Residents are invited to share their feedback on if there is resident interest in creating a membership option that could provide access to all municipally owned recreation facilities. Public feedback will inform a staff report that will be presented to Regional Council.


Project overview

  • we are now seeking input from current recreation centre members and possible members to help draft a one membership option
  • The Community Facility Master Plan 2 (CFMP2) was approved by Regional Council in February 2017
    • Section 6.1 of the plan identifies gaps and opportunities, one of which is a one membership option
  • In the documents section you will find the CFMP2 and the One Membership Information Report to Regional Council

Purpose of engagement

  • to determine:
    • the level of demand for a one membership option;
    • the facilities that would be most desirable to attend through one membership; and
    • what increased cost is suitable for one membership.
  • results from this engagement will support Regional Council in deciding its priorities

What can be influenced at this time

  • members can provide input on whether they would use a facility aside from a "home" facility
  • possible members can provide input on whether a one membership option would entice them to get a membership
  • residents can provide input on the acceptable cost of a one membership option

Next steps

  • after the survey closes, the feedback will be analyzed for trends and considerations
  • municipal staff will prepare a recommendation report to Regional Council in time to be considered for the 2026/27 municipal budget
