MORE CHOICE AND FLEXIBILITY WITH RECIPROCAL PROGRAM REGISTRATION
Twelve Edmonton seniors centres allow reciprocal program registration. This means that members of a participating centre can register for instructional courses at another participating centre for the member rate, instead of paying a non-member rate.
What you need to know about reciprocal program registration: • Reciprocal registration applies to instructional courses only. However, some centres will accept reciprocal registration for social events, non- instructional programming and clubs. Check with the centre you want to register with. • You must show a valid membership card from one of the participating centres to register. • Participating centres have different registration procedures, so contact the centre to find out what you need to know to register.
