Swim admission policy |
|
A safety-first approach to swimming ensures safety and enjoyment for everyone. |
Concussion policy |
|
Preventing injuries is important to keeping people active throughout their lives. Some injuries are easy to see and treat but what about an injury inside the head? Brain injuries, such as concussions, don’t show on the outside and are not always obvious. Even when you can’t see the injury, a person with a concussion still feels the effects and needs the proper care to get better. The Concussion Awareness Resource document produced by the Government of Ontario will help you learn more about concussions so you can keep yourself and others active and safe. Learn more about Rowan's Law and concussion awareness resources. |
Cancellations and refunds |
|
If a participant cancels from a program at least 2 business days (5 business days for March Break and Summer Camps) prior to the first day of the program, a refund less a $9.93 administrative fee (subject to change) will be issued. Sorry, there is no reimbursement once the program has started. If the program is cancelled by Recreation and Parks, you will receive a full refund. Please allow 2 weeks for processing. |
