School may be getting ready to let out for the summer but there is still plenty for young people to do during the warmer months that won’t break the bank thanks to recreation pass programs in each of the Tri-Cities.

The city programs are:

• Coquitlam is offering its annual $20 youth recreation pass for kids up to 18 years old. The pass is valid from June 15 to Sept. 5 and gives the holder full access to city drop-in activities, including indoor and outdoor pools, the fitness centre (for teens 13 to 18), and drop-in sports like basketball, badminton and skating. The pass can be purchased online at www.coquitlam.ca/signmeup or in person at the Poirier Sport and Leisure Complex, City Centre Aquatic Complex, Pinetree community centre, Dogwood Pavilion and Glen Pine Pavilion.

• Port Moody is selling a similar $20 pass for children and youth up to 18 years that is valid from June 18 to Sept. 3. The pass can be used at outdoor swimming pools, gymnasium drop-in programs, fitness classes and youth activities. For more information, go to portmoody.ca.

• Port Coquitlam will also offer a $20 summer outdoor pool pass for young people up to 18. The city is also considering a $2 drop-in fee for outdoor pools, which was to be discussed at Tuesday’s council meeting.
