The City of Saskatoon (City) Fall Leisure Guide will be delivered to every home in Saskatoon on Wednesday, August 12, 2015, and can also be picked up at any Leisure Centre, Saskatoon Public Library location, or City Hall.  The guide will be available on www.saskatoon.ca/leisureguide beginning Monday, August 10, 2015.

The Leisure Guide contains everything you need to know about Saskatoon’s Leisure Centres and is the go-to source for fitness programs, recreational activities, and arts and culture opportunities for all ages and abilities.  Stay active throughout the fall (September 1 to December 31) with the many options provided by the City.

Highlights include:

• Public skating schedules for the four indoor arenas.
• Birthday party skating packages at Cosmo Civic Centre and birthday party swimming packages at Lakewood Civic Centre and Shaw Centre.
• Public, parent and tot, family, and lane swimming opportunities at the indoor pools.
• Red Cross swim schedules for Shaw Centre, Harry Bailey Aquatic Centre, and Lakewood and Lawson Civic Centres.
• A variety of new cooking classes for adults such as:  Pies and Crusts; Muffins, Biscuits, and Quick Breads; Back to School Breakfasts and Soups; and Stews and Stocks.
• Preschool and children’s recreational registered programs such as:  Sport & Splash Camp; Jungle Gym Safari; and Snakes, Snails, and Puppy Dog Tails.
• Adult, teen, beginner (Smart Start), advanced, and Fit Over 50 drop-in exercise classes, personal training, and registered fitness programs at the six indoor Leisure Centres.
• Group fitness training for youth and adults at Shaw Centre, Saskatoon Field House, and Lakewood Civic Centre.
• A map of the seven dog parks in Saskatoon - spend time outdoors with your furry friend!
• A list of the programs offered by the 47 Community Associations in Saskatoon.
• Information about new Leisure Centre admission rates and options for you and your family.
• And much, much more, including many arts, culture, and recreational services offered by other organizations in Saskatoon.

Registration for programs begins Sunday, August 16, 2015, at 6 p.m. by phoning 306‑975‑2800, or register online at leisureonline.saskatoon.ca.

Starting Monday, August 17, 2015, at 6:30 a.m., Cosmo, Lakewood, and Lawson Civic Centres, Saskatoon Field House, and Shaw Centre will be accepting mail or walk-in registrations; phone registration begins at 8:00 a.m.  Harry Bailey Aquatic Centre is closed for annual maintenance and will not be open for registrations until Monday, August 31, 2015.  (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, August 16, 2015.
• Consider other Leisure Centres if your nearest location isn't available – just a short distance away!
• 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.
• Ensure your major web browser (Internet Explorer, Safari, Firefox, Google Chrome) is up to date.

Get the Guide!  Keep the Guide!
