SPRING/SUMMER LEISURE GUIDE DELIVERED WEDNESDAY, MARCH 11; REGISTRATION BEGINS SUNDAY, MARCH 15

For immediate release: March 9, 2015 - 11:09 am
CY15-111

The City of Saskatoon Spring/Summer Leisure Guide will be delivered to every home in Saskatoon on Wednesday, March 11, 2015, and can also be picked up at any Leisure Centre, Saskatoon Public Library location, or City Hall.  The Leisure Guide is available online beginning today, March 9, from www.saskatoon.ca/leisureguide.

The Leisure Guide contains everything you need to know about Saskatoon’s seven indoor Leisure Centres and is the go-to source for fitness programs, recreational activities, and arts and culture opportunities for all ages and abilities.  Get a spring in your step and stay active this season with the many options provided by the City!

Highlights of the Spring/Summer (April 1 to August 31, 2015) Leisure Guide include:

  • Return of the Summer Indoor LeisureCard and other seasonal admission products, such as discounted bulk tickets for outdoor pools!
  • Enjoy the Last Hour of operation at any Leisure Centre fitness and exercise room, walking track, and open gym, seven days a week for a $3 admission.  Excludes the Fitness Centre & Terry Fox Track.
  • Make a splash at the many spray pads, paddling, outdoor and indoor pools.  Includes public, parent & tot, family, and lane swimming opportunities at the indoor and outdoor pools.
  • Sport & Splash Camp returns to Shaw Centre and Lawson Civic Centre.  The camp will also be offered during Easter Break at Shaw Centre!
  • Registered recreational programs for children, youth, and adults, including swimming lessons.
  • A map of the seven dog parks in Saskatoon - spend time outdoors with your furry friend!
  • And much, much more, including many arts, culture, and recreational services offered by other organizations in Saskatoon.

Registration for programs begins Sunday, March 15, at 6 p.m. by phoning 306‑975‑2800 or with Leisure Online at leisureonline.saskatoon.ca.

Starting Monday, March 16, at 6:30 a.m., Leisure Centres will be accepting mail or walk-in registrations; phone registration begins at 8 a.m. (please note that walk-in registrations will not be accepted at any Leisure Centre on the first night of registration).

Registered programs are very popular and fill up fast!  Many people will be registering Sunday evening, and the City sincerely thanks our citizens for their patience.  While additional online and telephone resources are in place to make the process go as smoothly as possible, there are still thousands of people registering at once, so here are some tips to help you be prepared:

  • You will require a client ID number and family PIN to register online.  To set one up or if you forgot yours, phone any Leisure Centre before Sunday, March 15.
  • Have a list of second and third program choices, just in case you do not get into your first choice.
  • Join the waiting list.  Every full program has an online waiting list, and new classes may be created if there is enough demand.
  • Consider other Leisure Centres if your nearest location isn't available – just a short distance away!
  • Ensure your major web browser (Internet Explorer, Safari, Firefox, Google Chrome) is up-to-date.

Get the Guide!  Keep the Guide!
