Shaunavon Wellness and Leisure rolled out a new online registration platform last week that aims to streamline the process for both participants and organizers.

According to the director of Shaunavon Wellness and Leisure Alexis Hunt, their current offerings include soccer, spring league basketball, and swimming lessons. These activities can be found online, where you can also pay the registration fee using a credit card.

To make it easier to find what you’re looking for, the activities are organized by season. For example, soccer and spring league basketball are listed under the “spring” category, while swimming lessons can be found under “summer”.

When parents register, they need to create a family profile and then add their children as family members. This allows them to register their kids for various activities.

Hunt noted that some people have asked about purchasing season passes for the pool, which are not currently available on the online platform.

However, people can still register  online as a pass holder, and when the pool opens, they can buy their pass and receive their card.

“We’ll also have a point-of-sale system at the pool, so we can accept debit and credit card payments there now through this same system,” said Hunt.

The new system had a soft launch last Wednesday at the annual Spring/Summer Community Registration Night at the Veren Wickenheiser Centre.

“We’ve had a few registrations already,” said Hunt the morning after the soft launch. “There have been a couple for basketball, and a few for swimming lessons. I was chatting with a mom who signed up her three children for swimming lessons, and she said it was a pretty simple process on her end.”

Once the system is set up, it’s easy to use, and people can go back and look at their registration history. For example, parents can check which swimming lesson their child was in last year and use it to guide their current selections.

It’s also important to point out that people who may not be comfortable with the online registration process can still reach out to Alexis for help.

“I think it’ll be a pretty smooth system once the community gets used to it,” said Hunt. “But people can still always reach out to me if they need any help with the registration process or anything like that. I can help them through the process, or we can work together to add clients and register them for courses or programs on my end as well.”

The new system has also made it easier to complete other tasks, such as signing waivers for certain activities, which can now be done online.

All the information about programs, including one-off or free events, will also be available through the portal.

Other Wellness and Leisure directed programs, such as recreational volleyball and pickleball, which start later in the year, will also be added to the online registration portal.

These sorts of online systems are being implemented in communities across Saskatchewan as more and more services move to online formats.

As a sign of how people are now looking for alternative ways to register for programs, attendance for the in-person Community Registration Night was relatively small last week.

Meanwhile, some larger organizational entities, such as minor hockey and ball, maintain their own online registration programs.
