The District of Sparwood is overhauling its recreation fees and charges bylaw.
The bylaw was adopted in 2018 and district staff said the gap between the revenues and expenses have been steadily increasing.
Under the new bylaw, all areas will meet a minimum of 20 per cent for cost recovery. meanwhile, rates will also increase 3.5 per cent each year from 2025-2030.
New rates will come into effect 15 business days after the bylaw is adopted and yearly increases will occur on Sept. 1.
Council has given it first reading and the district will be gathering the public’s feedback before it comes back to council for adoption.
More information on the updated bylaw can be found here.
