Early Local Recreation Registration

Early registration for spring recreation activities is now available at 24 centres. Early registration for CampTO starts March 24 at 7 a.m. at 33 centres.

 

Early Local Registration (ELR) makes it easier to register for recreation programs at 35 community centres in Toronto. Residents living near free centres may be able to register one week early for recreation and CampTO programs.

ELR uses data to create zones based on population, physical access, and social factors to make participating in recreation programs easier for residents. This registration process applies to registered activities at participating free centres and does not apply to:

  • Drop-In Programs with or without Reservations
  • Adapted and Inclusive or Accessible Recreation Programs
  • Afterschool Recreation Care Programs
  • Aquatic Leadership Courses
  • Access to Recreation Swim Program 

Registration is available:

  • Online at toronto.ca/OnlineReg
  • By phone at 416-396-7378
  • In-person at your participating early registration site

Meet your local centre staff, check if you are eligible for early registration, and learn about the activities and services offered, including Welcome Policy subsidy to help with the cost of recreation.
