No or Low Cost Recreation

No or Low Cost Recreation is intended to offer RDCK families and individuals, who are facing financial barriers, to participate in various recreation programming opportunities across the region.

All programming opportunities are offered under the Community Services Financial Access & Inclusion policy. This policy aims to provide opportunities for RDCK residents, across the financial need spectrum, with opportunities to access recreation services.
