Oakville Trafalgar Community Centre

After many years of waiting, we are delighted that the Oakville Trafalgar Community Centre will be opening this fall.  Due to Covid restrictions, it will be a soft opening, with the full menu of programming getting phased in over several weeks, and offerings will be  subject to change to reflect any evolving public health considerations.  Construction update can be found here while more programming detail will be available in September.   

 
The new facility will open with pre-booked drop-in activities in the pool, fitness area, gymnasium and multipurpose room.  Pre-registered multi session programs will be introduced later in the fall. During the initial phase of drop-in single session programs, staff will engage with the community through a variety of in-person and outreach initiatives to gauge community interest and demand for specific programs.

 

 
Phase 1 programs may include:

Aquatics Programming	General Programs	Fitness Programming
Drop in Programs: Length Swim Leisure Swim Family Swim Therapeutic Swim Gentle Water Fit/Water Fit Single session lessons Rental Programs: Oakville Aquatic Club (OAK) Rentals Potential for Masters Swim Rental	Drop in Programs: Sport Drop-in for Family, Youth & Adult Basketball Volleyball Pickle ball Badminton Multisport   Rental Opportunities: Potential for school board bookings in gymnasium for sports groups Pickle ball Oakville interested in space	Drop in Options: Walking Track Pilates Gentle Fit Bone & Joint Cardio Strength Body Conditioning Weight Room This would operate similar to other town facilities with equipment spaced 6 feet apart to maintain physical distancing and members/users would be required to choose as pre-registered time to use the facility.

 
The 2nd phase of program offerings is anticipated to begin in mid-October, following Thanksgiving. At this time pre-registered, multi-session programming, in addition to drop-in programs offered will be added. Registered sessions will be offered for up to 8 weeks (potential for 2 shorter sessions, 4 weeks in length).  All programs will adhere to the current health and safety guidelines in place at the start of the session including appropriate spacing and reduced capacities.
