Registration for fall 2025 recreation and culture programs opens today, August 13, 2025. Residents can sign up for sports, fitness, arts, and culture classes through the city's online registration portal. The fall season covers programs running from late September through December. Popular categories include youth and adult fitness, swimming lessons, visual and performing arts classes, and day camp activities for older children. Many programs fill quickly, so the city recommends creating an account and adding your payment information ahead of time.
To get started, visit the Programs page to browse the full schedule. You can filter activities by age group, location, and facility. When you find a class you want, select the session and complete the checkout process. If you need help with the website, the Online registration help page offers step-by-step video tutorials and troubleshooting tips.
Families who need financial support can apply for the Fee assistance for leisure centres program. Applications are reviewed on a first-come, first-served basis, so early submission is encouraged. New residents should know that the portal supports multiple payment methods, and you can save your profile to register for future seasons. If you have questions about a specific program, contact the facility directly using the hours and phone numbers listed on the Facility information and hours page.
"We want every resident to have the chance to join a program that fits their interests and budget," says Fiona Gallagher, general manager of community services. "Opening registration early gives everyone a fair shot at the best sessions."
