COVID 19 - MUNICIPAL SERVICES IMPACTS

The Township of Springwater is taking precautions to help protect our vulnerable residents. Following a meeting of the Emergency Management Team the Township has made the difficult decision to cancel all programming and close some facilities, effective Friday, March 13 at 12 midnight. The closures and cancellations will remain in effect until further notice.

NEW THIS YEAR!

The Township of Springwater Recreation, Parks & Facilities Department has upgraded its recreation registration system, providing users with improved online functionality and more convenient access to programs and services.

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:
