Frequently Asked Questions
-
What is a Preferred Client?
A Preferred Client is a Regular Member (see the PSP Plan Pricing Guide) who is a CAF member, serving foreign military member, Reservist on contact, former CAF member (with proof of Service) and members of their immediate family.
Preferred clients are given early access to register for Recreation programs, before other members of the community.
The client should confirm with the staff at the Rec Plex that their online account indicates that they are a preferred client. The online system is not set up to automatically give a client preferred status even if they meet the above criteria; this must be done manually by PSP staff. -
Where can I purchase the PSP Plan Membership?
All PSP Plan Memberships can be purchased at the Recreation Complex (30 Festubert Blvd., Petawawa, ON. K8H 2X3).

When I buy a PSP Plan Membership, where does my money go?
All funds collected for the PSP Plan are put directly back into the Community Recreation department to ensure that we can continue offering high quality programs and services. More specifically, when you purchase a PSP Plan Membership your money is used to purchase program supplies, wages for Community Recreation staff members and supplement additional costs associated with developing and implementing Community Recreation programs.
These funds allow us to continue to offer cost-effective and free programs to you and the community. Your support is a huge part of our success!

Will the PSP Plan be available to me at all bases across Canada?
Although all membership across Canada will be called PSP Plan, each membership will have a different structure (i.e. fees, benefits and discounts) from base-to-base. You will be permitted to use your PSP Plan from another base in Petawawa if visiting; however, not all bases may have the same policy.
