RecScout

Terms of Use

Effective November 12, 2026

These Terms of Use are the rules for using RecScout (recscout.ca). RecScout is a free, unofficial search tool that shows municipal recreation programs and drop-in schedules for Canadian cities. It is not affiliated with or endorsed by any municipality. By using the site, you agree to these terms.

Informational use only

RecScout is provided for information only. It is a search aid that helps you find recreation programs and drop-in schedules. It is not an official municipal service and does not act for any municipality.

Schedules can be wrong

Schedule data is fetched live from each municipality's public registration portal or open data. It can be incomplete, out of date or wrong. Times, prices, ages and remaining spaces must be confirmed on the municipality's own site before you rely on them.

Registration and payment happen only on the municipality's site. RecScout never takes registrations or payments.

No warranty

RecScout is provided "as is" and "as available", with no warranty of any kind. We do not promise that the site will be available, error-free, or that any schedule shown is accurate or current.

Limitation of liability

To the extent the law allows, RecScout is not liable for any loss or damage arising from your use of the site or from reliance on any schedule or information shown on it. This includes missed programs, wrong times or prices, or travel to a facility. Nothing in these terms limits rights that cannot be limited by law.

Acceptable use

Please use the site in a normal, reasonable way. You agree not to do the following:

  • Scrape or download data at volume, or use automated tools to copy the site
  • Attack, overload or try to break the site or its hosting
  • Misrepresent RecScout as an official municipal site or as endorsed by a municipality
  • Use the site for anything unlawful

Municipal names and logos

Municipal names, logos and other marks belong to their owners. They are shown on RecScout only to identify the city or program being searched. Their use does not mean any municipality endorses or is connected to RecScout.

Links to other sites

RecScout links to municipal websites and loads some content from third parties, such as Google Fonts and OpenStreetMap. Those sites and services have their own terms and policies, and RecScout is not responsible for them.

Changes and availability

The site may change, and features may be added or removed. The site may also go offline at any time, including for maintenance. We do not promise that any city or schedule will always be covered.

Changes to these terms

We may update these terms from time to time. When we do, the effective date above will change. If you keep using the site after a change, you accept the updated terms.

Governing law

These terms are governed by the laws of Ontario, Canada, and the laws of Canada that apply there.
