The Esquimalt Parks and Recreation Advisory Committee may review the Fees and
Rental Charges on an annual basis and may forward recommendations for new fee or
rental charges, and proposed fee and rental increases to Council for approval.

2.1
Parks and Recreation users will share with the taxpayers of Esquimalt the cost
of providing parks and recreation services.

recovering the direct cost of providing a service.
2.3
All fees and rental charges collected will be used exclusively to deliver Parks
and Recreation Services.
2.4
In general fees and rental charges will be based on the benefit the service
provides to the community as a whole. High benefit to community will result in
high subsidy (low fees) and low benefit to community will result in low or no
subsidy (high fees).
2.5
Wherever possible the Municipality will receive a share of the profit from "for
profit" events that take place in Parks and Recreation facilities. For profit events
will not be permitted to displace high benefit community events in Parks and
Recreation facilities.
