New! Refund procedure
A new refund procedure is in effect for registered activities and passes/memberships that start or were purchased July 18, 2023 or later. All drop-in activities and memberships purchased before July 18, 2023 are subject to the old refund procedure.
Requesting a refund
To request a refund for eligible products or activities, contact any recreation, arts or heritage facility.
A refund fee may apply. Refunds for withdrawing from an activity using WebReg will be made as a credit on your WebReg account regardless of your method of payment. The exception is for payments made with recreation credits through the FAIR Play Program (previously known as Recreation Credit Program) and those refunds will be refunded as recreation credits on your account.
Please contact staff at a recreation or culture facility if you wish to have your credit on account refunded to your credit card or by cheque depending on your original method of payment.
Refund guidelines for activities
You'll receive a full refund if the activity is cancelled or if you request a refund at least 7 days before the start of the activity. If your request comes less than 7 days before the activity starts, there is a 10% refund fee on the original price you paid.
After the activity has started, refunds are pro-rated according to the number of sessions remaining and a 10% refund fee will be applied. No refunds will be granted after the third session has ended.
Note: There may be exceptions to these cancellation and refund guidelines as noted in the activity description. Please check your receipt.
