The City will be opening drop-in recreation programs (e.g. swim, skate) at our recreation facilities, starting February 18. Schedules can be found online.
If you are participating in a drop-in program, you must register at recenroll.ca, and may do so up to 72 hours in advance. This tells us you are coming and also guarantees your spot as capacity is limited as per public health guidelines and the province’s COVID-19 response framework: keeping Ontario safe and open.
Spring program registration
Registrations starts Wednesday, March 3 at 7:30 a.m. Programs are scheduled to begin April 6 and can be previewed at recenroll.ca. We’ll issue refunds if programs are cancelled due to low enrollment or COVID-19. Note: Summer camp registration and summer swim lessons/programs will begin later this spring. Stay tuned for details.
Here’s some important information for your visit
We’ve updated our COVID-19 screening process for anyone entering our recreation facilities.

Masks are required unless you are under the age of 5 years old or if you have a medical reason.
We also continue our enhanced cleaning of all high-touch surfaces. Please wash your hands frequently with soap and warm water for at least 20 seconds, or use hand sanitizer, stay two metres (6.5 feet) away from people you don’t live with, and follow the arrows to help you make your way around the building.
