ActiveRH - Frequently Asked Questions

What is ActiveRH?

ActiveRH is Richmond Hill’s online registration system that makes it easier for you to search, register and pay for Recreation and Culture programs and memberships from any computer, tablet or mobile device. This allows you to register, make payments, and manage your profile at your convenience.

Can more than one person have access to my family account?

Yes. Up to two parents can create personal accounts and link them to the family account.

What if I don’t have an email address?

An email address is required to create or access your account on ActiveRH. Your online account provides better access to registration, membership and facility booking services, including convenient registration, detailed account history information and much more. If you are unable to provide an email address, you are able to register at the front desk instead of online.
