Regina’s city council voted to increase leisure service fees across the city.

The “inflationary increase” will go up by two per cent in 2023 and three per cent in both 2024 and 2025.

With the increases, a one-month family leisure pass will cost $107.68 as of January 2023. The price will rise to $110.92 in January 2024 and $114.25 in January 2025, not including taxes.

Recreation services are now returning to near pre-pandemic levels, and the costs of providing recreation services are increasing,” the city report stated. “The proposed increase will assist in maintaining cost recovery levels while ensuring that prices remain affordable for Regina residents.”

The city had not addressed recreation fees since 2018 when council approved admission costs through to the end of 2020.

According to administration, the fee increases will bring in approximately $675,000 in new revenue over three years.
