Recreational Swims
Gatchell Pool will be closed for approximately eleven weeks, beginning June 5, 2023, while upgrades are made to the building's heating, ventilation and air conditioning system. Residents are encouraged to use another municipal pool until the project is complete. We apologize for any inconvenience this may cause.
Recreational swims are open for both walk-in and registered participants. To narrow your desired swim schedules search, use the filter option in our booking system to filter locations or services.

There’s a new way to register for leisure programs or book a facility. It’s easy to create an account! If you need help getting started, visit our Frequently Asked Questions page.
The French interface of our new registration system is still under development, however it is important that the City goes live with the new system as the existing registration and facility booking system is no longer supported by the vendor. Residents can still receive this service in French by calling 311 to have a French-speaking operator process bookings or registrations. The French interface will be launched in time for the fall/winter registration period.
