  • Youth Orientation

    The safety of youth at Westside is a top priority.

    We believe that orienting young people to safety and behavioral expectations reduces risk and promotes a respectful, enjoyable environment for everyone.

    Orientations only take about 30-60 minutes, depending on the type and level. They're free and once you're done you can visit the Youth Wellness Centre, youth drop-in fitnesss classes as well as our Aquatic Park, Leisure Ice and Gymnasiums.

    Check out the orientation level you’ll need and plan ahead so you can get the most out of your visit.
