By now you will have received your spring and summer Town of Halton Hills Community Guide and be planning what programs your family will register for this coming season. Families should be aware of a new form that’s been added to the online registration process. An online participant information form will now be part of online registrations for all children and youth programs. “This will ensure that for all online registrations we’ll already have all the vital information we need for the children that will be in our care when programs begin later on, says Mandy Duncan, Recreation Supervisor. We tested the new online form with our winter dance and instructional programs with great results. The need to follow up with parents about missing medical and contact information went down considerably which is good for families and good for us.”
The first time using this online form, you’ll need to complete one form per child for every program they are being registered for. After this initial entry, the information is saved for you to accept if still valid or to update the next time you register. It may take a bit longer to register but don’t worry! Once you’ve put a program in your basket, the spot is reserved as you complete the form.
Recreation & Parks offers a helpful hint for registering in more than one program. Register your child in one program, proceed to CHECKOUT to complete the online participant information form, and submit credit card payment for that program. Then go back and register for all other programs. The previously saved information can be quickly accepted for each following program.
