The City’s recreation programs are popular and many have waiting lists. If registrants are unable to attend their program, they are asked to contact their local community centre or call 416-396-7378 to cancel their registration so that a spot can be offered to someone else.

Create a new account and wish list to prepare for registration

Last November, the City launched a new registration and booking system for recreation and cultural activities, fitness or sports memberships and passes, and select facility bookings. Most residents will need to set up an account in the new system, even if they had one in the old system. Family and client numbers are no longer used. Clients will login to the new system using email and password.

Residents are encouraged to explore the new system, create their new account and make a wish list before registration day online by visiting the City’s website: www.toronto.ca/onlinereg .
