SUBJECT:

Access Card Proposal

to our drop-in swimming and skating programs for
ind1vlduals who are in need or" financial assistance, it is be1ng
recommended that an Access Card program be 1ntroduced. This program
is consistent w1th what 1s being done in several other communities.
An Access Card program will allow individuals to obtain the
assistance they need while maintaining the1r self worth. It is also
possible that the munic1pality may generate some additional ievenues
To improve access

from this program.
Recommendations:

That the Parks and Recreation Committee adopt the Access

Card program in pr'nclpal; and
2)

That the Parks and Recreation Comm1ttee request staff to
quickly work out the logistics of implementing th1s
program, and that the related procedures be brought back

to the Conimi ttee for cons1deration.
Purpose/Problem:
The purpose of this report is

to provide 1nformation and a

recommendation for cons1deration by the Parks and Recreation
Committee regarding "access" tc department sponsored drop-in
programs, for people who require flnanclal assistance.

Background Information:

This issue has been discussed for the last several years without
being resolved in a satisfactory manner. The issue revolves around

finding the best method of effectively providing access to community
drop-in programs for individuals requiring financial assistance.

APR 2 3 1991

In the past, free tickets have been issued through a variety of

communl ty and government

agencies.
In the Spring, 1990 a public meeting was held for special need
indiv1duals and advocates. The highest priority concern at this
meeting was the need for an Access Card in our community. Many other
commun1ties lincluding Coquitlam) currently utilize this system.

Alternatives:
Three alternatives were evaluated:

Issue free t1ckets for swimming and skating.

1)

2)
3)
1)

Everyone pays the regular admission fee.
Issue Access Cards.

Issue free tickets for admiss1on to public swimming and skating.
Advantages:
*
Users do not have to pay and therefore
accessibi)ity is 1mproved immensely.

Tickets would be more easily accessed if we
distr1buted them at the recreation centers.
Participation may incre-se slightly

Disadvantages:
*

We would lose control of who the recipients of the
free tickets were if they were distributed at the
recreation centers.
An individuals self-worth may be compromised,
because they do not have to pay.
*
We would lose all revenue related to these
1ndivlduals partlcipat1on.
This alternative may prove to be difficult to administer
2) Have everyone pay the regular admission fee.

Advantages:

There would be no "perceived" loss of revenues.
Disadvantages:
*
Ind1viduals requiring financial assistance would
be eliminated from particlpatlng.
*
These individuals health would be further
compromised since they would not be able to easily
access regular leisure lifestyle act1vities.

3) Introduce an Access Card for Drop-1n swimming and skating.
Advantages:
