I hereby certify that I have no knowledge of any physical condition which would make participation in Town of Oakville programs and/or services hazardous to my health. Otherwise, the Get Active Questionnaire (GAQ), PARmed-X for Pregnancy, and/or physician referral must be submitted.

I understand that certain risks of injury may occur while participating in sport and recreational activities, programs and services. Risks such as muscle stiffness, sprains, strains, nausea, light headedness, chest pain and other health risks may occur. I understand that certain Recreational activities, programs and services require a minimum level of fitness and health (physical, emotional and mental) and that all individuals vary in their capacity to participate.

Coaching or teaching

Coaching or teaching — including structured guidance, instruction, or any transactional training services — is not permitted during drop-in or reserved recreational programs. While casual pointers or tips are allowed, they must remain informal and incidental to recreational activities, without resembling ongoing instruction. Town staff may use discretion in determining whether an activity qualifies as teaching or is simply informal assistance.

A technician will be present approximately 15 hours per week for consultation only. Instruction will not be provided.

Culture Studio memberships are available in the Ceramic or Woodworking Studios. Visit the Community Centres page for more information about the equipment in the Culture Studios.

If you have completed two courses, book a safety test by calling 905-815-5979.

Once the safety test is completed, culture memberships can be purchased in person at QEPCCC for $47 plus tax monthly.

Culture Members must book their drop-in time to reserve a spot in the studio. Spaces are limited and access is first-come, first-served.

The town is excited to offer a pre-registered supervised playground drop-in experience at select locations across Oakville during July and August.

Participants must purchase a one-time summer membership to access all 10 weekly drop-in programs, all summer long. Once the membership has been activated on the account, parents/guardians must pre-register for individual Super Playgrounds drop-ins (under Youth programs).
