3 Page 3 of 10 The Town of Milton commenced limited program operations on Monday, January 12, and progressed over the ensuing weeks to increase programs as space and facility readiness permitted. A later section outlines the status of metrics associated with use to date. Fund Raising Campaign / Donor Recognition Event: The fundraising campaign had a target of $14.0M which included a combination of individual pledges, corporate pledges, event contributions and the sale of seats and planks. On Thursday, January 14, 2015, the Town was pleased to host the Donor Recognition Event to recognize that achievement of the fund raising goal, and to acknowledge that the goal was actually surpassed. This campaign was led by a dedicated group of individuals passionate about the project and about the development of cycling in Canada. Special thanks are noted for Peter Gilgan, Tim Hockey and Howard Chang for their dedication, support and guidance to the Campaign and campaign volunteers. A Donor Wall is being fabricated to permanently recognize the contributions for the many, many individuals and groups that supported this Campaign. As a result of the success of the Campaign exceeding its goal, staff are recommending the creation of a Velodrome Reserve or Reserve Fund to be established. This reserve or reserve fund would be dedicated for expenditures related to program and facility enhancements. The guidelines and policy for use are yet to be established. Staff will report back to Council in this regard. Zoning By-Law Amendment: In order to facilitate the seamless operation of the Velodrome during the Pan/Parapan American Games, a number of activities are planned to occur within the parking areas on the Velodrome site and from other facilities across the municipality. These activities require the placement of tents and trailers to accommodate broadcasting and media coverage, staging and transportation as well as other events and functions. The Town s Zoning By-law requires that the parking areas be available exclusively for the parking of vehicles and displacement of any required parking would bring the facility into noncompliance with the By-law. Staff therefore will be bringing forward a temporary use bylaw to provide relief from the requirements of the Zoning By-law in order to ensure the functionality of the site in accordance with PanAm s requirements for the duration of the games. Events: The facility has generated significant interest from large organizations and businesses who are interested in hosting events. Some of the highlights include: The Toronto and GTA chapter of the Young and World Professionals Organization (YPO/WPO) hosted an invitation only event on a Thursday afternoon and evening in February. The YPO/WPO is a worldwide network of CEO s and business leaders. The event commenced with guests participating in a wide range of physical activities from cycling to table tennis and sitting

The Canadian Sports Tourism Alliance (CSTA) will be spending a morning of their annual National Conference at the MNCC. Delegates will hear numerous speeches from Town and Canadian Cycling representatives and will also receive a tour of the facility. The CSTA is a network of individuals (400+) who are involved with sport tourism in some capacity. This event will showcase the MNCC to the many events rights holders who may wish to host a major sporting event at the facility in the future. The Canadian Olympic Committee will be hosting two major events at the facility in April. The first will be their bi-annual board meeting where leaders from the numerous National Sport Organizations will be in attendance. The second event will be for the sporting leaders who will play major roles in leading Team Canada at the upcoming TO2015 Pan and Parapan American Games. In early September, once the games have concluded, the facility will play host to a major bike trade show. The organizers will rent the MNCC for a full week where bike industry representatives from around the province will converge to see the latest cycling related products.

This budget included the grant funded facility cost of $56,000,000 and Town funded additional site works and road construction of $6,881,992. Since that time, significant work has been completed on site and there has been increased clarity regarding cost estimates as construction nears completion.

Recoveries from the Region have increased in line with the anticipated sewer project costs and the budget for developer recoveries has decreased due to lower water main costs on the project.
