To enter, visitors must:

• Show proof of COVID-19 vaccination (print or digital)
• Show valid ID (e.g., health card, driver’s licence)
• Complete the screening form (RichmondHill.ca/Screening) 

Note additional health and safety measures are in place once inside, including face covering/mask requirements and physical distancing. If you are feeling unwell, please do not visit a facility.

  • sports leagues
  • organized pick-up sports
  • dance classes

Medical exceptions

Individuals who cannot receive the vaccine due to medical exemptions are required to present identification and appropriate written documentation from a physician or registered nurse stating the individual is exempt for a medical reason. 

Parents/guardians, spectators ages 12 and over and all other visitors who do not meet the exemption criteria above must provide proof of vaccination and show ID before entering. Where adult participation and/or supervision is required, the adult accompanying the individual must show proof of vaccination and ID before entering.

All visitors, regardless of exemption, must still complete the online screening form at RichmondHill.ca/Screening before entering and must adhere to other health and safety requirements when inside the facility.

Those who wish to withdraw from a program can contact recreation@richmondhill.ca.

Where applicable, you are encouraged to speak with your sports leagues and organizations for any additional requirements they may have implemented. 

The health and safety of our staff and visitors is a priority for the City. Thank you in advance for your cooperation.

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.

Withdrawal Policy

If applicable, please allow 2 to 4 weeks for refund processing. Submission of a form does not guarantee that a refund will be issued, and non-attendance at a program does not constitute a notice of withdrawal. Withdrawal requests will only be accepted through ActiveRH or by Withdrawal Request Form. Requests to “Refund to Account” are final.
