NEW - Changes to Aquatic and Skating Program Registration

We're making the following improvements to the registration process for fall 2023:

  • Adding skills as a pre-requisite to a customer's profile in the registration system as a requirement for aquatics and skating lessons. For more information about proof of prerequisites go to page 14 in the fall leisure guide or visit portcoquitlam.ca/leisureguide.
  • Adding additional registration dates for swimming lessons on a rolling registration. A rolling registration will provide an opportunity for participants to register for a lesson more frequently throughout the season and provide fewer breaks in learning.
