August 17, 2023 - 1:00pm
- Do not use Internet Explorer to complete transactions. Compatible web browsers include Chrome, Edge, Firefox and Safari. Ensure your web browser is up to date. Online transactions are not supported using a device or operating system older than Windows 7, Mac OS 10, Android 5, iPhone 5.
- Ensure you have an active Leisure Online registration account and know your username and password prior to registration night. If you are unable to access your account, call any Leisure Centre to have your account reset.
- Have a list of second and third program choices in case you do not get into your first choice.
- Join the wait list! Every full program has an online wait list and new classes may be created if there is enough demand.
- Consider other nearby Leisure Centres if your preferred location isn't available.
Registration for the City’s Fall recreation programs begins Sunday, August 20, 2023, at 6:00 p.m. by logging into to your account on Leisure Online at leisureonline.saskatoon.ca, or by calling 306-975-2800.
Registration for private and semi-private swim lessons will open on Monday, August 21. Registrations are accepted by phone only. Call the Leisure Centre you are interested in taking lessons at to register. This change is being piloted in effort to reduce wait times for phone line registrations.
Be sure to check out the Red Cross to Lifesaving Society swim lessons transfer chart in the Leisure Guide before you make your swim class selection if you have not enrolled in a Lifesaving Society lesson set previously.
Opening night for registration is very busy, and the City sincerely thanks residents for their patience. While additional online and telephone resources are in place to make the process run as smoothly as possible, there will be many people registering at once.
Here are some tips to help you prepare for a smooth registration:
Several changes have been made to Leisure Online to optimize the site on registration night. From 5:45 p.m. to 6:30 p.m. on Sunday, August 20, access to view drop-in programs will be disabled. Only the registered program section will be available at that time. Images will also be removed from the registered programs page to improve the load time of the page when a high volume of users are on the site at the same time.
The Fall Leisure Guide, which is Saskatoon’s go-to source for fitness programs, recreational activities and arts and culture opportunities for all ages and abilities, was released on August 4. It is available online at saskatoon.ca/leisureguide or for pick up at any City leisure facility, Saskatoon library or over 120 retail locations throughout Saskatoon and limited surrounding areas that the StarPhoenix is sold.
