MARCH BREAK 1990 PROGRAM REVIEW
RECOMMENDATIONS:
It is respectfully recommended that the General Purpose &
Administration Committee recommend to Council the following:-
1. That Report No. CS -08 -90 be received for information.
1.0 BACKGROUND:
1.1 For the seventh consecutive year Newcastle children enjoyed
a wide variety of recreational opportunities during their
Annual March Break.
1.2 A total of 1,480 children and their parents took advantage of
their extra leisure time by participating in the March Break
packages and /or open swims and skating sessions. Programs,
as outlined in Schedule 1 were developed in cooperation with
the Visual Arts Centre And the Newcastle Public Library to
provide educational, cultural and physical activities. In
addition to the 587 participants in the main "day" package
programs, "open" activities were also available to provide
flexibility and less structure to those who desired these
opportunities (approximately 893 participants).

REPORT CS -08 -90 - 2 - APRIL 2, 1990
2.0 STAFFING:
2.1 Staffing for this program was comprised primarily of aquatic
staff who were also on their March Break. Parents as well as
individuals from the Community Service Order Program provided
116 volunteer hours to assist staff in implementing the March
Break package programs.
2.2 Special resource people were also involved in the packages to
enhance the quality and variety of the program. Resource
people included the Ganaraska Forest Centre staff, Visual Arts
Centre instructors, Cartoonist Michael Lodge, the Bashful Bows
Square Dance Club and the professional Erewhon Theatre Group.
3.0 BUDGET:
3.1 As in past years, the intent of this program is to provide
opportunities through a break -even budget whereby the revenues
collected for the program will offset direct expenses
incurred.
4.0 SUMMARY:
4.1 The success and popularity of this annual event continues to
reinforce staff's position that these programs are very
important in providing opportunities to residents with
additional leisure time. This type of programming will be
enhanced in the future as a result of Council's recent
approval for a Program Manager position in the 1990 Budget.
