Committee Recommendations
The Community Development and Recreation Committee recommends that:
1. City Council direct that universal access to recreation services be provided in all recreation centres in the City of Toronto, and that the Deputy City Manager and Chief Financial Officer include the necessary resources in the 2014 recommended budget subject to the 2014 budget review process.
2. City Council receive the report (October 11, 2103) from the General Manager, Parks, Forestry and Recreation, for information.
Origin
Summary
City Council adopted Parks, Forestry and Recreation's 2013-2017 Recreation Service Plan in November 2012. The Plan will guide the City of Toronto's planning and delivery of recreation programs and services over the next five years. An Implementation Plan was approved in July 2013.
This report responds to several City Council directions to Parks, Forestry and Recreation related to user fees: a review of user fees; the extent to which user fees are a barrier to participation; the health and social benefits of recreation; the financial impact of extending universal access to all recreation programming; and the financial implications of eliminating leisure swimming fees for children and youth in 2014.
This report aligns with the 2013-2017 Recreation Service Plan and is consistent with the Corporate User Fee Policy approved in 2011 that ensures consistency in establishing and administering the City's user fee program. Parks, Forestry and Recreation will be reporting to City Council in late 2015 with a formal user fee review of all recreation programs and services as required by the policy.
