Resident Notice & Advisory
The Council of the Town of Petrolia approved a Pilot Program at a special meeting of council on Monday, July 29, that will see residents able to purchase reduced price swim passes. The Pilot Program that starts September 1, 2024, and runs through August 31, 2025, will see the following prices in place for residents:
AGE/GROUP | NUMBER OF PASSES | PRICE |
Youth Pass (12 and under) no HST | 10 | $70 ($7 per visit) |
Adult Pass | 10 | $110 ($11 per visit) |
Senior Pass | 10 | $100 ($10 per visit) |
Family Pass | 10 | $225 ($22.50 per visit) |
The Pilot Program was added following resident feedback about the price of swimming and swimming lesson availability at the Petrolia YMCA. The Pilot will be assessed quarterly throughout the year.
To purchase the swim passes, residents can do so in person at the Petrolia Municipal Office starting September 3, 2024, and then between 8:30 a.m. and 4:30 p.m. for the remainder of the Pilot. Passes can also be purchased online by visiting https://town.petrolia.on.ca/residents/ymca/ starting September 1, 2024. The receipt is then shown at the Petrolia YMCA in exchange for the pass.
The passes are only redeemable at the Petrolia YMCA and are only available for purchase by Petrolia residents. Passes can be used for open swim, aquatics classes and lane swim, but cannot be used for swimming lessons. In addition to the Pilot Program for swim passes, the Petrolia YMCA will offer swimming lessons for non-members starting in the fall of 2024. Once Y Everything members have had the opportunity to register, non-members will be able to register for both group and private lessons at a later date. Group lessons will be $16.50 per lesson; private lesson pricing is coming soon. This is not part of the Pilot Program; it will become part of the regular Petrolia YMCA operations.
Petrolia’s sixth annual Harvestfest meal tickets are available now. The sixth annual event, scheduled for Saturday, September 14, 2024, is shaping up to be another culinary delight, artfully prepared by Culinary Catering. This skillful and creative team will be assisted during the event by Town of Petrolia volunteers.
This event features food, beverage, table decorations, dishes and utensils, and entertainment all sourced from Petrolia Farmers’ Market Vendors where possible, and otherwise within 100 km of Petrolia. This celebration of all things local is a very popular harvest event each year, and tickets sell quickly.
We are pleased to announce the following sponsors, with more to be added as the event nears: Albany Retirement Village, Barb and Rick Charlebois, Bourque Renovations, Beth Hackett Insurance Agency Ltd. and TD Canada Trust.
Entertainment for this year will be Rob Kirkham and Neon Rain from Sarnia area! Local wine, beer and cider will be available at a cash bar at the event. As it is a big year for Petrolia, celebrating Petrolia’s 150th anniversary of incorporation, look for a few surprises too!
Following last year’s success, tickets will be sold again in groups of six, enough for a table. Tables will enjoy family-style dining once again in our outdoor space at the Petrolia Farmers’ Market pavilion. Folks looking for single tickets or for groups smaller than six will be added to the waiting list.
