The Active Pass is a monthly membership that was created to be flexible around your active lifestyle. It offers affordable access to Strathcona County's recreation centres, and includes activities for all ages and levels of physical ability. Two pass options are available - the Active Pass and Active Pass+.
The Active Pass is a good option if you only require access to self-led drop-in activities within our facilities.
The Active Pass includes unlimited access to activities like:
Get your Active Pass
View all Active Pass activities
The Active Pass+ provides unlimited access to all drop-in activities included in the drop-in recreation calendar.
The Active Pass+Â includes:
Get your Active Pass+
View instructor-led Active Pass+ activities
Rates for the Active Pass and Active Pass+ are available for children, youth, young adults, seniors and households. Tots under 2 are provided free admission to our facilities.
Prices shown include GST
*A household is a maximum of 2 adults (18+ years) and unlimited children 17 years or younger living in the same household. A household cannot combine different types of passes and qualify for household pricing.
*Household pricing makes sense when a household is paying more than $145/month for Active Passes, or more than $155/month for Active Pass+. Household pricing ensures your pass cost is capped.
*Active Pass household pricing is not available for purchase online. Please visit a recreation facility to sign up for a household Active Pass or Active Pass+.

Active Pass memberships can be purchased online or in-person using a credit card*. You can also sign up for automatic bank withdrawals (in-person only).
*Please note that VISA debit transactions are not currently accepted for monthly Active Pass memberships or online program registrations. A VISA debit can only be used or one time purchases in facilities.
Active Pass memberships can be cancelled at any time by visiting a recreation facility or by emailing recreation@strathcona.ca. Please note that automatic withdrawals happen on the 15th day of each month. If you wish to cancel, it's best to plan to process or request your cancellation prior to the 10th day of the month so you won't be charged on the upcoming payment run.
While a one-month pass includes the same access to activities as the Active Pass+, it's a non-continuous pass and is therefore sold at a higher cost. This approach is unchanged from when we sold the continuous Millennium Card, and this cost strategy is an industry standard across government and privately-run recreation facilities.
We do encourage guests who are able to sign up for a continuous Active Pass or Active Pass+ to take advantage of the lower average cost, and we also offer alternatives such as the 10-visit pass (sold at a 10% discount vs. daily admission rates) and the one-month option. All available admission options are listed on our recreation admission rates page.
When our recreation facilities closed on March 13, 2020 due to the COVID-19 pandemic, Millennium Card recurring memberships were temporarily suspended. Due to privacy laws, all customer payment information was removed from our systems in 2021, and Millennium Card memberships were permanently cancelled in April 2022.
While our facilities were closed, we took the opportunity to further understand how the card was being used by our community, what could be improved upon and how a continuous membership could provide increased flexibility. It was also the perfect time to rebrand it into something new to reflect the exciting new direction we’re taking the membership.
In January 2022, the Active Pass was first phased in as an interim one-month pass and transitioned as the new recurring membership option in April 2022.
