Active living

Stay active in our drop-in programs (with a small fee) and paid registered programs in the Empire Homes Active Living Centre.

  • A 40% discount on drop-in fees at the ALC ($3 instead of $5)
  • Early registration access to existing Day Camp, March Break Camp, and Specialty Camp programming where identified (recreation and heritage and culture). As the existing programming allotment is usually fully booked, this will incentivize membership sign-ups and increase revenue for Haldimand County
