge, Charlotte, Everett, Juniper, Renton, Fairfield, Uplands
and Jubilee Park were replaced, as well as upgrades to surrounding
infrastructure were completed in March 2014.
New playground designs address inclusive play and serve children
of all abilities. Replacing the old pea gravel surfacing with “wood
carpet” not only provides better fall protection, but also makes
our playgrounds wheelchair accessible. New protective fencing and
asphalt pathways have been added at several of the playgrounds
where needed to further enhance and provide better accessibility.

Field Inspection Procedure
During periods of potential inclement weather, generally November
to March, when normal play may cause damage to fields, or
compromise the safety of users, fields are inspected and reported
upon as to the present conditions.
These inspections occur daily during the business week regarding
field status. Parks staff report on conditions daily prior to 12pm for
daily status.
Prior to 12pm on Fridays, the weekend field status will be reported
on. This status is for the entire weekend until further inspections
and reports to the website and the hotline are updated, on the first
business day of the next week. Field status over the weekend cannot
be changed but are monitored by weekend staff, to ensure safety.
Fields are closed to prevent situations that may lead to player injury
and degradation of the field surfaces. Conditions that warrant field
closures are:
• Standing water
• Frozen or snow covered field surface
• Excessive wear
• Excessive frost
• Weather forecasts stating inclement weather
Picnic Shelters
The City has numerous picnic shelters that will accommodate your
needs. Picnic shelters are next to playgrounds, washrooms and green
spaces for all sorts of activities. Fire restrictions limit cooking to
propane barbecues, supplied by the user group.
Reserve your picnic shelter from April 1 - October 31. Picnic shelters

Park Programs
Parks Gift Program
The Parks Gift Program was developed to allow citizens, community
groups and businesses to donate gifts to the City of Abbotsford
for the enhancement of public parks and recreation facilities.
Applications are accepted year round. To ensure survival, planting
trees and shrubs may be delayed until an appropriate time of the
year. Benches, picnic tables and similar gifts are ordered immediately
upon receipt of payment and are installed upon receipt from the
manufacturer. Donors can work with our Parks staff to ensure that
the gift is appropriate for the location requested. All donations
in excess of $1,000 will receive a bronze plaque inscribed with a
message. Messages can be a maximum of 70 characters and plaques
will be installed on, or next to your gift. Donations greater than
$15,000 can be recognized with a plaque unveiling at a special
event.
Cost Sharing of Private Fencing
As a “Good Neighbour”, the City of Abbotsford will consider
cost sharing the installation of fences constructed on residential
properties shared with city parks and / or pedestrian walkways.
Trees
The City of Abbotsford has a bylaw in place to preserve the tree
canopy in Abbotsford. The City also has measures in place to ensure
that all trees are healthy and viable and contribute positively to the
natural environment. Trees are important in our community to help
us sustain a healthy, natural environment. Before cutting down any
trees on your property, it is important to contact the Urban Forestry
Section to ensure that you comply with the bylaw (please see bylaw
at www.abbotsord.ca). There is a fee for the tree-cutting permit. The
current fee is indicated on the tree cutting application form. Permits
are valid one year from the date of issue. For information on tree
permits or if you have any comments or concerns regarding a tree
on a City boulevard or park contact Parks, Recreation & Culture.
Tips for your Trees
Fertilizing:
• F ertilize your tree ONLY if a soil test shows that nutrients are
lacking. If so, an application of a balanced fertilizer may be applied
before the tree begins to bud.
• A
pplying “weed and feed’ to your lawn may injure or kill your tree.
Most combination weed killers and lawn fertilizers will injure trees.
Do not use anything that states it will kill broad-leaved weeds
within the drip line of a broad-leaved tree as it may harm the tree
as well.
Mulching:
• M
aintain a ring of mulch around the base of the tree (the wider
the better). Organic materials like wood chips and leaves are best.
Wood chips will take longer to break down and, therefore, will not
require replacement as often.
• M
ulch layer should not exceed more than 10 cm. deep over the
roots as this may inhibit oxygen from reaching the roots.
• M
ulch should not be placed against the bark of the tree or placed
in a “mulch volcano”.
Watering:
• A
n important factor in tree survival is providing water at the
correct frequency. The first three years are most critical, but pay
attention to watering needs throughout the tree’s life.
• T he best way to know how often to water is to check the soil
moisture approximately 15 cm. below the soil surface. Water when
dry.
• F or the first three years after planting, provide about 10 liters of
water per 3 cm. of trunk diameter. Water the root ball and just
beyond radiating out from the trunk.
• A
s the trees age, supplemental watering is encouraged in times
of low rainfall to assist in the development of healthy trees. Water
larger trees within 2 m. of the trunk out to the drip line.
Geese and Ducks
Please do not feed the geese and ducks.
While it is enjoyable to feed waterfowl, it is detrimental to them and
to our environment.
Feeding waterfowl creates numerous problems such as:
• D
isturbs natural migration patterns, leading to extremely large
concentrations of birds - overcrowding can lead to disease and
fighting amongst the population.
• D
estroys the birds’ ability to forage and find food for themselves.
• D
eprives the birds of essential nutrients and can cause serious
digestive problems.
• A
ttracts rats and other vermin due to the large amount of food
scraps in the area.
• R
educes usable areas for people due to large amounts of feces and
potentially aggressive geese.
• C
auses costly efforts to keep our parklands usable and clean and
to manage the ever-increasing numbers of waterfowl.
The presence of wildlife can greatly enhance your park experience
but, when waterfowl concentrations become too high, it can
diminish your experience as well as causing significant increases in
maintenance costs.
Please help us to manage these large waterfowl populations by
allowing the birds to feed themselves. Remember, real geese don’t
eat bread.

What is a Dog Off-leash Area?
Hydro Towers
A dog off-leash area is a place where pet owners can take their
dogs to run free without a leash. Off leash does not mean “out
of control” and only applies to the specific, designated area. Pet
owners must ensure that their dogs are controlled and not violent or
aggressive. Pet owners must also be on-site for the duration of the
visit and abide by the off-leash area etiquette.

SWIMMING
Let’s Get Moving!
Canadian Society for Exercise Physiology
suggests that we should all be active and
exercising at a range of intensities to ensure
that children’s bodies develop properly and
they learn new movement skills and that adult
bodies can maintain a healthy body weight and
build healthy hearts. Vigorous-intensity activities
such as aquafit classes or masters swimming
can help you improve your fitness, while
private swimming lessons can provide you with
moderate-intensity exercise while learning new
movement skills.
The City of Abbotsford offers Red Cross Preschool and Swim
Kids swimming programs. Through these programs we
combine water safety knowledge with technical swimming
skills to help people of all ages get the amount of exercise
they need. From swimming lessons to aquafit classes, our
pools give you the opportunity to experience exercise at a
range of intensities without the impact on your joints. The
pool is an amazing environment for you to learn new skills,
be fit and be active.

Skating
Let’s get Skating!
Ice skating is a wonderful activity to be enjoyed by
all ages and abilities. A great family activity that
will create many memories, skating also provides
excellent aerobic activity. Regular skating activities
will improve balance, coordination, muscle
endurance, strength, cardio and respiratory
endurance. Our Learn-to-Skate instructors will
teach you the proper skills in a safe environment
to enable a lifetime of skating enjoyment.
The Learn-to-Skate program includes Preschool and School
Age lessons that allow the individual to progress at a
controlled pace through the different skating skill levels. For
those that prefer to learn in an individual setting or want
additional instruction, we also offer private lessons that are
specifically targeted to your needs.
Whether you want to move on to hockey, figure skating,
speed skating or leisure skating, our lesson programs will get
you ready. Come on out for a skate!

Challenge,
Stick and Puck
Want to play some hockey
this summer? Grab your
gear from the storage
tree, bring a friend and
come practice your hockey
skills. These sessions are
unstructured, so that you
can work on your moves,
shoot on a goalie or pass
the puck around with
friends. Practice your
stickhandling, shooting,
passing, and more.
PRC
Speed, Enjoyment, Memories
“
The facility attendants that supervise
the Stick and Puck are great at
keeping it fun and efficient. They
allow us to play a game at the end
of the ice, which we organize, and
they just ensure it is kept at a fun
level where everyone gets to play. Or
we can just hang out and work on
our skills on the other ¾ of the rink,
shooting on net or playing pass with
our grand-children. I love spending
the time with my little guy out on
the ice.
”
- Anonymous
“
I enjoy working the stick
and puck program because
I get to watch people of
all ages come out and
enjoy the game of hockey.
Even if it is their very first
time out or they play at a
high level of hockey, the
smile on their face just
to be on the ice is very
rewarding to see.
