The Regional District of East Kootenay has launched a survey to see if Area C residents would consider a contribution service.
Board chair Rob Gay said the City of Cranbrook requested financial assistance since many Area C residents utilize rec services in town.
“The City’s recreation and culture services are partially funded through user fees, but are largely supported through taxation. The cost to deliver recreation and culture services continues to rise, which is a trend that isn’t unique to our region,” said Gay.
“By contributing, we can help protect and strengthen the programs we benefit from and demonstrate that Area C values access to quality recreation and culture.”
The survey can be filled out online, by phone or hard copies at the RDEK office.
A random sample of Area C residents will also receive the survey by direct mail with a pre-stamped return envelope.
“It is important to note that there is no decision being made at this time. Your feedback will help provide insight into whether this is an idea that has support to investigate further,” added Gay.
