PINs and Barcodes

1. What are "Client Barcodes" and "Family PINs" and how can I get them?
Every member of your family has their own individual Barcode that identifies them in the system. However, there is only ONE Personal Identification Number (PIN) that is shared by your family members that allows you to log on to the system. Your PIN should be kept confidential and can be changed by going to My Account link in the top navigation.

If you have never registered for a course before and you would like a Client Barcode and Family PIN, please complete our signup application.

2. I forgot my Client Barcodes and/or PINs. What should I do now?
If your email address is in our database, you can click on the "I forgot my Client Barcode or Family PIN" link under the "My Account" tab where you log into the system. Only the Main Contact's Barcode and Family PIN number will be e-mailed to you to access your family account. You can select any family member to register from the drop-down list under "My Basket" tab. If you do not receive your access codes, you may need to add our e-mail address rec.info@mississauga.ca to your frequent contacts e-mail or "safe list" to obtain their delivery. Or, if your email address is not recognized, you will receive a message that we were unable to email the information to you, and you should call the Customer Service Centre during business hours at 905-615-4100 or email us the Main Contact's e-mail address to be added. Be sure to include your name, home phone number and address. We ask you call our office (905-615-4100) to verify we are talking to the right person and you are able to verbally provide your log-in information. Or you may visit your local community centre and obtain your client barcode and PIN in person.

3. I am a Non-Resident; do I qualify for access codes?
Non-residents are eligible to register through the Internet. There is, an additional $10.00 fee per course per person and registration is available 10 days after the first day of registrations.

4. I signed into my account with a family member's Client Barcode instead of mine (main contact). What happens?
It does not matter which Barcode you use to enter the system. These numbers are to ensure that you have the correct family account. When you "add" an activity to your basket, select the correct family member you wish to register. If you have signed in and registered using another family member's Barcode, the receipt and payment will go through under the name of the Main Contact.

1. I would like to add one or more family members to my account. How do I do this?
If you are adding a family member and require a barcode, log-in to your account, select "My Account", then select "Add new registrant." 2. I would like to change my mailing or e-mail address. How can I do this? In order to change your mailing or e-mail address in the system, please log-in your account and select "My Account" from the toolbar.

3. How can I print a receipt?
If you need to print an official receipt, log-in, select "My Account", select the History button beside the client for which you would like a receipt and select the E-Mail Receipt button and it will automatically be e-mailed to the e-mail address noted on your account.

Note: This will only apply if you have an e-mail address in our database. To verify, go to My Account, select the Details button beside the Main Contact (noted as MC). If one does not exist, or needs to be updated, please refer to the question #2. Receipts can only be printed prior to the end of the registration session or as long as the session is "active". If the session is no longer active, please contact the Customer Service Centre as an administration fee will apply.

4. What e-mail address should my family provide for Active Mississauga?
Only the e-mail address of the Main Contact is logged into the system. This enables the account holder to control who has access to the family PIN with the "I Forgot My PIN & Barcode" function.

5. I would like to find out more information about your Refund Policy.
To find out more, click here.

6. What can I do if I am denied access to my Account?
There are four reasons why you may have been locked out of your account:

1. You entered 5 invalid logins to access your account (including trying to enter your PIN number in the Barcode area). Please contact the Customer Service Centre at 905-615-4100 to unlock your account.

It may take up to 4 hours to clear on its own.

To search, view and register for a course:

1. Select "Registered Program" or "Drop in program" in the top navigation.
2. Choose an area of interest listed on the left side of the screen OR
3. Enter the name of the program or keywords in the "Search" box.

Note: Most Aquatic courses have a long response time therefore we recommend you select a specific facility using the search filters before performing a keyword search.

2. How do I register for a course?

1. Search for programs by selecting the "Registered Program" (Refer to additional information under question #1 - If I do not know the course code, how do I search?)
2. Bookmark your selection or use the Register button to move into the check-out system.
3. Enter your Client Barcode and Family PIN.
4. For each registration select the family member you wish to register from the Client Selection drop box.
5. Once you have all your selected courses in your basket, proceed to the check-out system.

3. How can I tell if a course is available or if I have been Waitlisted?
When searching for a course, before adding it to your basket, there will either be an Register or Waitlist button. On rare occasions, clients may simultaneously select Register to register for the last available spot for the same course. If this occurs, the unsuccessful client(s) will automatically be waitlisted. When viewing My Basket, check to see if a course fee appears under the Fee column, indicating that you are registered, or if the word Waitlist appears, indicating the course is full and that you have been waitlisted.

Please note:

1. If you waitlist for a course, log out, and then later register (under a separate activemississauga.ca session) for the same course name (but a different course number) the waitlist position will automatically be deleted by the system. If you still wish to be waitlisted for that course, you must log back in and re-waitlist again.
2. However, the above does not apply if you register first, log out, and then back in to waitlist.

6. How will I know if a spot becomes available after I have waitlisted?
As positions constantly change on waitlists, we cannot confirm your waitlist position due to transfers and cancellations. However, a confirmation will be emailed to you indicating the participant that has been waitlisted. If a spot should become available due to another person cancelling or transferring out of the class, you will receive an email from the Customer Service Centre. At that time you can decide whether to take or decline the spot. You must accept the space before the end of the next business day by either calling the Customer Service Centre or by visiting your local community centre.

7. How can I find out my position on the Waitlist?
We are not permitted to confirm your present waitlist position as positions constantly change due to transfers and cancellations. However, you may register in another class and on the chance your waitlisted course becomes available, you will be contacted to confirm if you wish to be transferred back to your original preference - as long as it is before the start of the second class. No fees will be charged for doing this.

8. What is the procedure for registering if a participant is the incorrect age?
The system will not allow you to register if the participant does not meet the required age at the start of the program. Since a signed registration form is required by you with a method of payment, please complete the registration form online and drop it off at any community centre. Please note that some registration forms may require special authorization.
