PROGRAMS |
|
Registration Information All Older Adult Centre program participants are expected to become members of the Centre and to pay the advertised fee for each program. Participants will be asked to show their 2012 membership cards. Guests can attend programs twice before becoming a member (program fees apply). This does not apply to off-site programs during the introductory period. Registration and fee payments (cash or cheque) are accepted in the Centre during public operating hours. The Board of Directors reserves the right to cancel or alter advertised programs, instructors, special events and travel schedules. Full refunds are issued if the Centre is responsible for a cancelled program. Withdrawal Request Forms are available at the Administration Office, and must be submitted before the third class commences to be eligible for a refund. Refunds will be pro-rated and will include a $5.00 administration fee for each program. NSF cheques $25.00 fee applies.
Program Cancellations Why are good programs cancelled? Our programs can only run as long as we have a minimum number of participants registered in them. Therefore, it is very important to register for programs at least a week before the program starts. Don’t be disappointed, sign up early! You must register in advance for all programs with an asterisk * |
