The City of Peterborough is offering financial assistance to eligible individuals and families to help with the cost of recreation programs at local facilities.
Recreation subsidies are available for a range of programs, including summer day camps, sports camps, dance classes, and adult leisure activities at the McDonnel Street Community Centre. These subsidies aim to reduce the financial burden on low-income families, making it easier for them to participate in community recreation offerings.
To qualify for the subsidy, applicants must meet the eligibility requirements outlined in the city’s guidelines. Detailed information can be found at peterborough.ca/RecSubsidy.
Applications can be made within 30 days of registering for a program, with proof of payment required. Those facing financial barriers to registering early are encouraged to apply as soon as possible to ensure they can access the assistance.
For help with the application process, individuals can email rec@peterborough.ca or call 705-742-0050 ext. 2215 to schedule an appointment with a Recreation Program Assistant.
For further details on the full range of recreation programs, including camps, sports, and swimming, visit peterborough.ca/recreation. More information on adult leisure programs at the McDonnel Street Community Centre is available at peterborough.ca/AdultLeisure.
