recommend to Council the following:

2. THAT the by-law attached to Report CD-65-98 be forwarded to Council for enactment.
BACKGROUND:
Staff have received requests from the Community Services Department concerning problems
with youths skateboarding at and around the various municipally owned recreational facilities. In
addition to the property damage caused by the skateboarders, there have been incidents of
collisions and near collisions with pedestrians using the facilities. The proposed by-law
amendment prohibits skateboarding at the various facilities unless otherwise posted. This still
allows the municipality to construct and set aside areas for skateboard parks.
Respectfully submitted:
