The City of Brantford has opened registration for a wide range of spring and summer recreation programs for 2026, offering residents of all ages access to over 100 activities including fitness classes, swimming, and ice skating.
Registration for general spring and summer programs is currently open. Families interested in summer day camps can begin signing up at 7:30 a.m. on Wednesday, April 8, 2026. Those looking to register for summer swim lessons can do so starting at 7:30 a.m. on Wednesday, June 17, 2026.
Residents can browse the full list of offerings in the 2026 FUN Guide, which is available online or in print at city facilities, including City Hall, local libraries, and the Wayne Gretzky Sports Centre. To register for programs, residents can visit www.Brantford.ca/ACTIVEnet or contact the city by phone at 519-759-4150.
The city also offers financial support to ensure recreation remains accessible to everyone. The Can We Help program provides funding for youth aged 17 and under, with full coverage available for those receiving Ontario Works or Ontario Disability Support Program benefits. Additionally, the Arnold Anderson Sport Fund offers up to $350 in financial assistance to help youth up to 18 years of age cover registration costs for sports activities.
Residents are encouraged to share their feedback on local programming by completing a survey at letstalkbrantford.ca/recsurvey. Participants who provide their contact information after completing the survey will be entered for a chance to win a $50 recreation gift card, with the contest closing on Wednesday, August 5, 2026.
