Childminding & Membership Contracts

Update regarding Childminding and Membership contracts. Please read the following update carefully, as there are important details regarding childminding and membership contracts.

Childminding is returning in early April! The Sportsplex is in the process of hiring childminding staff, and we will have an official start date available soon. Because of COVID-19 childminding will look different. Here’s what you need to know.

Childminding Schedule

Booking Childminding

Like everything else in the Sportsplex while operating during COVID-19, childminding will have to be booked ahead of time, as the number of children we can have safely is limited. The Sportsplex is not a licensed daycare, so daycare regulations do not apply to us.

• Childminding can be booked in 30-minute increments, up to a maximum of two hours.
• Childminding is free to members with family memberships, or with child memberships.
• Non-members, or members without family memberships pay a fee of $2.50 per 30 minutes.
• You can cancel your childminding booking up to two hours before it is scheduled to start, and a credit will be applied to your account. Cancellations less than 2 hours before the scheduled start time will not receive a credit.
• Parents must be in the building when your child is in childminding.
• Your child must be booked into childminding through their own MyRec account, the same as they would be booked in for an open skate, or open swim.
• We suggest you book your child into childminding at the same time you are booking your workout.
• For childminding, you enter the building at the time of the booking. For example, if your child is booked for 9:15 a.m., you and your child enter the building at 9:15 a.m. If you are booked for 10 a.m. in the fitness centre, you would book childminding for 9:45 a.m. then you have time to change and get to the fitness centre. 
• We will have limited toys that will be easily disinfected after each child. We discourage bringing your own toys as ensuring that sharing does not happen will be challenging for the staff.

Membership Contract

We have recently updated our membership contract, and it is now available on our website for download here. Please make sure you read it carefully, as we have changed the terms and conditions of cancellation and contract holds/freezes. The new contract goes into effect on April 1, with the return of regular membership rates. You can view the previous update regarding membership rates here.
