Recreation fee assistance
 The Municipality of Port Hope believes that everyone should have the chance to participate. Recreation fee assistance is available to those who live in the Municipality.
 Changes, refunds, and cancellations
Any changes or refunds to a program registration will be charged the $16.75 administrative fee. The administrative fee will be waived for refunds with medical proof. Refund cheques requested after the start of a session will be pro-rated based on the number of classes completed.

If you would prefer to have a credit on your account instead of a refund cheque, the administrative fee will be waived. Programs will be pro-rated with a credit on account.

If a program is cancelled due to insufficient registration you will be notified. When possible, a different time or day will be offered. If the alternate day does not work for you, a full refund or credit will be given. There is no administration fee for programs cancelled by the Municipality.
