Waitlist indicates that the activity is full. If you select Waitlist, you will be emailed if a spot opens up.

  5. You will need to select the family member you wish to register by checking the box next to their name and clicking “Next”.
  6. On this page, please ensure that the fee information is correct and click “Next”.
  7. When you are ready to check out, select your payment method. You can add a credit card or pay with your credit card on file. If you have a gift card, you can enter it now. Review that all information is correct and click “Place My Order”.
  8. Once your order is placed, you can add the drop-in program to your calendar, print your registration confirmation and more.

You will not be able to register for a workout in one of our fitness centres on the day. Just drop by the front desk at your preferred location and staff will be happy to check you in. If you prefer to pre-register, you can still book online up to the day before your desired workout.

Capacity limits

You will not be able to register for a course that is full, but you can be added to the waitlist if the option is available.

If a spot opens for that activity or additional sessions are added, you will be contacted by email. If you do not respond within 48 hours, your spot will be offered to the next person on the waitlist.

Please call 905-815-2000 or email recreation@oakville.ca for information about courses for which you are waitlisted.
