| Act-i-Pass for Grade 5 Children and Families |
|
Do you have a child starting grade 5 in September 2023? If yes, they are eligible for an ACT-i-Pass! What is the ACT-i-Pass? It is a card for grade 5 students that offers them (plus a friend or family member in some activities) access to free and low-cost activities like skating, swimming, karate and golf for a whole year. Activity options and service providers change throughout the year. Please go to the ACT-i-Pass website where you can search and discover local recreation opportunities that interest you. Ready to join? Complete the registration form online today at www.playeveryday.ca and your ACT-i-Pass card will be mailed to your home within about 3 weeks! Seeking NEW Recreation Service Providers We are continually seeking new recreation service providers to join the program, so we can offer a variety of physical activity opportunities for grade 5’s in as many communities as possible across Elgin, St. Thomas and Oxford. To participate as a recreation service provider, you can allow ACT-i-Pass holders to attend one or more of your programs at no or low cost. The model of the ACT-i-Pass is to leverage the spaces not being used by paying customers in pre-existing, underused programs. We do not aim for this program to result in costs or loss of income for our participating service providers. The ACT-i-Pass is flexible, so you can select the date(s), location(s), activity(ies), number of spots, and number of uses that work best for your organization. For further details about the program and roles of the service provider, please go to the service provider page. Ready to be a part of ACT-i-Pass? Please add your activity options in the service provider portal or you can email your activity options to playeveryday@uwo.ca. |
