Please inital below to confirm that you have read, understand, and agree to our request.
We try our best to keep the children Sun Safe by increasing awareness and reinforcing healthy sun safe behaviour among children and staff, as well as following recommended best practices that include:
Sunscreen is kept at the centres to ensure that it is applied as recommended. We follow the Canadian Cancer Foundations tips on choosing sunscreen products that are available and safe for children. Health Canada regulates the safety, effectiveness, and quality of sunscreens in Canada. Sunscreen products are classified as drugs and must meet the requirements in Canada's Food and Drugs Act before they may be imported,advertised, or sold in this country. Because of this regulation by Health Canada, we require your permission to provide sunscreen to your child
Field trips are taken in our 14 passenger Variety Club Vans, 18, 20 and 21 passenger buses, 47 passenger school bus, and a rented 72 passenger school bus driven by Class 2 and Class 4 drivers. Daily trips are posted at the centre, please check the board daily.
Spare Time will maintain legal ratios and always provide the most careful supervision possible. If you have any further questions or comments, please do not hesitate to see your centre supervisor.
If it is a severe allergy or if your child has asthma, once you are accepted into the summer program, please complete the Anaphylaxis care plan or Asthma care plan which is found on our website under the Registration tab, on the “Forms” page, if there is not already one at the centre.

Community Care Facilities Licensing requires us to apply for an exemption for children who are not yet in school to attend our programs.
Parents registering children who will be attending Kindergarten in September 2024, are asked to write a short letter requesting early placement in school age child care for the summer. Please include the following in your letter:
You can write the letter in the space provided below or submit one to the centre as soon as possible. Please provide the letter as soon as your summer weeks have been confirmed, as it must be submitted to licensing and approved before your child can attend.
One of the goals of the Spare Time Centres is to design programs that meet the needs of each of our age groups. We believe that as children grow older, they should be given all possible opportunities to exhibit more responsible behaviour and independence of action.
One of our age groups - Loungers - can benefit and develop by being allowed to organize and participate in certain activities with "Intermittent Supervision."
Activities carried out with "Intermittent Supervision" are controlled but not with our otherwise constant visual checking. Rather, participants are checked at carefully timed intervals by a staff person, allowing them room for development of this responsibility and independence of action.
Intermittent Supervision activities could include:
