The proposed rate structure for the Badlands Community Facility for 2012 to 2014 has been approved by council during their meeting on November 7.
“The rates were set with a focus on accessibility and family fitness and wellness,” said Mayor Terry Yemen. “The town council feels that the new rates will be affordable for individuals and families in the community and provide an efficiency of operations with reasonable cost recovery for the facilities.”
A membership at the Community Facility would include access to the state of the art fitness centre, running track, field house drop in activities, priority locker access, towel service, and discounted member fitness classes, leagues, and programs.
A membership would also include access to the library. However, it is not necessary to purchase a membership to the Community Facility to access the library. Library cards will still be available through the library for those wishing to take out books, but who do not want to use the Community Facility.
A multi-pass is available as well that would grant access to both the Community Facility and the Aquaplex.
Fees for the facility are available for drop in (single use), 10 day, one month, three month, six month, and annual passes. Rates are different for adult, youth, senior, and family passes.
Monthly payment options are available for the three and six month, and annual passes. For example, an adult annual multi-pass would be $37.00, for youths it would be $24.00, for seniors $22.00, and for a family $65.00 per month.
Businesses wishing to purchase memberships for their employees will be offered a discounted corporate rate of 20 per cent on the purchase of at least four annual multi-facility passes.
Current Aquaplex annual pass holders will be given a discount if they choose to upgrade their membership to a multi-facility pass for 2012.
Memberships for the Community Facility will go on sale for the public at the beginning of December, just in time for the holidays.
