A great fit for summer: The Tony Graham Youth Workout Pass
This summer, Ottawa's youth have an exciting opportunity to stay active and healthy, thanks to the Tony Graham Youth Workout Pass↗. Now in its third year, this initiative is part of a ten-year partnership between Tony Graham Automotive Group and the City of Ottawa, aimed at investing in recreation programming for youth across our city.
What is the Tony Graham Youth Workout Pass?
The Tony Graham Youth Workout Pass offers a free weight and cardio-room membership to Ottawa youth aged 13 to 17. This pass is valid from July 2 to August 31, providing a fantastic chance for young residents to engage in physical activity during the summer months.
Eligibility and requirements
To qualify for the pass, participants must:
Be a resident of Ottawa
Be between the ages of 13 and 17
Have a consent form signed by a parent or guardian
For participants aged 13 to 15, an orientation session is mandatory to ensure safe and effective use of the facilities. While youth aged 16 and 17 do not require an orientation session, it is highly recommended.
