3. Log-in prior to the registration date to ensure you have access.
4. Add family members to your account prior to registration opening.

6. We recommend the person who will be registering family members is the main contact on the account.
7. Call a recreation or arts facility if you have any issues accessing your online account in advance of registration day.

Booking online is quicker than booking over the phone or lining up in facilities.

2. Log-in to your online registration account prior to registration opening. 
3. Ensure that the main account user is the person who logs in and that you’ve saved a credit card for faster check out. 
4. Know the barcode # for the activities you want to register for or pull your Wish List up of previously favourited activities.
5. Refresh your browser right when registration opens. The system will not automatically refresh.
6. Select activities for all family members first, then pay for all activities at once. Activities must be paid when you register to secure your spot. 
7. If activities are full, join the wait list. If we have a cancellation, we will contact those on the wait list in the order that they were added.

If you are a Burnaby resident, you can register for swimming or skating lessons 30 days in advance of the start date. General registration opens 27 days in advance.

Tips for swim lesson registration

• If you passed a level in private lessons, call or come in person to register. You will not be able to register online as pre-requisites need to be added to WebReg prior to registration.
• Completed lessons from another municipality or taken lessons that differ from Burnaby’s Swim for Life program (i.e. private or schoolboard lessons, swim club)? Visit our pool with their report card, email their report card to [email protected] or do a swim assessment so you can register in the right level.
• Reminder that swimming lesson participants can only be registered for one set of lessons at a time. You can register for the next set of lessons only after the completion of the lesson set you are currently registered in. You may be withdrawn from a swimming program if registered in more than one lesson set.

Tips for skating lesson registration

• To ensure correct skate level placement, please review your child's latest report card or call 604-297-4521 before the start of registration. Register 3-6 year-olds new to skating for Intro to Gliders.
• Assessments: If you have taken skating lessons at a different arena in a different city, please email a copy of your child’s last report card to: [email protected]
• Reminder that skating lesson participants can only be registered for one set of lessons at a time. You can register for the next set of lessons only after the completion of the lesson set you are currently registered in. You may be withdrawn from a skating program if registered in more than one lesson set.

Courses must be paid for when you register.

Please have your credit card number, expiry date and CVC number ready for phone-in or online registration. 

If you want to register for a seniors 55+ activity, you'll need to purchase a 55+ membership.

We offer 2 kinds of membership:

• Single-centre membership: $21 per year
• Multi-centre membership: $52.50 per year

If you usually take part in activities at one centre, the single-centre membership might be right for you. If you enjoy joining activities in more than one of our 4 centres, a multi-centre membership is the more economical choice.

If you’re a Burnaby citizen 90 years or older, please contact your local 55+ Centre regarding a lifetime membership.

There is no expiration date for this agreement, however, this agreement can be changed or cancelled at any time by you or the City by notifying the other party in writing or by telephone. Please note: The City does not store your credit card information directly in our systems; but instead uses an encrypted (tokenized) version of limited data to process the payment when authorized by the customer. Should you have any question regarding the storage of your credit card in a tokenized format, please contact any of our recreation or art facilities.

If you have used your account in our current system since January 1, 2016, your account information has been transferred over to our new WebReg system.

Customer accounts that had any transactions since January 1, 2016 were copied over from the old WebReg including their credit on account balance and any amounts owing. 

If you did not claim your copied account and created a new one instead, your credit on account will not show as it is associated with your copied account. 

Please claim your copied account online using the email address that was on your old WebReg account OR go in person or call any recreation or culture facility for assistance. 

If you wish to claim your copied account, please call any recreation or culture facility to have the ‘new’ account you created retired from the system to avoid any future complications with their transactions.

After selecting an activity and participant, the Apply Recreation Credit to this registration check box automatically applies to the balance owing or uncheck the box if you do not wish to use Recreation Credit.
