The Strathcona Regional District have added cancellation fees to our Fees & Charges Bylaw. A “cancellation fee” means a fee charged for bookings, programs and lessons that are cancelled by the participant with less than the minimum period of notice set out our bylaw.
The fees are as follows:

• Less than 24 hours prior to program start or during program: Refunds will only be issued in cases where an individual is unable to continue for documented medical reasons, and a refund will only be provided for the remaining classes.
• 24-48 hours prior to program start: Cancellation fee of 50% of the program cost will apply.
• One week to 48 hours to program start: Cancellation fee of 25% of the program cost will apply.
• One week or more: No Cancellation Fee charged for withdrawal.

Program withdraws will be applied as an account credit for future registrations. If requested, a cheque can be issued to return account credits to the primary contact on the account. Please allow 2-4 weeks for processing.

A professional who wishes to work one on one with a client within a drop-in space is required to pay a professional admission fee per client and per visit. A “professional admission” means admission by a certified or designated professional representing an organization for the purpose of delivering services by that organization at Strathcona
Gardens. In order to qualify for the professional admission rate, the professional is required to maintain the following on their account:

1. Proof of certification or professional designation for the instruction, training or therapy being proposed or provided by the professional;
2. Documentary evidence that the instruction, training or therapy being proposed or provided by the professional is
   approved by the appropriate governing body; and
3. Proof of insurance with the SRD named as an additional insured party. Individuals providing professional services
   without professional designation or without purchasing the professional admission may be asked to leave the premises.

On May 21, 2025, the Strathcona Regional District Board of Directors approved Bylaw No. 602 – an amendment to the schedule of rates and charges to reflect the cost of providing services at Strathcona Gardens. 

To maintain the quality and quantity of services offered at Strathcona Gardens, the SRD reviews the rate of fees and charges at our facility every year. Rising maintenance costs and improvements, employee wages, and market adjustments all play a role in the SRD’s decision to increase costs.

Strathcona Gardens Recreation Complex Fees and Charges Bylaw 2018, Amendment No. 5” is available in the bylaw directory 

The one-month and 10-visit passes can now be purchased in a convenient auto-renew option, which gives our patrons an additional discount.  

Depending on how many people in the group, reception will calculate which rate is cheaper for the group, either the family rate or the caregiver + additional child rates. 

As our facility evolves, it is a challenge to differentiate between shower patrons and full facility patrons.  We encourage everyone to be active, so welcome all patrons to partake in the full facility offerings.

The Deep Water Motion, Fluid Motion, Adapted Aquatic and Ortho Management classes are the only programs in the facility that currently include an instructor for the price of a drop-in fee. Moving forward, these will be registered classes to bring them in alignment with our other instructed programs.  As such, the SRD is increasing the rate of this program to assist in the costs of the instructor. Standard drop-in rates are now for programs that do not have an instructor. 

Aquatic Fitness participants can either register for a single visit using the single visit Fitness Admission fee or buy a One Month pass which will allow registration for flexible fitness classes at zero charge (you scan your 1 month pass when attending the class). The 10-visit drop in pass is only for uninstructed visits.  Fitness instructors will be taking attendance prior to each class.
