Glen Abbey Community Centre

Mark your calendars! Summer registration opens Wednesday, May 19 at 7 a.m.

We’re excited to reintroduce a safe summer program session starting the week of July 5. Browse recreation and culture programs starting Wednesday, May 12. Program capacity is limited to meet all required COVID-19 health and safety protocols.

Halton Region is currently under a province-wide stay-at-home order

Premier Ford announced that in response to rising COVID-19 variant infections and hospitalizations, the government has declared a state of emergency and implemented a province-wide stay-at-home order. The stay-at-home order is in addition to the emergency brake shutdown already in affect and requires everyone to remain at home except for essential purposes. Review the Province of Ontario's website for information.

Under the stay-at-home order only leave your home for essential purposes:

• work, if you can’t do it remotely
• school
• groceries
• pharmacy
• helping vulnerable people
• outdoor exercise with members of your household

You should not travel outside your local community.

In response, community centres (including pools, fitness centres and arenas) and the Oakville Museum at Erchless Estate will be closed.

All registered recreation and culture programs. Drop-in activities, memberships, and indoor rental permits are cancelled. Refunds will be automatically issued to impacted customers.
