A new pilot project will let people with memberships at any Halifax-run facility get discounted day rates at all facilities in the municipality.

The “One Membership” pilot program, which received approval from regional council in January, allows people with active memberships to receive a 75 per cent discount on day pass rates at facilities outside of their home location.

“Residents with an annual paid-in-full or ongoing monthly, bi-weekly or roll-over membership can participate,” a news release from the municipality reads. “When visiting another facility, residents are asked to check in at the front desk and provide their membership information to receive the discounted rate.”

The participating facilities in the program are:

• Canada Games Centre in Halifax
• Zatzman Sportsplex in Dartmouth
• Cole Harbour Place
• St. Margaret’s Centre in Upper Tantallon
• Findlay Community Centre in Dartmouth
• Gordon R. Snow Community Centre in Fall River
• Chocolate Lake Recreation Centre in Halifax
• Musquodoboit Harbour Recreation Centre
• Musquodoboit Valley Recreation Office
• Sheet Harbour Recreation Office-Seaside Fitness Centre
• Captain William Spry Community Centre in Spryfield
• Sackville Sports Stadium in Lower Sackville
• North Preston Community Centre

Staff will return to council with the results from the pilot program in late 2027.
