  All classes/courses are subject to cancellation if there are insufficient registrations.  We will notify you once a cancellation decision has been made.  If the Town of Okotoks cancels a program, you are entitled to a full refund or you may transfer to another program, space permitting. If you withdraw from a class/course at least one week before the start date, a $20 cancellation fee, per registration, will be applied to your refund or credit.  No credit will be issued if the withdrawal occurs less than a week from the start date or after a program starts, except for medical reasons (physician’s note required). Withdrawal from programs for medical reasons will be effective from the date of the note and must be received by Client Services prior to the program end date.
