Executive Summary: The City of Pickering has executed Lease Agreements with Skate
Canada Pickering Skating Club (SCPSC), Ajax Pickering Raiders Minor Hockey Association
(APRMHA), Ajax Pickering Ringette Association (APRA), Durham West Girls Hockey
Association (DWGHA) and Pickering Swim Club(PSC) for use of various office and storage
spaces at Chestnut Hills Developments Recreation Complex (CHDRC) and Don Beer Arena
(DBA) which are set to expire in the coming months.
The Community Services Department recommends that the Lease Agreements included as
Attachments 1 through 5 be renewed for five-year terms beginning June 1, 2023 and ending
May 31, 2028.
Financial Implications: The City of Pickering is responsible to fund the general operating
costs (such as utilities, garbage removal, maintenance and cleaning) of CHDRC and DBA
which are reflected annually in the Current Budget (cost centres 10235 and 10215) of the
Community Services Department. That said, the City’s direct cost to support the designated
spaces set out in the attached Lease Agreements is nominal.
The respective not-for-profit sports associations are responsible to fund the day-to-day costs
associated with the use of the designated office and storage spaces which include office
furniture, supplies, storage/racking systems and insurance. Considering, the above-mentioned
sports associations are community-based organizations that bring value to City of Pickering
residents and the direct cost to support the designated spaces is nominal, they are responsible
to each pay $1 in annual rental fees to the City for the exclusive use of their respective spaces.
Discussion: The City of Pickering has made designated facility spaces available to sports
associations who deliver community sports programs at CHDRC and DBA. More specifically,
the SCPSC have exclusive use of an office and storage room at CHDRC Arena for their use;
APRMHA have exclusive use of an office and storage rooms at DBA and APRA, DWGHA and
PSC have exclusive use of storage rooms only at CHDRC. These spaces are integral to the
operation of said sports associations as they provide much needed office and/or storage space
required to run their activities. During the past five-year Lease Agreement term, these
associations have used these premises in a compliant manner that has satisfied the City.
Consistent with Council Resolution #224/14, City staff have prepared written Lease
Agreements to outline the terms surrounding these storage/office spaces and to renew the
prior five-year term agreements. As per the terms and conditions of these written agreements,
the above-mentioned sports associations shall use the premises for storage and/or office
space which is directly related to their program activities. Moreover, the premises cannot be
materially altered without the written consent of the City. The associations will also maintain
insurance in the amount of two million dollars.
The City is responsible for all day-to-day operating expenses of CHDRC and DBA, including
utilities, garbage removal and regular maintenance. The City’s direct cost to support the
designated spaces set out in the attached Lease Agreements is nominal.

Subject: Chestnut Hill Developments Recreation Complex Office/Storage Space Page 3
The above-named associations are supported by dedicated staff and volunteers who
contribute countless hours and the resultant programs reach thousands of sports enthusiasts
every year for the benefit of this community. The City’s efforts to provide dedicated storage
and/or office space is just one way to support their activities, those of which are not provided
directly by the City of Pickering.
The Community Services Department recommends that the Lease Agreements included as
Attachments 1 through 5 be renewed for five-year terms beginning June 1, 2023 and ending
May 31, 2028.
