Executive Summary: The Provincial Government, through Infrastructure Ontario
has recently announced Province wide grants of $300 million dollars are available from
Municipal Infrastructure Investment Initiative (Mill) for municipal projects that are
"construction ready". This $300 million initiative under ReNew Ontario is a one-time,
application-based program this year that is intended to address community
infrastructure priorities and support as many projects as possible across Ontario.
Details of this program were announced on January 11, 2008, as discussed with
Council on Tuesday, January 15, 2008. Program Guidelines just became available on
the Province's Website on January 14, 2008 (see attached). When staff returned from
the Council Strategy Session on Wednesday, January 16th details were reviewed and
this report drafted. The Grant Application must be submitted no later than 5:00 pm,
February 15, 2008. Therefore all municipalities are working under a tight time frame.

The City has several projects that are "construction ready" and these include the
following.
1. Pickering Recreation Complex Expansion
2. Pickering Museum Village - Hotel Project
3. Don Beer Arena - Pad 2 Replacement
4. Waterfront Trail- Western Gate
$4.5 million
$700,000
$800,000
$800,000
The Mill provides a one time Grant, up to 100% of project costs for projects which will
best meet the criteria under the Mill program.
Staff recommend that Council endorse the Recreation Complex Expansion as our
primary project for the Mill Application. We require Council approval of the project and
a by-law of Council confirming their support of this Application.
The short time frame imposed by the Province makes for considerable difficulties for
Council in considering potential applications. Added to this is the criteria that the
municipality must ask for the amount of grant or less that the Province may be willing to
provide. If the City's application qualifies and we ask for the right amount our chances
of success are enhanced but there are no guarantees. It should be recognized that the
City is competing with other municipalities for its share of the $300 million grant funding.
However, the City must take advantage of this opportunity.
As indicated at the beginning of this report, there are three other projects that could be
considered. Staff have not recommended them for this particular grant for two main
reasons: the need for financial assistance is greatest for the expansion of the
Recreation Complex; and, the community, social, economic, health, environmental and
sustainability benefits are greatest with this project. In addition, staff believe that this
application has the best "chance of success" based on the criteria outlined in the
Program Guidelines document.
Financial Implications: A successful grant application will allow the Recreation
Complex Expansion Project to proceed this year and will free up debt financing for other
projects in the 2008 Capital Budget.
Financial implications are discussed in detail under the Business Case Section of this
report.
If the grant application is not successful a further report will be provided to Council.

Sustainability Implications: The construction of aerobics studios and doubles squash
courts will enhance the existing Pickering Recreation Complex and continue to
encourage the development of active, healthy lifestyles through the provision of high
quality programs as well as expand the numbers, capacity and quality of fitness,
wellness and squash programs.
The design will improve the overall energy efficiency with the conversion of the HVAC
System to a high energy efficient unit replacing the 25 year old equipment. Also
increased insulation values will control heat loss and increase overall efficiency.
Background: The Pickering Recreation Complex opened its doors to residents in
1983 with the slogan "A People's Place". Over the past 25 years, the Recreation
Complex has been a major focus of activity for our community.
Over the past years there have been many positive changes at the Pickering Recreation
Complex that include newly renovated fitness rooms with state of the art fitness
facilities, family change rooms and expanded parking. In 1993 an additional indoor ice
surface was constructed to twin with the original arena. These major facility additions
have continuously renewed the Pickering Recreation Complex and provided our
residents a diverse range of physical and social activities to meet their recreation needs
and encouraged healthy active living.
In June 2003, Council passed Resolution #79/03 supporting a cost sharing partnership
with Pickering Squash Club for new Doubles Squash Courts at the Pickering Recreation
Complex (see attached). A reserve fund was established for the Squash Club
contributions. The Pickering Squash Club has been raising funds for the expansion
since that time. To date the Pickering Squash Club have contributed approximately
$118,000 and continue to raise funds.
In the 2005 Capital Budget, City Council approved $173,300 for the design of doubles
squash courts and aerobics studios for the Recreation Complex. The design for the
squash and aerobic studios is complete and the project is ready for tender (see
attached floor plans).
The Pickering Squash Club has been an active part of the Pickering Recreation
Complex since the Complex opened. The Club has initiated fundraising programs as
part of a joint venture partnership with the City for a future expansion of Doubles
Squash Courts at the Pickering Recreation Complex. Council's support of the Pickering
Squash Club "doubles vision" has kept club members active as volunteers and players.
The Pickering Squash Club is recognized as one of the best squash clubs and squash
facilities in the GT A.
Doubles Squash is an exciting, action-packed and fun-filled sport. More players are
discovering that Doubles Squash is the perfect route to fitness and fun. At the club level,

players enjoy the social side of Doubles without the overall fitness requirements of
Singles squash. Doubles is played with 4 people on a court.
The appeal of Doubles is that men and women, parents and children, senior and juniors
can all have fun playing together and against each other on a more equal basis than in
Singles. Another positive aspect of Doubles squash is that players can continue to play
the sport they love because it does not require the same physical demands as the
Singles game and it is therefore easier than Singles to playas you get older. Just as
tennis players can continue to stay active and involved in the sport into their 60's, 70's
and 80's, squash players can do similarly by playing Doubles squash and enjoying its
many benefits.
There are two doubles squash courts and a viewing area included in the Pickering
Recreation Complex expansion. There are no doubles squash courts in the Region of
Durham.
The Culture and Recreation Division offers a wide variety of fitness classes for all levels.
Our friendly and expert instructors provide participants with a great workout that are
both challenging and safe.
The City is committed to delivering the best fitness programs within the Durham Region.
The Pickering Recreation Complex has been awarded Best Fitness Facility within
Durham Region by the Ajax/Pickering News Advertiser.
Fitness classes are held in the Banquet Halls at the Pickering Recreation Complex.
The Banquet Halls offer a terrific square footage and reasonable acoustics. What the
large Banquet Halls do not offer is an appropriate floor surface, adequate storage
facilities, appropriate atmosphere, readily adjustable environmental control, and
dedicated availability that meet customer demand.
The written customer feedback we have received for the past 14 years strongly voices
our customers' growing concerns about the poor floor surface for exercise activities, the
frequent class cancellations and relocations, the fact that classes are unable to be
offered on Friday afternoons and evenings and weekends, the cold temperatures
experienced during yoga and Pilates and the warm temperatures experienced during
cardio, and the lack of control for access to classes. Our customers frequently ask for
more and updated equipment, however, the extremely limited available storage space
precludes us from meeting this ever-increasing demand.
The plans for a new aerobics studio include state of the art rooms that will offer a
number of fitness classes for all levels and abilities. Some of the new programs we
have seen in other places including spinning, fusion, BOSU, core training, group
strength, various disciplines of yoga, and expanded nia program, will be introduced, as
well as all of the existing favourites.

The Aerobics Studios are included in the Pickering Recreation Complex Expansion
Project. The Aerobics Membership Studio would be on the second floor, approximately
the same size as the O'Brien Meeting Rooms at the Pickering Recreation Complex.
The main floor would be the same size, however, divided permanently into 2 separate
rooms: the Aerobics Mind Body Studio and the Aerobics Spinning Strength Studio.
This would allow for the flexibility in future programming needs.
Business Case
The architect has indicated construction costs of approximately $4 million for
construction in 2006 therefore applying an inflation factor increases this to $4.3 million.
LEED certification and a green roof will be reviewed with the Architect. An additional
$200,000 for aerobics program equipment brings the project cost to $4.5 million. This
amount, as indicated at the recent Council Strategy Session, is comprised of three main
components:
Doubles Squash Courts
Aerobics Studios
Mechanical Requirements (HVAC)
It was indicated at the recent Council Strategy Session that a complete Business Case
for the Recreation Complex Expansion would be provided to Council and this was
always our intention. However, the tight timeline put on this grant program prohibit this
to a certain degree. We have been able to complete a draft of the "aerobics" portion of
this Case (see attached Aerobics Studio Business Case) which indicates potential net
additional annual revenues of approximately $374,000. However, this must be offset by
utilities, maintenance costs and existing net revenue. There is the potential for
additional Banquet Hall Revenues and Squash membership revenues resulting from the
expansion but, to be conservative, will be offset by maintenance and servicing costs so
as to break even. Therefore $300,000 in net additional annual revenues will be used for
this discussion.
The Squash Club indicated in 2003 that they would contribute $200,000 and their
fundraising efforts will continue to meet this goal.
With a total estimated cost of $4.5 million, less the Squash Club donation of $200,000,
$4.3 million would have to be financed. If a Provincial Grant application for this project
in the amount of $1 million were successful, $3.3 million would remain to be financed by
the City. It is anticipated that the annual debt charges would largely be offset by the
$300,000 in net additional annual revenues leaving approximately $138,000 to be
financed by any additional revenues or the tax levy. In conclusion, the best estimate is
that with Provincial financial participation, this project could break even financially.
Staff believe that this will be a viable project for application under the Municipal
Infrastructure Investment Initiative.

Introd uction
The Municipal Infrastructure Investment Initiative (MIll) is a $300 million,
one-time grant funding program in the current fiscal year that will support
investments in local infrastructure priorities in communities across Ontario.
The objective of this program is to direct new infrastructure funding to
support the construction or renewal of municipally owned infrastructure
assets. Recognizing that every community has infrastructure priorities, the
government wants to support as many projects as possible across the
province.
Grants under the MIll will be awarded on the basis of applications evaluated
on a competitive basis against the criteria outlined in these guidelines.
Capital investments in all types of municipally owned infrastructure are
eligible for funding, except for public transit, which is being supported
through other provincial initiatives. This provides municipalities with
significant discretion to seek funding support for their local priorities. No
preference will be given to applications in one category over another.
Eligible municipalities are able to apply for up to 100% of the project costs
under the MIll, and successful applicants will receive exactly the grant
amount that they requested. By providing successful applicants with grants
this year for a wide range of municipal infrastructure projects, the funding
under the MIll will help to get projects off the ground, contributing to a
strong and resilient economy and higher quality of life in Ontario's
communities.
The MIll is being administered by Infrastructure Ontario (10), a government
agency dedicated to the delivery of projects and funding for infrastructure
across the province. Municipalities can access information about this
initiative and submit their applications for funding through the 10 website.
The deadline for applications is
5:00 p.m. (EST) on Friday, February 15, 2008.

Who can apply?
All single-, upper- and lower-tier municipalities in Ontario, except for the
City of Toronto, are eligible to apply for funding under this program. Local
Services Boards (LSBs) are also eligible to apply for funding under the MIll.
The LSBs of Sultan, Eva Marion Lake, and Savant Lake are not eligible for
the MIll because they are in the process of dissolution. Local Roads Boards
are not eligible for the MIll. For the purposes of readability and clarity,
throughout these program guidelines the term "municipality" is intended to
refer to both eligible municipalities and eligible LSBs.
What types of infrastructure projects are eligible?
Capital investments in all types of construction ready, municipally owned
infrastructure projects, except for public transit, are eligible for funding
under this initiative. The province has no preference for applications in one
category of infrastructure over another.
Some examples of eligible infrastructure categories include:
. Water
. Wastewater
. Roads
. Bridges
. Solid waste management
. Long-term care facilities
. Social housing
. Culture (including libraries)
. Tourism
. Recreation
. Community energy
Other types of municipally owned infrastructure, (e.g., accessibility
improvements, docks, flood control infrastructure, etc.) are also eligible.
Municipalities need to indicate the category their project fits into when they
submit their application.
This broad approach to eligible investments recognizes that municipalities
have many types of infrastructure needs, and gives municipalities the
discretion to identify their own priority project for their MIll application.

A municipality or LSB can only apply for infrastructure projects in its area of
responsibility (e.g., a municipality that does not have responsibility for water
services may not apply for a water project).
Applicants need to indicate on their application when they expect
construction can begin, and when construction is expected to be completed.
Please note that "construction ready" projects are those where the
municipality has completed, or will soon complete, all required studies and
approval processes (such as environmental assessments) to allow the
project to proceed to tendering and construction.
It is also important to note that both rehabilitation/renewal and new
construction projects are eligible for funding under this initiative.
IneliGible FundinG CateGories and Costs
Applications for public transit projects will not be eligible for funding under
the MIlL This includes both conventional and specialized transit (such as
para-transit, transit for seniors, etc.).
Projects will not be eligible if construction work (e.g., physical changes to
land or buildings above or below ground level) has started prior to the
approval of the funding application.
Project-related studies, including planning, feasibility and environmental
assessment (EA) studies will not be funded under this initiative. Operating
costs of municipally owned infrastructure assets will also be ineligible.
The intent of the MlIl is to support investments in municipal infrastructure
projects. Applications for funding for vehicles and equipment will not be
considered eligible under the MIlL
How many applications can be submitted?
Only ONE project will be considered from each eligible municipality.

What information needs to be provided on the application
form?
Applications for funding under the MIll are intended to be straightforward
for municipalities to complete. Applications must be completed online
through the MIll web page, which can be accessed through the
Infrastructure Ontario website:
www.infrastructureontario.ca
The first section (General Information) of the application requests basic
information about the municipal applicant, including specific applicant
contact details.
In the second section (Project Information), applicants are asked to
provide basic information about their project. This includes the name and
the location of the project within the community.
Applicants are required to indicate the category of infrastructure that applies
to their project. Applicants can choose a category from the list provided
(e.g., "Roads") or can indicate that their project falls in the "Other" category
if the category of their project is not on the list. In this case the applicant
should provide a brief description.
In this section, applicants must indicate if provincial funding has been
received for the same project under any previous infrastructure program
(e.g., OSTAR, SCTP, COMRIF, etc.), and how much funding was received.
As described in further detail below, particular consideration will be given to
projects that have not previously received any provincial government
funding. Grants will not be awarded for costs which have already been
funded under a prior provincial program.
Under "Project Benefits," applicants are required to provide a brief
description of the project and details about the anticipated benefits. The
project description should explain the key features and purpose of the
project, its size, key characteristics, and any other information that is
relevant.

Applicants must also explain the benefits that the project will have for the
community, the region and the province. The following categories are
provided on the application form, and applicants should address each
category:
· Economic or commercial benefits;
· Environmental or sustainability benefits;
· Health and safety benefits; and
· Social or community benefits.
For example, in the section on economic or commercial benefits, applicants
could indicate how their project would improve economic competitiveness or
create jobs. Under environmental or sustainability benefits, applicants could
indicate how their project would help to reduce greenhouse gas emissions,
protect habitat, or reduce energy use. Since every infrastructure project is
different, not all projects will provide the same benefits, so the benefits
described should be appropriate to the project. Where possible, applicants
should propose specific performance measures to quantify the benefits they
believe the project will achieve, in the event that the application is
successful and receives MIll funding.
Applicants are also asked to explain how their project will help to implement
a council-adopted municipal plan (e.g., Official Plan, Asset Management
Plan, etc.). Applicants should identify the plan, and the objectives or policies
of the plan that the project would help to implement or support.
For both the project description and the statements of the project benefits,
concise descriptions are encouraged and bullet points may be used.
Applicants are also encouraged to use the space available to explain their
projects fully. On the application page, there is a maximum number of
words that can be entered in each section. Please ensure that the
application stays within the limits indicated on the application form.
Under "Timing/" applicants must indicate when construction on their project
is expected to start and when it would be completed if funding is successfully
secured under the MIlL As the projects are expected to be construction-
ready, applicants are asked to confirm that all required studies have been
completed so that construction can begin. If the studies have not been
completed, applicants need to describe the studies still underway and
indicate when they are expected to be completed.

The section "Project Cost" pertains to information regarding project costs
and funding. If you are using more than two other funding or financing
sources to support your project! please fax the additional information
describing those funding or financing sources! and amounts! to
Infrastructure Ontario at 416-263-5928.
The third section (Banking Information) of the application requests
municipal banking information. This information is being collected to
facilitate the transfer of funds to the successful applicants.
All applicants must accept the terms and conditions that accompany the
application form at the time the application is submitted.
What council actions are required?
A municipal council must pass a by-law affirming their support of their
application. In the case of LSBs! the Board must also pass a by-law
affirming their support of their application. In order to assist municipalities
and LSBs with this requirement! two by-law templates (one for
municipalities! one for LSBs) are available through the Infrastructure Ontario
website.
What criteria will be used to evaluate applications?
Projects will be selected for funding through a competitive! merit-based
evaluation process. The evaluation will be based on the information
provided in the application form. The evaluation will be conducted in two
stages.
The first stage of the evaluation is a compliance review to determine if the
application meets the basic eligibility requirements of the MIll. The
compliance review will be based on:
. Submission of a complete application
. Project is eligible for funding! as defined in these program guidelines
. Project has not already started construction
. Submission of a councilor board by-law in support of the application
All applications deemed compliant after the first stage review will be
considered candidates for funding and will be evaluated further. Non-
compliant applications will not be given further consideration.

The second stage of the evaluation process will be used to determine the
applications that will receive funding under the MIll. The criteria that will be
used in the second stage of the evaluation process are as follows:
. Construction readiness
. Alignment with provincial policy objectives
. Benefits of the project to the community, region and province,
including:
Economic or commercial benefits, including benefits to economically
depressed areas of Ontario
Environmental or sustainability benefits
Health and safety benefits
- Social and community benefits
. Demonstration that the project helps to implement a council-adopted
plan or strategy1
. Regional distribution of projects around the province.
Applicants should note that particular consideration will be given to projects
that have not previously received any provincial government funding.
Grants will not be awarded for costs which have already been funded under
a prior provincial program.
The review of applications will be coordinated by staff in the Ministry of
Public Infrastructure Renewal. A comprehensive group of other provincial
ministries with relevant expertise will also be involved in the review of
applications.
How will the size of the grant be determined?
Applicants must state the amount of the grant that they are requesting on
their application forms. Applicants can apply for up to 100% of the project
cost. There is no requirement for the municipality to match the funding
awarded under this program. There is no federal government funding
associated with the MIll.
Successful applicants will receive exactly the amount of the grant that was
requested in the application. The province will not award "partial" grants
under the MIll. For example, if a municipality applies for a $500,000 grant,
and is successful, the municipality will receive $500,000. There is no

possibility that the municipality would receive some other portion of the
original grant requested. The province will not negotiate or adjust grant
amounts after an application has been submitted.
Although there is no maximum cap for funding awards in this initiative,
applicants are reminded that the total pool of available funds is limited to
$300 million.
Can I also use other sources of funding or financing, such
as an Infrastructure Ontario loan, for the project?
In the case where a municipality intends to fund a portion of the total
project cost with an MIll grant, and a portion of the total project cost from
other sources, those other sources (including financing through the OSIFA
Loan Program) are acceptable. If a municipality intends to use multiple
sources of funding or financing, this must be indicated on the application
form.
Grants received under this initiative may not be used to payoff any portion
(interest or principal) of an existing 10 loan.
What costs are eligible, and ineligible?
All construction-related costs borne by the applicant are eligible under this
initiative. Project-related studies, including planning, feasibility and
environmental assessment (EA) studies are not eligible. Operating costs of
municipally owned infrastructure assets are not eligible.
What supporting materials are required for my
application?
In addition to a complete application form, municipalities must submit a
municipal council by-law and a void cheque. Local Services Boards must
submit a by-law, a copy of the Minister's Order establishing the LSB, and a
void cheque. Technical schedules, business cases, consultant reports or
engineering studies are NOT required.

If I submitted a project for consideration under anyone of
COMRIF Intake 1, Intake 2, Intake 3 or the Rural
Infrastructure Investment Initiative (RIll), and that
application was unsuccessful, can I apply with that same
project for consideration here?
Yes, unsuccessful applications from COMRIF Intake 1, Intake 2, Intake 3 and
RIll are eligible for consideration under the MIll.
I've heard that there will be a fourth intake of applications
under COMRIF? When will the new round of funding under
COMRIF be announced, and can I apply with the same
project to both programs?
In the near future, the Ontario government, along with its federal and
municipal partners, expect to announce the final round of funding under
COMRIF. The discussions around this final round of funding are continuing
at this time, and the timelines for that round of funding have not been
confirmed. There will be municipalities and LSBs in Ontario that will be
eligible to apply to both the MIll and the final round of COMRIF.
Applicants may not receive funding for the same project from both the MIll
and the final round of COMRIF. There is a possibility that the application
periods under MIll and the final round of COMRIF will be open at the same
time. The province understands that if a municipality or LSB is eligible for
both MIll and COMRIF, some communities may wish to submit the same
project for consideration under both MIll and the final round of COMRIF, and
that other communities may wish to submit separate projects for
consideration under the two programs.
In the event that MIll and the final round of COMRIF are active at the same
time, applicants that are eligible for both programs will have a choice. On
the one hand, they may choose to submit different projects to the MIll and
the final round of COMRIF. On the other hand, they may choose to submit
the same project for consideration under both MIll and COMRIF. If an
applicant submits the same project for consideration under both programs,
they must be aware that if their application is successful, they will only
receive funding under one program, not both.
To illustrate how this policy will apply, consider the following example. If an
application for the same project has been submitted to both MIll and
Municipal Infrastructure Investment Initiative

COMRIF, and the MIll grants are announced first, and the project is funded
under MIll, it will not be given further consideration under COMRIF.
Conversely, if COMRIF awards are announced first, and the project is funded
under COMRIF, it will not be given further consideration under MIll. If an
applicant chooses to apply to MIll and COMRIF with different projects, they
have the potential to receive funding from both programs. This will not be
possible for an applicant that submits the same project to both programs.
Under no circumstances will applicants be allowed to revise either their MIll
application or a COMRIF application once the application deadline for each
respective program has passed. Each municipality or LSB will have to come
to its own conclusion about how to decide which project to submit for
consideration under each program. As with any application-based program
where the value of the applications exceeds the funding available, there is
the risk that any single application mayor may not be funded. These
program design features are intended to provide municipalities with the
maximum amount of discretion about how they wish to seek provincial
support for their infrastructure needs. These features will also help to
ensure the integrity and fairness of both the MIll and the COMRIF evaluation
processes.
In the event that the final round of COMRIF is active after the MIll grants
have been announced, applicants will no longer need to choose between the
two programs, and they will be free to decide which project they wish to
submit for consideration under COMRIF.
When will applicants be notified about the results of their
MIll application?
Funding announcements will be made no later than March 31, 2008.
When will successful applicants receive their MIll grants?

Discussion - Pickering Squash Club Proposal
Fundraising for Doubles Squash Courts
(for Finance & Operations Committee Meeting - May 26, 2003)
As part of the Recreation, Parks and Cultural Services Master Plan process, the
Pickering Squash Club expressed an interest to partner with the City of Pickering
to construct two doubles squash courts at the Pickering Recreation Complex.
The Pickering Squash Club have proposed a cost sharing partnership with the
City of Pickering for the construction of these new doubles squash courts. The
Pickering Squash Club have requested to equitably share in the construction cost
of two doubles squash courts (approximately $500,000). The Pickering Squash
Club's share in the construction cost would be approximately $250,000.
The Pickering Squash Club have requested the City's approval to proceed with
the following fundraising initiatives:
Membership Surcharge:
The Pickering Recreation Complex would add a $50 surcharge to all squash
members for the length of time judged to be appropriate. For example a $50
surcharge on 300 members per year for 10 Years would raise approximately
$150,000.
Corporate Sponsorshios:
The Pickering Squash Club would seek long term corporate sponsorship created
through ideas such as naming rights for the courts and possibly the squash
facility. The Club also proposes selling advertising space on the squash tins and
for events sponsored by the Squash Club. Staff would screen all proposed
sponsorships to ensure that the sponsor's recommended are consistent with the
values of the community. No tobacco or alcohol advertising or sponsorship will
be permitted.

Mr. Thomas Quinn
Chief Administrative Officer.

Pickering Civic Complex

Pickering, Ontario. L 1 V6K7
Dear Mr. Quinn:
The Pickering Squash Club is pleased to submit this letter of intent regarding the
construction of new doubles courts at the City of Pickering Recreation Complex.
The partnership, including terms and conditions, is described in greater detail below.
A. DEFINITIVE PARTNERSHIP AGREEMENT
The parties to this Letter of Intent will endeavor to scope out the partnership definition to
be mutually agreed by the City of Pickering and the Pickering Squash Club.
1. THE PARTNERSHIP
a. Cost Sharing
The Pickering Squash club would like to propose that our cost sharing partnership
follow the guidelines as set out in the current Pickering Hockey Association's
agreement. The strategic principal being to equitably share the cost in the facility
expansion between the user groups and the City of Pickering up to a Pickering
Squash Club total of two hundred thousand Dollars.
b. Third Party Grant Programs.
We request that the City of Pickering Recreation, Parks & Cultural services apply
for, on our behalf, those grant programs that we could show eligibility for such as
the Ontario Trillium Foundation Program, Ontario Superbuild and other
opportunities that they may be aware of. Reception of such grants may allow for a
three way split in our cost sharing approach.

c. Fundraising Approaches
Being a small group, we wish to use a multiple approach to raising funding for our
portion of this partnership.
Membership Surcharoes: The Pickering Recreation Complex would add a $50
surcharge to all squash members for the length of time judged to be appropriate.
For example a $50 surcharge on 300 members per year for 10 Years would raise
approximately $150,000.
Corporate Sponsorships: The Pickering Squash Club would seek long term
corporate sponsorship created through ideas such as naming rights for the courts
proposed change rooms, and possibly the squash facility. We propose the ability to
"sell" advertising space on the squash tins; locker doors, and for events sponsored
by the Squash Club. Other ideas would be to approach corporations to sponsor
advertising on locker doors within the change room, on bench seating and perhaps
other areas around the squash facility.
Fund Raisino: A variety of fund raising tactics will be used to supplement our
funding approach.
SUMMARY:
This Letter of Intent represents the Pickering Squash Club's commitment to working
with the City of Pickering to expand the current facilities at the Pickering Recreation
Complex.

PROPOSED AEROBICS STUDIOS: BUSINESS CASE
1 1 B
When the Pickering Recreation Complex first opened in 1983, aerobic fitness classes
were synonymous with Bess Moda and "The 20-Minute Workout", which was shown in
bars for its entertainment value. At that time, no one could have possibly predicted the
phenomenal craze aerobics would become. Therefore, the conceptual stage of the
Complex's design did not include an appropriate aerobics studio. In fact, at the time,
there was no such term as an aerobics studio.
To test the waters, aerobics classes were, and continue to be held, in the Banquet
Halls. The Banquet Halls offer a terrific square footage and reasonable acoustics.
What the large and cavernous Banquet Halls do not offer is an appropriate floor surface,
adequate storage facilities, appropriate atmosphere, readily adjustable environmental
control, and dedicated availability that meet customer demand.
The written customer feedback we have received for the past 10 years, most recently
our survey completed in April, strongly voices our customers' growing concerns about
the poor floor surface for exercise activities, the frequent class cancellations and
relocations, the fact that classes are unable to be offered on Friday afternoons and
evenings and weekends, the cold temperatures experienced during yoga and Pilates
and the warm temperatures experienced during cardio, and the lack of control for
access to classes. Our customers frequently ask for more and updated equipment,
however, the extremely limited available storage space precludes us from meeting this
ever-increasing demand.
Fitness has gone from being an afterthought to being the foremost thought in club
design. Fitness has proven itself to be the primary and mainstay source of direct
revenue for multipurpose facilities. Knowledgeable consumers take their business to
where they feel their complete fitness needs will readily be met.
Consumer demand for wellness and holistic health services is rising. Fitness is not just
about sets and reps anymore. Today, fitness is focused on training the whole person:
mind, body and breath. According to the 2003 IDEA Fitness Programs and Equipment
survey, the following fitness programs have continued their 7-year trend in upward
popularity: back pain prevention (14%), boxing-based (16%), core conditioning (14%),
kids'-specific (10%), martial arts-based aerobics (28%), Pilates (55%), post rehab
(10%), spinning (28%), sport-specific training (18%), stability ball-based (43%), strength
training in a group (12%), and yoga (19%). This is a wide variety of classes. Our
customers, and potential customers, need a diverse range of classes from which they
can select a mixture that best suits their ohvsical and motivational reauirements.
I " -. - _. .
The potential to generate extensive revenue in the wellness industry is tremendous. In
fact, one economist projects that the wellness industry alone will generate $1 trillion
annually within the next 10 years. The Corporation of the City of Pickering can wait no
longer to jump on this revenue producing, lifestyle enhancing industry.

Building aerobic studios, or more fittingly named, wellness studios is a shrewd business
move. The future of fitness does not lie in becoming more specialized for those who are
already active, but in developing relationships with new clients and bringing back those
who have given up. Those who perceive themselves to be advanced participants are
often most vocal about their likes and dislikes. However, they will continue to come
regardless of what is offered, because they have already made exercise a part of their
lives. Our target market is the 80% who believe themselves to be non-exercisers,
beginners or intermediate level exercisers. Our target market can further be defined as
Generation Y. This is the next biggest wave since the boomers. This is the age
demographic that has and will continue to have the most discretionary dollar for
spending on lifestyle needs since the Baby Boomers. Engaging and capturing the
Generation Y demographic ensures a continued stream of revenue. They are loyal to
businesses that speak to their values and that make them feel good while they
experience life.
Today's consumers demand:
· A comfortable, friendly, non-judgmental environment,
· A proper floor surface that supports the biomechanics of their movement,
· A variety of exercise modalities to vary their exercise routines,
· A diverse selection of classes that train their entire being,
· Classes offered at times that match their busy lifestyle, and
· Most importantly, the latest in activity trends, e.g., spinning and BOSU.
In order for the Corporation of the City of Pickering to meet its customer demand, it is
proposed that three Wellness Studios be built along with the doubles squash courts.
The Membership Studio would be on the second floor, approximately the same size as
the O'Brien Meeting Rooms at the Pickering Recreation Complex. The main floor would
be the same size, however, divided permanently into 2 separate rooms: the Mind Body
Studio and the Spinning Strength Studio. This would allow for the flexibility in future
programming needs. Fitness is now ingrained in our community's lifestyle - it is here to
stay. It is only prudent to plan for the future and make each space as versatile as
possible to be able to readily adapt to future demands.
It is highly recommended:
· To build 3 Wellness Studios.
· To make Group Fitness Class Memberships a true membership, i.e.,
transfer from 2712 to 2731.
· To include access to the Non-Prime Time and Membership Studio
· Group Fitness Classes with each membership.
· To increase the cost of each membership to reflect the above inclusion,
and make it more marketable and competitive with similar businesses.
· To acknowledge some classes as Prime Time Classes and make them
accessible only with a Preferred (and thereby more expensive)

· Membership, a small fee for members, or on a Pay-As-You-Go basis.
· To ensure each Studio is accessible only with card access or a keypad for
PAYG.
It is hoped that the above recommendation, to build all three Wellness Studios, will be
offset with an annual projected profit of $373,969.53 (fitness-related projected net
profit).
