Easy Ways to Register

Register early to avoid program cancellation

You should register early for your program to avoid disappointment. We may need to cancel classes with low numbers.

Payments accepted

You can make payment by credit card (Visa or MasterCard) or debit for online and phone payments. When in person registration is available, payment by credit card, debit or cash is accepted. We encourage the use of credit or debit cards at this time. Make your cheques payable to the City of Belleville. There is a $45.00 fee for any cheques returned from the bank.

Class cancellations

Due to COVID-19, we may need to cancel classes/programs due to current restrictions. We may also need to cancel classes if we don't have enough people registered, for bad weather, instructor illness or other reasons. If we need to cancel the program because of low enrollment, we will call you before the program starts. Please make sure your contact information is current.

For cancellations such as bad weather, instructor illness, we will add a class where possible or you will receive a credit on your account. Follow us on Twitter or Facebook for class cancellations.

If you need to miss a class, unfortunately you will not be able to make it up on another day or in another session. Thank you for your understanding.

Inclusive recreation

We provide recreation programs to you in an inclusive environment. If you need modifications to participate in our programs, we will work with you to come up with an accommodation plan. Support people are free of charge (you may have to pay an extra fee for some program materials). For more information go to our accessibility page.

You may be eligible for financial help. Learn more about our recreation fee assistance.
