The town is in the Red-Control level under the new provincial COVID-19 Response Framework: Keeping Ontario Safe and Open. Provincial orders remain in effect and we must all follow public health guidelines.
The Town of Oakville continues its commitment to health and safety with altered programs and services, and is in regular contact with public health authorities to reduce the spread of COVID-19.
With Premier Ford’s announcement on Friday, November 13, we moved into the Red-Control level of the provincial COVID-19 Response Framework.
The following changes will be in effect at all town-operated recreation facilities beginning Monday, November 16:
Not all facilities or amenities, including helmet and skate rentals, are available at this time. If you can't find your favourite program, check back regularly. Activities are being added as safety measures can be put in place. Capacity restrictions are subject to change.
Regular skating admission policies apply. Additional requirements must be met to participate in a pay-as-you-go recreational skate. Visit our Programs FAQs page for details.
Please check your confirmation details carefully, including the location you have selected.
Skates can be pre-booked up to one-week in advance at active.oakville.ca. Spaces are very limited to comply with safety guidelines and available on a first-come, first-served basis. Check for the next week of scheduled activities every Monday.
Scanning membership cards is not required at this time. Admission must be pre-paid online. In-person drop-ins, cash payments and complimentary passes are not accepted at this time. Valentine’s Day tickets will be accepted for two months after non-registered pay-as-you-go programming returns.
