Attention, Dear Toronto Parents!

Registration for fall/winter general programs, fall skating and swimming lessons, and winter camps will begin in about 24 hours

In fact, there are many reasons for you to consider municipality programs for your children

• Conveniently available at many community centers across GTA and in your neighbourhood, many of them in walking distance
• Great variety (arts, fitness, cooking, computer, skating, skiing/snowboarding, sports, swimming etc) of programs for all age groups, even gender specific, private 1:1, or family fun
• Inclusive programs for children with special needs, e.g. Integrated Service at City of Toronto
• Often more affordable, for example, City of Toronto offers Free & Low Cost options for Recreation Programs
• Well governed in the aspect of safety, standard service, staff qualification

The clock is ticking, it is time to ACT, and that is NOW!

• Do your homework before registration starts - search / determine the specific programs (and save the program barcodes in a word/notepad) in advance, and the available tools
  • Print or electronic copy of Toronto Fun Guide (varies by district)
  • Toronto Fun Online, navigate by category (lacking in search)
  • KidsPrograms.ca (highly recommended), map-based, ability to search by age, address/postal code, days of week, etc
• Set your alarm clock to Sept-12 6:30am
• Have your computers ready
• Write down your Client Number / Family number for online login
• Save the bookmark for Online Registration
• Wake up on time and let the Fun begin!

Believe it or not, or in case you are interested, many popular programs will run out of spots fast. KidsPrograms.ca has tallied Spring 2015 registration data, and here are some of the red hot programs.
