The Program and Activities Guide is published four times a year. It includes full details on all City of Waterloo programs for all ages. As well, we accept advertising from local businesses and nonprofit groups offering services with a leisure, sports or cultural emphasis. It's your complete resource for fun in the City of Waterloo!

Copies of the Guide are delivered with the Pennysaver Smart Shopper to homes in Waterloo. The Fall 2010 edition is now available. You can also pick up a Guide free of charge at any City of Waterloo facility.

The Fall Guide includes the schedule for public skate and swim programs, swimming lessons, and many more exciting activities. Information on City of Waterloo programs can also be found in the searchable database of our online registration program ExpressReg.

Download the complete Guide or only those sections you are interested in below. Watch for the Winter Guide in early December 2010, in the Pennysaver Smartshopper.

For more details on program registration, please see How to Register.
