Winter season programming in Toronto

November 30, 2016
 
The City of Toronto offers affordable community recreation programming for the winter season. Residents of all ages can register for winter skating programs, swimming programs and March Break camps.
 
Get ready!
Registration begins at 7 a.m. on Saturday, December 3 for Etobicoke/York and Scarborough Districts, and 7 a.m. on Tuesday, December 6 for North York, Toronto and East York Districts. 
 
Residents should visit toronto.ca/torontofun prior to registration day to:
• Find out district registration dates
• Build a list of choices (program titles and barcodes) using the website or the printed FUN Guide • Get a family number and client numbers to log in and register • Have a payment method ready or credit on the account, if fees apply 
 
Residents can use the "Search Programs" options at toronto.ca/funguide to build wish lists and have a few options ready in case they don’t get into their first choice. 
 
Using the website efun.toronto.ca is the easiest and fastest way to register for winter recreation. In September, 90 per cent of users were able to log in to the registration system in less than 11 minutes and, on average, once logged in, each registration was completed in just over seven minutes.
