Registration tips

• Follow our Facebook page – Prior to registration opening, an announcement will be made on the City of Yellowknife’s Facebook page.
• Use the waitlist – Additional courses are added to the schedule based on the number of registrants on the waitlist and staff availability.
• Register based on ability – Children must be registered in the level recommended by their previous instructor. Those who do not follow this policy will be removed from the class if it is determined that they are not in the correct level. If there are no spaces left in the proper level, students will have to wait until the next available session to register in the appropriate class.
