Families should be aware of a new form thats been added to the online registration process. An online participant information form will now be part of online registrations for all children and youth programs. This will ensure that for all online registrations well already have the vital information we need for the children that will be in our care when programs begin later on, says Mandy Duncan, Recreation Supervisor. We tested the new online form with our winter dance and instructional programs with great results. The need to follow up with parents about missing medical and contact infor- mation went down considerably which is good for families and good for us. The first time using this online form, youll need to complete one form per child for every program they are being registered for. After this initial entry, the information is saved for you to accept if still valid or to update the next time you register. It may take a bit longer to register but dont worry! Once youve put a program in your basket, the spot is reserved as you complete the form. Be ready to register online with Rege at www.haltonhills.ca or by automated phone with Tele-Reg at 905-873-2498. Make sure you have a Family PIN. If you do not have a Family PIN yet, apply by downloading a PIN Request form on the Town website and faxing to 905-873-1587 or dropping off at the Civic Centre, Gellert or Acton Arena.
