Despite the ongoing cloudy and rainy weather, summer is fast approaching.

The City of Barrie confirmed that registration for their summer recreation and culture programs opens next week at 8 a.m. Tuesday morning.

Residents will be able to sign up for programs such as swimming, dance and painting, reserve city facilities, or purchase memberships for summer recreation activities.

Registration will open online or on-site at the Allandale Recreation Centre, East Bayfield Community Centre and Peggy Hill Team Community Centre.

The city says they are also offering a financial assistance program, ‘recACCESS,’ for lower income families, similar to their ‘Camp Access’ program.

Registration for Barrie’s summer camps has been open since February and some still have space available according to the city.
