Prince Rupert residents can now sign up for summer recreation programs as the city released its Summer 2026 Active Living Guide on June 3. The City of Prince Rupert opened registration for programs running from July 1 to August 31 at the Prince Rupert Recreation Complex at 1000 McBride Street.
The Summer 2026 Active Living Guide includes swim lessons, aquafit, summer camps, badminton, pickleball, indoor soccer, floor hockey, and climbing wall sessions. All programs are offered on a first-come, first-served basis, with registration available in person or by phone at (250) 624-6707.
The Recreation Complex has an indoor pool with a diving pool, tot pool, saunas, and a hot tub, plus a fitness area, ice rink, gymnasiums, and meeting rooms. Residents should note the facility will be closed on Canada Day (July 1) and BC Day (August 3). The aquatic centre will also shut down from August 24 to September 8 for maintenance.
For families facing financial barriers, the city’s Recreation Access Program provides subsidies that cover up to 90 percent of fees for children and youth. This helps more people join activities like carpet bowling, volleyball, and art classes.
The summer guide arrives as the city takes part in the 2026 ParticipACTION Community Better Challenge throughout June. Free activities are being offered this month, including waterfront fitness walks, community swims, and aquafit classes.
