The City is implementing the Restoring Richmond Plan, a carefully planned step-by-step approach to reopening services, amenities and facilities impacted by COVID-19. See Affected City Services & Facilities for current service and amenity information.
Summer 2020 Registration PostponedWith facilities still closed, the City of Richmond has postponed 2020 summer registration of community programs and services at this time. Please check this page regularly or follow us on social media for up-to-date information.
City community centres, the Seniors Centre at Minoru Centre for Active Living, arenas, pools, arts, culture and heritage facilities, libraries, continue to be closed until further notice. Parks, trails and public park washrooms remain open.
Spring 2020 Programs Cancelled
As City facilities remain closed due to COVID-19, all Spring registered programs have been cancelled. A credit for May and June registered program cancellations will be applied to customer accounts.
Staff will be working hard to process all May and June program credits as quickly as possible. If you would prefer a refund rather than an account credit or would like further information about the status of your registered programs, please contact the Registration Call Centre.
In addition, licensed child care, such as licensed preschool or out of school care, continues to be suspended. When facilities are re-opened and licensed child care is offered, registrants will be notified.
Rentals of City facilities and sports fields for activities also continues to be suspended until further notice.
If you have any questions, call the Registration Call Centre 604-276-4300, Monday to Friday from 8:30am to 5:00pm (excluding statutory holidays) or email reghelp@richmond.ca.
