Recreation Registration System FAQ

​​​​​​​​​​​

The City of Brampton Recreation Division upgraded its Recreation registration system in August 2020. The previous system the City used was no longer supported by the vendor. The new system provides users with improved functionality, more convenient access, and additional features.

The new system was launched in August 2020, at which time the previous system was discontinued. ​

​The way you register for programs and memberships changed as of August and many improvements have been made with the new system, including improved online functionality and account customization.​ ​​​​​
​​

​Should you have any questions or concerns regarding the new system, or any other matter, please reach out to our team by email at recreation@brampton.ca.​​

​

​The email communication@perfectmind.com​ is not spam, it is from our software vendor and contains your temporary password.

If you had an account in our previous Recreation system, with a transaction on your account since February 1, 2019, your account was migrated to the new system. To find out if you have a City of Brampton Recreation account, please contact us at recreation@brampton.ca with the email subject line “Account Status”. Alternatively, you can visit cityofbrampton.perfectmind.com​, click “Forgot your password?”, and type in the email you would have used previously.
​

If you have had any transaction (membership purchase, course registration, facility rental) with the City of Brampton Recreation since February 1, 2019, your client and account information has been migrated to the new system. This includes your address, phone number(s), and email.  Each of your family members have been migrated as well and are associated with your family account. Also, we have transferred any account credits, balances, and active memberships. 

Please visit cityofbrampton.perfectmind.com and click the “Forgot your password?” link and use the email you would have used previously. A password reset email will be sent to you from our vendor (communication@perfectmind.com).

​If you are still having issues or you have never had an email associated with your account, please email our team at recreation@brampton.ca​ with the email subject line “Account Log In” and include the email address you would like to add to your account.​

Important note: Accounts that have not been updated or that do not have an email address associated with them have not been migrated to the new system. Clients who have not been migrated over to the new system have the option of creating a new account, however, they will need to contact City of Brampton Recreation staff to attach remaining credits and active memberships to their new account.​ To do this, please contact recreationadmin@brampton.ca​.​​
