Most programs and activities require pre-registration. You will need to create an account before registering for in-person or virtual recreation programs. If you are browsing available programs and activities, you do not need to create an account.

Booking online for drop-in activities will guarantee your spot, so booking online is recommended. Those who book online will get express service to scan and go. You can still choose to come in person and pay for your drop-in, but note that drop-in programs run on a first-come first-served basis.

Frequently asked questions

Online booking and registration

I booked my drop-in activity online. What do I need to provide when I arrive?
When you arrive, members can provide their member card to be scanned. Non-members can provide their phone number or name linked to the account.

Where can I see which activities I’m registered for?

When you log into your account, select the name of who is registered, scroll and select 'Schedules.' Each family member is displayed as a different colour. You can choose to see family members on one schedule or you can switch to 'List View' to display the activities for the selected family member. 

Why are there two price options?
Activity fees are for residents and non-residents. The online Recreation Portal will select the fee automatically based on your account information. Fees are also pro-rated after programs begin.

When registering for an activity, I had to step away and when I came back, my spot was gone. What should I do now?
When booking online, your spot is held for five minutes without any on-screen activity. If the registration process is not complete within this timeframe, the spot is released back and available to anyone. You need to start the registration process again. If you require assistance, please call 905-864-4132.
