Programs and services will be very limited during the Provincewide Shutdown

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.

Premier Doug Ford announced that Ontario was entering a Provincewide Shutdown as of Saturday, December 26, 2020. In response:

• Our community centres, including pools, fitness centres and arenas (with some exceptions for high performance athlete training) are closed.
• All indoor Recreation and Culture programs, memberships and rental permits have been cancelled and refunded.
• Oakville Museum is closed.

Winter programs

Online and phone-based activities

Check out our Virtual Programs page for online fitness classes, cultural discussions, cooking workshops and much more! Join us using Zoom or your telephone. Some classes can also be found or re-watched on our YouTube channel. Fees may apply to specific programs.

A series of Without Walls (WOW) phone-based programs are also offered for ages 50+.

While the Oakville Centre for the Performing Arts remains closed for in-person performances, but we are offering a Mini Season of virtual performances.

There's Snow Place Like Home for winter adventures!

As part of our There's Snow Place Like Home campaign throughout the winter months, the Town of Oakville is excited to introduce a wide variety of opportunities for families, youth and adults to get outside and stay active while we're practising physical distancing this season. All programs offered follow strict COVID-19 health and safety protocols.

Outdoor skating times at Trafalgar Park Community Centre can be booked using Active Oakville, our online drop-in program finder and registration system. During the shutdown, cash payments will not be accepted.

Spaces are limited and available first-come, first-served. Please be courteous and cancel your booking if your plans change, so that others are able to attend. You can cancel your booking online, or call the facility directly if you are cancelling last-minute.
