Frequently Asked Questions
Why is there no online Activity Guide anymore?

The City of Kelowna’s Intelligent City Strategy is to find ways to improve the lives of residents through access to online services, technological innovation and collaborative problem-solving, creating local solutions to local problems.

We heard from both staff and the public that finding and registering for programs was a challenge and our staff sought out to find a tool that is easy to use, and simpler than a magazine-type guide.  Using the online registration system, you can find the programs you’re looking for as well as explore other new activities.

For an overview of all programs / program types offered this season, refer to the seasonal program index. 

Are printed activity guides available?

No. Unfortunately, printing the Activity Guide was not only an expensive initiative, but we also recycled hundreds of guides per season, even after reducing our print numbers.  Visit rec.kelowna.ca to explore and register from programs online, a tool which aligns with Kelowna’s Intelligent City Strategy.

 

How do I register for programs?

Registration hasn’t changed! Residents can still register for programs in their preferred way: online, by phone at 250-469-8800 or in-person at Parkinson Recreation Centre (1800 Parkinson Way).
