Fall Registration Begins Soon - Update your Location
We are making changes to the registration process for residents and non-residents. EG residents can register for Town recreation programs a week before non-residents.

Registration for users listed as an East Gwillimbury resident in ActiveNet will open before those who are not listed as a resident. East Gwillimbury ActiveNet users need to update their account address to ensure it lists “East Gwillimbury” as the city. Fall program registration opens on August 29 for residents and September 5 for non-residents.
