Pre-RFPRecreation & Community ServicesDetected Jun 25, 2026

Alongside the decision to move forward with a $25M recreation facility, staff have prepared a detailed Public Consultation Plan to test and refine the facility scope with residents. The plan calls for a large open consultation event, targeted focus groups, and an online survey to validate community needs, confirm programming priorities, and strengthen assumptions used in the Aquatic Associates business plan.A central purpose of this engagement is to improve the Town’s eligibility and competitiveness for external funding, including Ontario’s Community Sport and Recreation Infrastructure Fund, the federal Green and Inclusive Community Buildings Program, and the FCM Green Municipal Fund. This creates an opening for firms specializing in public engagement, recreation master planning, grant writing, and ESG/green building advisory to support consultation design, facilitation, data analysis, and preparation of grant-ready documentation aligned with program criteria.

Staff emphasize that early public engagement will reduce scope risk and support claims of community benefit and project readiness in grant applications.

Budget Planning

The committee requested one session for 2027 budget details for meditation and yoga in Founders Park. This is a budget-stage program item, not a purchase order, and it shows a service concept being shaped for next year's spending plan. A provider of wellness programming has a lead only if the city later funds and scopes the sessions.

Contract Award

The county approved a formal Fitness Passport Service Agreement with One Pass Solutions for senior center fitness reimbursements. The agreement covers Renew Active members and sets reimbursement at $1.50 per visit with a $30 monthly cap per person. Staff said the center had been receiving these payments without a formal contract, and 2025 reimbursements totaled $1,660. This locks in the current revenue stream and creates a managed renewal point with One Pass.

Contract Award

The Senior Life Enrichment Center planned a Fitness Passport service agreement with One Pass Solutions, Inc. The agenda names the provider and suggests a decided or near-decided fitness access service for senior programming, but it does not list value or term. This points to a current vendor relationship and possible expansion into related wellness services.
