City of Ottawa Recreation - Fall Updates

 

Before and after school program

For those looking for a before and afterschool program our start date has been rescheduled to begin on October 5 to give families time to determine their needs. Rest assured, these programs include COVID-modified activities such as creative physical-distancing games, sports, and arts and crafts. Quiet homework time will also be provided.

Fall registration has begun

Fall programming is back. Registration for COVID-modified swim lessons, power swim and advanced aquatic certification is open and look for all new recreation and arts eGuides coming later this month.

New drop-in classes and activities

Our weight and cardio rooms and pools are open already and, as of today, we are offering more drop-in activities including aquafit, yoga, fitness classes, racquet ball and walking clubs. Booking your spot is easy and you can reserve up to two days in advance.

Arts centres are open

With public health measures in place we are happy to welcome back residents to our cultural buildings. On September 24, the Trinity Art Gallery at Shenkman Arts Centre will open a new exhibit.  On October 13, specialized arts courses, virtual and in-person, are on offer from the Nepean Creative Arts Centre, Nepean Visual Arts Centre, and Shenkman Arts Centre. Stay tuned for more details.

Day of visibility

Both Shenkman Arts Centre and Meridian Theatres @ Centrepointe will be lit up in red to recognize the pandemic’s impact on the live entertainment industry. Watch in person and via social media on Tuesday, September 22, one hour after sundown. #LightUpLive
