Office Consolidation User Fee By-law Note 2: A small number of groups offering youth development programs were previously charged the lowest available ice rental fee. When the current rate structure was introduced, these groups were placed on a phased-in plan to gradually move them to the Resident Rate, minimizing sudden increases. As of January 1, 2026, they will reach the Resident Rate. However, as for-profit businesses, the appropriate classification is the Commercial Rate (Resident Rate +20%). To complete the transition, staff recommend a continued phased approach: ~10% + CPI in 2027 and again in 2028. New for-profit groups will be charged the full Commercial Rate from the outset.
