Starting August 21: ID is required for all visitors aged 16 and older for drop-in access.

Bring Your ID: New Drop-In Requirement Starting August 21

Attention Patrons:

To support a safe and welcoming environment for everyone using the Canada Games Aquatic Centre, we are introducing an identity-verification process for drop-in visitors. Effective starting with our Toonie Swim on Friday, August 21, 2026, and for all drop-in visits going forward.

Visitors aged 16 and older will be required to present an acceptable form of identification when their CGAC account is first created or verified for drop-in access.

Acceptable identification may include:

  • Provincial driver's licence
  • Passport
  • Other approved government-issued photo identification

For drop-in visitors ages 16–18, a valid student ID may also be accepted as an alternative form of identification. Advance verification by a parent or legal guardian may also be available for visitors in this age group who do not have government-issued photo identification.

Drop-in visitors aged 16 and older who cannot provide an acceptable form of identification or complete an approved verification option will not be permitted to enter for drop-in access.

Your identification is visually verified only. It will not be scanned, photocopied, photographed or retained, and identification numbers will not be recorded.


Save time before you arrive:

You can create your CGAC account in advance to help make your visit quicker. Click here or call us at (506) 658-4715. Any required identity verification will still need to be completed, but setting up your account ahead of time can help make your visit quicker.

If you are attending a busy drop-in activity, including Toonie Swim or Fun Swim, and your account has not yet been verified, we recommend arriving a few minutes early to allow additional time for check-in.

Thank you for helping us maintain a safe and welcoming environment at the Canada Games Aquatic Centre.
