Trail recreation fees increasing in September

Recreation fees in Trail are set to increase by three per cent starting in September. 

Council approved the hike at its July 21 meeting. 

The three per cent increase will apply to all facility rentals, admissions, memberships, equipment rentals city-wide, and the Trail Resident program. 

According to a Civic Document, recreation rates have historically gone up by two per cent annually to align with inflation and labour costs. 

However, in 2024 and 2025, labour costs rose by five per cent due to a new collective agreement.  

City staff noted that while inflation has stabilized for many goods and services, the three per cent increase will help the city keep pace with rising labour expenses. 

Staff also reviewed rates at the Trail Aquatic and Leisure Centre (TALC) and found the City’s drop-in fees remain within the provincial average. 

The updated rates are as follows: 

Adult Drop-In (TALC): 

  • Increasing from the current rate of $7.45 to $7.60 

TALC Annual Adult Membership: 

  • Increasing from $650.45 to $663.45 

Minor Hockey Ice Rental – Prime Time: 

  • Increasing from $93.70 to $95.55 

Victoria View Room Rental (1 to 3 hours): 

  • Increasing from $201.20 to $205.20
