To reserve a facility booking or a court, click on the specific facility (i.e., tennis, squash, rinks, pickleball, etc.), located on the green menu bar at the top of the screen. 6. Please note that for facility bookings each member must log into the website individually to book for an activity under their name.

HELPFUL TIPS

• Ensure you are aware of any prerequisites that may be required for a class, as participants who are not at the correct level may be withdrawn by the Head Pro or Coordinator before the start date.

• The system will not notify you if you have registered in courses that run on the same day and time, so be aware of class conflicts.

• If the class you want is full when you try to register, add yourself to the waitlist. As spaces become available, waitlisted participants will automatically be registered for the program or facility and be notified by email. Please ensure your email address is up to date and remove yourself from waitlists if no longer needed.

• Be sure to familiarize yourself with all cancellation policies listed on each page of this brochure and on the details for each class in GameTime. A reminder email will be sent to registrants in advance of the cancellation deadline for the activity. It is up to the member to cancel within the designated timeline.

WINTER SESSION

STATUTORY HOLIDAYS

Group programs are not scheduled to take place on statutory holidays or weekends when a statutory holiday falls on a Monday or Friday, and program fees have been calculated accordingly. Exceptions include group fitness classes. Holiday weekend schedules and hours will be posted online at arbutusclub.com.

CLUB COACHING POLICY

The use of professional instructors or coaches from outside the Club is not permitted. Only those who have been contracted by the Club may teach on Club premises.

PROGRAM FEES

All program and related fees will be billed to your member account. Regular weekly programs will be billed monthly for the duration of the program. Workshops and short-term activities will be billed in the month they occur.

ACTIVITY & SPORT ASSOCIATION FEES

Some program areas are required to have members register with their provincial sport governing association for the purpose of insurance coverage to participate in tournaments and events. These fees may be billed seasonally or yearly and are listed on the program pages for which they apply. Some areas also have activity fees, billed seasonally or yearly, and are used to pay for special equipment, gifts, awards, seasonal parties, events, and other program enhancements.

Tuesday, JANUARY 3, 2023

— to Sunday, MARCH 12, 2023

UNDERAGE REGISTRATION POLICY

Children under age for a specific program must receive approval from the Coordinator/Director of that program before registering. If permission is given, underage participants must register with the Recreation Services Desk directly so that we may bypass the established age restriction. Please note that receiving advanced approval does not guarantee a spot in the program.

PROGRAM APPROVALS

Some programs require approval from the Coordinator/Director of the activity area, prior to registering, to ensure participants are at a required level for the class. If a member is incorrectly registered for a class, the Coordinator/Director reserves the right to remove them and recommend another class more suitable for their age or skill level. If an alternative class is not available, the member will be removed from the class.

REGISTRATION WAITLISTS

During the initial days of each registration period, it is recommended to make use of the wait list feature if you do not secure your preferred program dates and times. As space becomes available for the program, waitlisted participants will automatically be registered and notified by email. If you no longer want a spot in the class, please remove yourself or your child from the waitlist, or from the class upon receipt of the notification. You may also contact the Registration Desk at registration@arbutusclub.com to cancel any classes or waitlists.

MISSED/MAKE-UP CLASSES

If you miss a class for any reason, it is the decision of the Coordinator/Director of each activity area, as to whether they can accommodate a make-up lesson. Most activity areas do not offer this option as it is disruptive to participants registered and is challenging for staff to accommodate.

CHILDREN UNDER 8 YEARS

A parent/caregiver (16yrs+) must always accompany children under 8 years old while in the Club. You must drop off and pick up your child for all programs as children under 8 years of age will not be released from the program on their own.

ALLERGY AWARE

Recreation Services Staff are allergy aware and request that parents do not pack snacks for their children that contain common allergens, such as peanuts. If your child has an allergy, you would like us to be aware of, please contact the Recreation Services Desk and we will notify the instructor.

GUEST POLICY

Recreation programs and events are restricted to members only, unless otherwise noted. A limited number of guests may be permitted to attend 25 Year Club events, special youth events and various one-time workshops, if space permits before the event date.

PROGRAM FEEDBACK

We welcome your feedback about our programs, camps, services, and events at any time in person, by phone or by email. We also have an evaluation form available online at arbutusclub.com/services/recre ation if you would like to complete it anonymously.

ACTIVITY COMMITTEES

The success of our activity areas is in large part due to the contributions made by volunteer Committee members. If you would like to participate in one of our Activity Committees, please fill out an application form available at Club Reception or email Craig Mercer at cmercer@arbutusclub.com.

Brian fell in love with the game in grade 8 while playing in Port Moody on his school’s beach volleyball court and never slowed down. At 20 years of age, he moved to Toronto to train with the national team and compete on the world stage in beach volleyball. A student of the game, he is now an international referee with a goal to represent Canada at the 2024 and 2028 Olympics.
