Enhanced Youth Programming

Funded by the Government of Manitoba, the City of Brandon's EYP initiative provides youth ages 8 to 15 FREE recreational and skill-building afterschool programming, in safe, non-judgemental spaces. Activities include hands-on workshops, creative projects, sports and fitness, social events and more.

EYP programming is drop-in friendly and does not require regular attendance. However, a registration form must be completed by a parent or guardian prior to participating. There is no fee for registration, and there are no added costs for any activities.

Please bring a completed registration form to the activity site on the first day of participation, or scan and send completed from to recreation@brandon.ca prior to attending. Forms will also be available at each location to complete in person.

Registration Forms:

Participants Ages 8-11

Participants Ages 12-15

*If you are 16 – 18 years old and interested in becoming a Jr. Leader you can talk to our Rec Team at the program, or fill out this form and send it to recreation@brandon.ca

Rules and Regulations

Three Strike Policy

A three-strike policy will be put in place for the youth participants of the program. If any youth fails to behave or abide by the guidelines, they will be asked to leave for the remainder of the night.

Strike 1: If a youth consistently fails to listen to staff and does not abide by the guidelines, they will be asked to leave for the remainder of the night and will not be able to attend the following week/night the program is open.

Strike 2: If this behaviour continues, the youth participant will then be sent home with a suspension of two weeks from Enhanced Youth Programming.

Strike 3: After a youth has had a two-week suspension from Enhanced Youth Programming and continues to not listen to staff, misbehave or not abide by the guidelines, the youth will then be suspended indefinitely, or until he/she, along with a parent or guardian, meets with the Enhanced Youth Programmer.
