Origin
Summary
On an annual basis, the City of Toronto receives the audited financial statements from various Arena Boards of Management. The financial statements allow the City to determine whether additional operating subsidy payments need to be provided to or clawed back from the Arenas to settle their operating deficits or surpluses.
This report recommends the settlement of seven of the Arenas' operating surpluses and deficits for 2019, based on audited financial results. At the time of preparation of this report, the audited financial statements for Leaside Memorial Community Gardens Arena was still in progress and therefore will be presented in a future report for consideration and approval purposes.
While normally the prior year end settlement reports for both Arena Boards and Association of Community Centres are submitted together to Council in the following year, the 2019 settlement reports were delayed due to delays in completing the Arena Board 2019 audits, and further delayed by the impact of COVID-19 on the City's 2020 priorities.
