Park Board Expands Online Registration to Kitsilano Community Centre

August 9, 2004 (No. 59) - The Vancouver Park Board added another special online service to its web site today which will allow patrons of Kitsilano Community Centre to register from their home computer for a wide variety of recreation programs offered at this location.

This feature is an expansion of our on-line community centre recreation services which were piloted in early March at Kerrisdale and Trout Lake Community Centres. Following successful completion of the pilot project, the system is being incrementally expanded to include all Park Board swimming pools, skating rinks and community centres.

The new online registration program can be found at www.vancouverparks.ca under Recreation Programs.
