the delivery of programs offered at city -owned community centres.

diverse programming provided by other organizations and the City;

city -organized and funded EDI training on a periodic basis; and,

Associations running programs; and,
That an issue paper be prepared for Council's consideration as part of the
2024 budget process that would outline the staffing and financial
implications of opening city -owned centres on weekends, and earlier in
the weekday mornings and later access in the evenings - potentially
through a phased, multi-year approach; and,
That, the City work with a representative group of Neighbourhood
Associations to develop and launch a comprehensive, ongoing, city-wide
promotional campaign to educate residents on the existence of the
community centres and Neighbourhood Associations, as well as
programs, services and supports that can be accessed at those centres;
and,
W.
That the City test the creation of a multi-year partnership agreement

Associations in the future; and,
That, the City's Neighbourhood Affiliation Policy (MUN-FAC-324) be

the Association will reinvest net-revenues generated through

any unspent funding to the City prior to ceasing to operate; and that the
City provide that funding to a future Neighbourhood Association in the
area or invest it into the community centre and/or surrounding
neighbourhoods previously served by that Neighbourhood Association;
and,
That, in order to ensure the city's community centre operating model
continually responds to changing circumstances and needs within the
community, the City review and update its Facility Booking Guideline
policy for non-profit groups (MUN-FAC-415), and Neighbourhood
Association Affiliation policy (MUN-FAC-324) every five years; and further,
