All refunds will be prorated from the time the refund request is received IN WRITING, which can be done by fax, mail, email or in person. If your program gets cancelled, you will receive a FULL refund. Cancellation Forms are now available on our website under the registration link. REFUND POLICY ADVANCED AQUATIC COURSES In order to receive a refund, cancellation requests for aquatic leadership courses must be received in writing at least five (5) business days prior to the start of the first class. The reason is that customers cannot register for these courses once the classes have begun and therefore the waitlist cannot be used to fill the vacancy. Also, because 100% mandatory attendance is required for these courses, it is not possible to enroll interested participants after the first class. RETURNED CHEQUES We know that mistakes sometimes happen but it is necessary to administer a charge for returned NSF cheques. If payment cannot be made, we reserve the right to cancel the registration or to revoke privileges until full payment is received by cash or credit card. STAFF TRAINING All staff receive training on code of conduct, accessibility, programming, Health and Safety, recognition of child abuse, policies and procedures, and leadership. Many of our staff have worked for the Town of Whitchurch-Stouffville for a number of years and are pursuing careers in recreation, social work and education. All staff maintain a current 1st aid and CPR Standard C and Leisure Centre staff also maintain Defibrillation certification TRANSFERS Transfers are accepted if space is available. Transfer requests will be accepted up until the 3rd week of the program. The first request is free but all requests after that will have a $10.00 charge. WAITLISTS Should your choice be full, you will be prompted to add your name to the waitlist. You may waitlist for as many program times as you would like but you must choose to either stay on a waitlist OR register for the same program at a different time – NOT BOTH. Once registered in a class, you will be removed from all waitlists for the same program. We make every effort to accommodate our waitlists. They do change constantly due to transfers, cancellations and the addition of new classes. Should a spot become available, you will be contacted by our Customer Service staff. If a message is left for you on an answering machine you will be given 48 hours to contact us to confirm you want that spot. If we do not hear from you within 48 hours, we will contact the next person on the waitlist. www.townofws.ca | spring + summer 2015 103 registration Sign up to receive Leisure news and events at www.townofws.ca/enews Receive timely notification of community programs, events, cancellations, and special dates community contacts COMMUNITY CONTACTS This list just covers non-profit organizations and service providers in the area of Leisure and Emergency services.
