Introducing our new WebReg online registration system
In July 2023, the City enhanced its online parks, recreation and culture activity registration, WebReg, with a more modern system. This improved system makes it easier for users to view, find and register for activities for the community to participate and stay active!
Our new system is modern, user friendly and adaptive. Some new features of our new WebReg system:
- a simple login using your email address and password you choose
- an improved filtering and search feature that makes it easier to find what you are looking for and accomplish tasks more quickly
- a queuing system to allow you to keep your place to speed up the registration process on busy registration days
- a Wish List feature for you to save activities that you may be interested in registering for in the future
- a personalized calendar for you to view your family’s schedule
- you can save your family's schedule of activities to your personal device
- over time, ability to view activity outcomes (grades) needed for prerequisites
- an option to store payment methods in your account
- available 24/7 with a mobile-friendly design so you can access on all your devices
Note: With our new WebReg system, the City will be sending email communications from [email protected].
We’ll be here for any bumps along the way!
As with any new system, there’s potential for some unforeseen bumps or glitches. Our team has made this project a priority and will work with you throughout the process if any issues arise. We thank you in advance for your patience and understanding as we strive to make life better for our communities.
