THE MAYOR AND MEMBERS OF CITY COUNCIL INVITE YOUR COMMENTS.
Brampton City Hall at: TTY 905.874.2130
MESSAGE FROM THE MAYOR Brampton’s recreation programs and facilities are expanding and transforming in exciting ways. Even the look of Brampton Recreation is changing. You will notice new, modern visual elements throughout this guide and in other promotional materials. The City’s new Science, Technology, Engineering and Math (STEM) programs just launched in January. STEM programs offer fun, stimulating activities for young minds to help them think critically, solve problems, create and innovate. Several community centres are also on the verge of transformation. Changes are coming to the Brampton Soccer Centre to offer a larger range of sports and activities. The expansion of Gore Meadows Community Centre is nearing completion, and work is beginning on expanded and improved recreation centres in the Bramalea area. New accessibility features are coming to the Chris Gibson Recreation Centre spray pad, to ensure that all children are able to enjoy water play on the hot summer days to come. I hope you will be a part of the change – learn a new skill, try a different sport or activity, and enjoy your spring and summer.

FIRST TIME REGISTERING? In order to register for any programs, you mustfirstobtainaFamilyAccountwhichcan ONLY be done in person at any of our local Registration Locations (see pages 4-7). Once the account has been setup, you will be provided both your Family PIN and Client Barcodes which allows you to use online/telephone registration systems.
DO WE HAVE YOUR EMAIL ADDRESS?In an effort to make our registrations paperless, we offer customers the option of receiving their Registration Receipt via email. Make sure that your Family Account has an accurate email address so that you can take advantage of this service.
WHY REGISTER ONLINE? Online registration has become the most popular method for registration. It is fast and easy, and offers you the ability of registering without leaving the comfort of your own home.
ONLINE REGISTRATION FEATURES • Did you forget your password? No
problem. Request it online and it will be sent to you via email or you can contact 311 for assistance.
• Need a Registration Receipt? Log in and select the ‘MY ACCOUNT’ tab to reprint a receipt for current/ past programs.
• Your session will ‘time out’ after twenty (20) minutes of inactivity.
WAITLISTS Due to the popularity of our programming, youmayfindthecoursethatyouwantisalready full and you will be prompted to add your name to the waitlist. When on a waitlist, if a space becomes available or another opportunity opens up, you will be contacted by staff to offer you the spot. As well, by adding your name to the waitlist you help us identify the need for additional programming for our ever growing city.
WAITLIST ETIQUETTE We would ask that you please consider the following when choosing to go onto a waitlist:
• Only waitlist once for each program, for each participant. Being on multiple waitlists does not increase your chances of getting into the program.
• Choose either to stay on the waitlist or register for the same program at a different time – but not both. By doing both, you limit the opportunity for another participant to enjoy our programs. Please be considerate and help us accommodate as many participants as possible.
