The City will open registration for fall recreation programs on Tuesday, August 26, at 8 a.m. Customers can currently browse offerings at play.barrie.ca and save them to their “Wish List" to conveniently find desired programs when registration opens. Starting this fall, City of Barrie residents can register seven days in advance of non-residents. As part of this change, the non-resident fee for recreation programs/memberships will increase to 25%.
“Stay active, connect with your community, and join the fun with our great fall lineup of programs for all ages and interests,” said Kevin Datema, Director of Recreation & Culture Services. “From youth sports, skating and swimming, to adult fitness classes, or a learn-to-play sport–there’s something for the entire family.”
Registration will be available online at play.barrie.ca or by visiting Allandale Recreation Centre (190 Bayview Drive), East Bayfield Community Centre (80 Livingstone Street East), or Peggy Hill Team Community Centre (171 Mapleton Avenue).
In addition to registered programs, the City offers recPASS memberships that include access to all drop-ins, including fitness, skating, open gym, kids programs, and swimming, as well as unlimited access to the City’s fitness centres at East Bayfield Community Centre, Allandale Recreation Centre, and Peggy Hill Team Community Centre.
The City also provides a fee assistance program, called recACCESS, that offers support to low-income families and individuals in Barrie by providing qualifying participants with a recPASS membership and youth credits that can be applied to the registration fee for qualifying programs and activities. Residents can learn more and apply at barrie.ca/recACCESS.
