1 Proud Heritage, Exciting Future 2015 BUDGET RECREATION AND COMMUNITY SERVICES COMMUNITY HALLS

2 Introduction The Township operates 5 Community Halls in partnership with community organized boards of management. The Community Halls provide opportunities for local recreation, social and community programs and activities. Halls are provided in the following communities: Carley Eady Edgar Hawkestone Jarratt Approved project costs are shared on a 50/50 basis or financed 100% by the Municipality depending on the nature of the project. The Municipality is responsible for the following costs and projects associated with: Health and Safety Insurance Legislative Requirements Water Testing Grounds Maintenance Costs related to the security of the Township owned facility i.e. safety equipment inspection The Hall Boards are responsible for the costs of operating the hall such as: Hydro/Fuel Supplies Janitorial Repairs The Hall Boards retain the revenue derived from the rental of the Hall and fundraising to offset the operating costs and capital projects. Environmental Scan Rising operating costs are now exceeding the ability of many halls to generate revenues to offset these expenditures. As a result many of the halls are in a deficit position. The Halls are in a good state of general repair and will not likely require significant capital investment in the short term horizon. The Community Halls are used for many community activities and are viewed by many as an important part of rural heritage and fabric of the community. The size of the Halls (Approx.700-1,200 ft2) and accessibility barriers limits their use and ability to meet community needs. This will be compounded with increased expectations and an aging population.

3 Volunteerism continues to decline and Hall Boards continue to experience challenges with volunteers. There is an inherent risk in having "Board of Management" responsible for the operation of Municipal facilities. 3
