Our Guidelines

Wings Gymnastics Membership
  • As a non-profit society, Wings Gymnastics holds an Annual General Meeting in the fall. Membership allows parents to vote and help shape decisions for the Club. 
  • Parents are welcome to sit on the volunteer Board of Directors, which is the governing body that sets policies and manages the overall running of the organization.
Gymnastics BC Insurance Fee 
  • All Gymnasts will be charged a Gymnastics BC Insurance fee.  This fee is valid from September 1 to August 31 and it is non-refundable.
Registration
  • Registration is accepted online, through our Active Network registration process.
  • To have the convenience of online registering, there is a non-refundable fee of $5.15 per transaction that is  paid directly to Active Network to offset the cost of providing the service. This fee does not come to Wings Gymnastics. 
  • Rates are determined by the season length. The price does not include the Gymnastics BC Membership, which is your insurance.
  • A deposit is required at the time of registration. Space will not be held until the deposit is received. 
  • Payment can be made through Visa, Mastercard, Cheque, or E-transfer. Late registration is prorated based upon the start date.
Payment Policy
  • Classes may be paid in full at the time of registration, or you may select a monthly payment plan which will be charged once a month.
  • If you choose to pay by cheque, you will need to submit post-dated cheques for the length of the season, to the Wings administrator, dated for the 30th of every month.
  • All NSF cheques returned to Wings Gymnastics for reason of insufficient funds, will be subject to a $25.00 NSF charge.
  • Please note : You are responsible for payment of your child’s class whether or not your child attends.
Withdrawal Policy
  • Gymnasts who no longer wish to attend may withdraw at any time.
  • Requests to withdraw may be submitted through email, by phone, or in-person.
  • Refunds will be prorated based on the value of the remaining classes.
  • The Gym BC membership fee is not refundable.
  • There is a $30.00 processing fee to withdraw from a class that has already started. 
Make-up or Missed Classes 
  • We do not offer refunds or make-up classes that are missed.
Inclement Weather Policy
  • Since road conditions can impact our families and coaches arriving safely to the Gym, Wings will make the decision to cancel, due to circumstances related to adverse weather conditions, by 2:00 p.m., that day.
  • Even if classes are not cancelled, please evaluate your local road conditions to determine whether or not it is safe to travel. Wings cannot make the decision if it is safe for you to leave your home due to weather conditions.
  • ​Cancellation information will be emailed shortly after 2:00 pm, and it will also be posted on our Website, Facebook, and Instagram sites.
  • We will notify the Cameron Sportshall desk if we will not be having classes.
  • You will receive a credit, in your Active Network account, for any classes that Wings cancels.
Arrival & Pick-up
  • ​​Every gymnast ten (10) years and younger must be accompanied by an adult when dropped off to attend a Wings Gymnastics Program. The gymnast must not get dropped off in the parking lot, please accompany your child into the gymnasium.
  • Be sure your gymnast arrives on time for their scheduled class time.
  • Gymnasts should not be left unsupervised before or after their class. Coaches are not available to supervise before or after classes.
  • Please pick up your gymnasts on time.  Instruct your child to wait inside the gymnasium and you should escort them from the building to your vehicle.  During peak times, the parking lot is very full and busy.
  • Please instruct your gymnast to not wait alone in the parking lot; this is a safety issue.​
  • Parents are encouraged to call or text the Wings cell phone at 778-996-9464 if they are more than a few minutes late to pick up a child. The administrator will make sure that the coach gets the message. The coach will wait with the child or make arrangements for adult supervision (the Club administrator, Wings Board member, or another coach) until the parent arrives.
