La Ville a rouvert certaines installations de loisirs plus tôt cet été. Le 7 septembre, le reste des piscines intérieures, des centres de conditionnement physique, des centres de loisirs et des arénas exploités par la Ville ont commencé de rouvrir, à l’exception du centre municipal de St. James. Les blocs d’entrée associés à ces installations peuvent être réservés.
Les inscriptions aux programmes du Guide Loisirs de l’automne 2021 ont commencé. Le Guide Loisirs de l’automne 2021, la brochure de patinage du Guide Loisirs et la brochure de natation du Guide Loisirs sont offerts en ligne.
Depuis le 3 septembre 2021, il faut désormais une preuve d’immunisation contre la COVID-19 pour entrer dans les piscines, les centres de conditionnement physique, les centres de loisirs et les arénas que la Ville exploite, et pour participer aux programmes intérieurs qui y sont donnés.
