Accessibility The Yonge Street Entrance is accessible and has an automatic door opener and lift.

Scent-Reduced Environment To help share the air, community classes promote a scent-reduced environment. Many people have chemical and scent sensitivities, which can cause mild to severe physical reactions. Please help reduce the use of scented products in class.

Waiver and Rules & Regulations All participants are required to sign the class waivers as part of the Eventbrite registration form before participating. Click here to view the TO Live Community Class Rules & Regulations.

No-Show Attendance Policy 5 minutes prior to the class start time, if there are any no-shows from the original reserved participants, those spots will be filled on a first-come first-served basis by drop-in participants.

If you are a no-show (without advance communication) for any three TO Live community classes, this forfeits your ability to pre-register for future classes.
