Do you have any other questions? 

There is no cost to be involved. Parents must complete the registration form in order for students to get the ACT-i-Pass. Once the form is completed they have access to free programs from July to June.

Grade 5 students have been chosen because research shows that physical activity begins to decrease in children as early as age 9. The ACT-i-Pass helps grade 5 students stay active!

There is no obligation to sign up or pay for anything after the program year ends. This pass is simply meant to encourage healthy, active lifestyles among our youth, entirely for free and with no obligation.

Unfortunately transportation is not included. Programs have been set-up around London so that participants can choose programs that are closest to them. If your child is interested in using their pass at the Boys & Girls Club, they do have a bus that picks up children at several locations each weekday throughout the school year. For more information about the Boys & Girls Club bus and its schedule, you may contact them at (519) 434-9114.

You can use the pass almost every day of the week for one or more locations/programs! See the current schedule for more details.

For many programs you can attend with your child, as the ACT-i-Pass includes a +1 guest option! Some programs do not have the capacity to include parents/guardians so please check with each partner for details.

Your child may bring one sibling or friend as their +1 guest depending on the program. If more than one sibling or friend want to attend, they will not receive free admission. Check with partners for age appropriate programs, costs, and rules.

All children in London can participation in this program, including those with special needs. Please contact the partner organizations to make arrangements to suit your child’s needs:

• YMCA of Western Ontario: (519) 667-3300

All programming provided by the ACT-i-Pass is offered for free by our recreation partners, including the Boys & Girls Club of London, the YMCA of Western Ontario, and the City of London.

Funding for the administration of the ACT-i-Pass program is provided by London’s Child & Youth Network and the Government of Ontario.

Funding to evaluate the ACT-i-Pass program is provided through grants awarded to Dr. Jason Gilliland and colleagues from Western University’s Human Environments Analysis Laboratory. The grants are from the Canadian Cancer Society and the Canadian Institute of Health Research.

The ACT-i-Pass is expected to run as usual this year, with a variety of service providers offering the program to grade 5 students. Unfortunately, due to COVID-19 the availability of programming may change throughout the year due to COVID-19 related restrictions and changing service provider capacity.  For the most up to date hours of operation and program offerings, please contact the service providers directly and regularly check the ACT-i-Pass website at playeveryday.ca.
