Where can I find a recreation centre in my area?
To find a recreation centre in your area, you can:
Many recreation centres have ice rinks, tennis courts or swimming pools. Many of these are low-cost or free to use.
You usually have to pay to attend organized programs, such as swimming lessons or fitness classes. Some centres have sports or programs specifically for people with disabilities.
See if your municipal government has a guide with a description of available programs and how much they cost.
Depending on your household income, you may be able to get a reduction (subsidy) on the price. Ask the program organizers if a reduction is possible.
You may wish to join a private fitness club. Before you sign a contract, make sure you understand how much you have to pay and what services you will get.
