Residency Verification

From July 2, 2026, you will not be able to create new recreation registration (Xplor) accounts as we prepare to establish residency verification requirements ahead of the opening of the new Barr Homes Aquatic Centre. 

Starting July 2, 2026, if you live in Loyalist Township, you will need to verify your residency during your first visit to the W.J. Henderson Community Centre. We are doing this to ensure that Loyalist residents have priority registration access and are assigned the appropriate fees for program registrations and facility rentals. 

We appreciate your cooperation and understanding as we make these changes. 

Welcome to Recreation! From programs and aquatics to fitness, skating, events, and outdoor adventures across our parks and trails, all ages and abilities can stay active, connect with others, and enjoy our community all year round.
