Concussion awareness

The Rowan's Law concussion awareness rules came into effect on July 1, 2019. Although we do not offer competitive sports, we believe that every athlete, parent of an athlete, coach or official should be aware of the new legislation and concussion awareness resources.

Participate in Barrie recreation programs

The Township has an agreement with the City of Barrie that allows Springwater residents to participate in Barrie recreation programs at the same rate as a Barrie resident. Find Barrie recreation programs and registration details on their website.

Rzone

The Township of Springwater has a Rzone Policy that sets expectations for behaviour at our facilities and sports fields and in our parks and programs. The "R" in Rzone stands for respect and responsibility:

Responsibility for your actions
