Reading the table
The order is not a ranking. On a neighbourhood page, and on the Kanata, Barrhaven, Orléans and Gatineau pages, places with one or two locations are placed before chains with three or more. Rows that show ages, class times, camp dates or a current fee come before rows that show none. After that, rows run by neighbourhood and then by name.
—: this fact is missing from the place’s pages.
+N: N further values on the place’s page.
≈: a fee per class that we worked out from a package or a full program.
image: shown only as a photo or scan; app: visible only after opening a booking app; ask: the place gives it on request.
web: the place does not say which language it teaches in, so the row gives the languages of its website.
care: after-school program; camp: day camp, PA day camp or March Break camp. Fees: /class, /hr, /day, /wk, /mo, /term (a term or a session), /program (the whole program), /pack (a pack of classes), /yr. A fee is shown as the place posts it, with + HST or HST included only where the place says so. The date under each name is the last time its sources were read. Distances follow a straight line, not the road.
