ITEM SUMMARY:
• The Parks & Recreation Department will provide a recap of the Apex Centre’s first year of operation.
BACKGROUND INFORMATION:
• The Council held a strategic planning session in early February and requested an update by 2Q18 on the Apex Centre’s first year of operation.
• The Apex Centre’s mission from the outset, as directed by Council, is to operate as a self-sufficient community asset within three (3) years.
• The facility opened in March of 2017 and captured over 1,800 memberships in the first month of operation.
• By March of 2018, the total number of memberships exceeded 5,500, which translates into approximately 18,000 unique customers (95% residents; 5% non-residents).
• Consequently, the Apex Centre is on track to meet the Council’s directive to operate as a cost neutral facility within the established three (3) year period.
• The accompanying presentation highlights key metrics related to memberships as well as introduces opportunities to enhance the facility to meet our growing demand.
