At the time the Winter guide was sent to print, some programs were still in the process of being reviewed and finalized due to current COVID-19 health and safety protocols. Please visit the websites noted throughout the Guide for the most up-to-date details on programs and services.

While additional online and telephone resources are in place to make the process run as smoothly as possible, there will be thousands of people registering at once.
Here are some tips to help you prepare:
