Junior Programs

Check Out Our New Look!

The Recreation Division launched a new online registration, facility booking and membership system for programs and services on November 21, 2024. Most active users of the previous system have been migrated to the new system and sent an email notification with information on how to access their account.

If you have:

• a Recreation Assistance Program subsidy

• an active participation pass or clip card,

• an active rental contract,

• a balance on your family account, or

• registered for recreation programs within the last two years.

An account has been created for you and the identified main contact has received a notification to the email address on file with instructions on how to access and review the account.

Please be patient while staff are transitioning to new software.
