There are various fee options available based on the recreation facility, how often you plan on visiting and the type of activity you take part in. You can choose between monthly continuous options, single-visit admission, 10-day, one-month or annual passes based on what works best with your personal lifestyle.
If you plan on visiting Strathcona County recreation facilities on a regular basis, an Active Pass monthly membership offers the best value. It provides unlimited access to our recreation facilities, and you can choose between two membership options (Active Pass and Active Pass+) based on the type of activities you prefer.
Daily admission rates vary depending on the facility you're visiting, and several rate options are available based on your age.
Daily admission rates at Millennium Place include access to all drop-in and pre-booked activities, including instructor-led classes. GST included.
*A household is a maximum of two 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.

Did you know? A 10-visit pass is also available at our facilities. It offers a 10% discount (it costs the same as 9Â individual visits), does not expire and is a good alternative for those who visit often but do not wish to sign up for an Active Pass membership.
A one-month (non-continuous) pass option is available if you do not wish to sign up for an Active Pass+Â continuous monthly membership, however it has a higher cost than an Active Pass membership. GST included.
Did you know? As part of Everybody Gets to Play, the Recreation Access Program offers subsidized recreation for lower income families in Strathcona County.
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.
Daily admissions do not apply across our facilities. Each facility has their own price point for daily admissions based on varying amenities and activity options.
