UCalgary Active Living
Welcome back! We are now opening limited programs and facilities. See the details below.
Active Living Welcomes You Back
We are excited to announce we are initiating the first stage of re-opening a number of our recreation programs and facilities. Find out what's new.
The Fitness Centre is only reopening to students on the physical campus who have paid mandatory campus recreation fees for the fall. The tentative date to re-open is September 14. However, we may open to others in the coming weeks dependent on capacity.
We are incorporating new safety guidelines as we prepare to open a limited number of registered programs for the greater community including online students, staff, faculty, and public.
Stay tuned as we will share updates on each program page. See the list to the right.
Opening soon
