What the program covers
The program provides unlimited leisure-centre drop-in admission, one registered recreation program each year, Nutrien Playland ride tickets and single-use family passes to the Western Development Museum. Museum passes depend on supply.
Free child minding is available for children six and under at Lakewood Civic Centre, Shaw Centre and Saskatoon Field House while their parent or guardian participates in a facility activity. The program is for residents within Saskatoon; a nearby municipality address does not meet that requirement.

There is no application deadline. The city sends confirmation after an online submission and normally emails a decision within three to six weeks.
