Parks, Recreation & Culture * Fees as of January 1, 2025*
General
Mark-Up
Rate
The General Mark-Up rate for inventory sold at the Breakaway is generally to be no
lower than a 40% profit margin. As often as practicable, the General Mark-Up rate on
items will be charged at a premium for convenience of between 50 - 80%.
Considerations that deviate from this rule include ensuring competitive pricing based
on vendors leasing within the Facility only as dependent upon negotiated agreements,
and maintaining consistency within categories (i.e., tea and coffee cost the client the
same, despite the discrepancy in price for acquisition). Complete cost recovery will
always be achieved.
Statutory
Holidays
Statutory holidays are considered Prime and therefore charged out at the Prime rate
for all bookings. When the rental will result in additional costs (i.e. custodians,
customer service clerks, lifeguards, extra set-up/take-down, etc.) these costs will be
minimized where possible (by performing work before or after the stat, for example)
but all extra charges will be added to the total rental fee at 100% cost recovery.
Charity Event
Rate
Will be discounted at 50% of the applicable regular rate for the non-profit group. A
"charity event" is considered an event organized by a registered charitable
organization where the event is explicitly and solely servicing the goals of that charity
and is intended to raise funds for the same charity with 100% of any proceeds going
to the applicable charity.
Pre-Payment
Payment at time of facility booking will be a minimum of 50% required up front from all
clients on contracts at or above $250, not including regular programming as reflected
in the Ice Map and/or Drop-In Swim Schedule. In cases where clients are either new
to the facility or have not executed a new contract with the facility in the past two (2)
calendar years, 100% of the booking value will be required at time of booking.
Requests for
Waiving Fees
Administration will not waive fees but can work cooperatively with organizations on
joint programs where there is clear proof of benefit. All requests for joint initiatives will
be presented to the Parks, Recreation & Culture Manager for approval. Exceptional
requests may be forwarded to Council for decision (or a designated board/committee
for its recommendation to Council). Council may waive fees when a funding source
that is equivalent to the total fees waived has been approved by Council through:
-
A budget amendment process;
-
A service area or service level reduction process;
-
Some other funding source as approved by Council; or
-
Any combination of the aforementioned.
Lease Rental
Rates
Determined by the applicable Lease Agreement.
*Concession rental availability is determinate upon the terms of the operating lease.
