Delta's Grade Five & Six Recreation Pass Program

Grade Fives in Delta are free all year... free to use all drop in skating and swimming programs, that is, once they activate their Grade Five Pass. The passes are good from September 1, 2009 to August 31, 2010.

Grade Five Passes are available to Delta residents attending grade five for the 2009-2010 school year. With the pass, they will be able to attend any public skate or swim session. As well, a Grade Five Pass holder can bring along a person over the age of 13 each time they use their pass. To get the pass started, students bring their birth certificate and proof of address to the customer service office in any of Delta's recreation facilities, have their photo taken for the pass card and they'll be able to swim or skate right away. Students whose birth year is not 1999 need a note from their teacher or principal affirming enrollment in grade five.

The Grade Six Ten Admission Pass extends the free admission period to grade six students who live in Delta. Students can pick up the free cards at their local recreation facility, and can use the ten free admissions at any time after it is issued.

With increased interest across the nation in childhood fitness and healthy lifestyles, Delta's pass has served as a template for similar recreation programs in BC and across Canada including Coquitlam and the Tri-Cities area, Richmond and Kitchener, Ontario.
