Get Active. Be Healthy. Stay Safe.
Looking for a way to stay active for less? The municipality is pleased to offer fitness centres in many of our facilities with low membership costs. Memberships must be purchased onsite. To purchase a membership, please visit your facility of choice.
Halifax Regional Municipality values your patience as we have navigated the guidelines and restrictions implemented by the Nova Scotia Health Authority (NSHA). Access to our offered programs and services has been able to reach a stage where we will be reactivating memberships that were active as of March 17, 2020 effective April 1, 2021 and returning to our normal membership pricing structure.
We understand not all our past members are prepared to return considering the impacts of COVID-19. For this purpose, a credit for the remaining time will be placed on your account in lieu of reactivating your past membership. This will provide you with the choice of when you wish to return and for how long. Simply come by the front desk to purchase a new membership using the credit on account. This credit may also be used towards program registrations, day access, or room rentals.
