I haven't priced it out to how much more it is over a CC but the pure fact that it's a smaller class for double the time is a win already. It was also super easy to book, for reference I tried booking for swimming lessons starting during Spring break last month on the day bookings started in Vancouver, had everything in my wish list, the time came I was on it within a second like every other parent out there and not only did I not get any of the classes I was like 25th on the wait list for everything. At exactly the same time called the the other place and there were still lots of openings for Spring break classes. The one I really wanted was gone however so I ended up booking for Summer.

I'm in Vancouver around Victoria and Marine. If there's one around Ikea that's workable for me, and possibly closer than most community centers except for Killarney.
