- Supplies & equipment
- building repairs and renovations
- Club reserve fund
- Swimming pool/lifeguards
The average resident pays $31.00/month to support the club or $375.00 per year for a building operating 7 days/week. The annual budget is reviewed and approved by the management committee and reflects input from the respective corporation boards of directors.
Suggestions from residents are brought forward each year to the management committee where they have a budget implication to ensure they are affordable.
Q: Building upgrades-how do you plan what to improve each year?
A: The club has a reserve fund study done every 3 years and it helps to prioritize our reserve fund expenses, how much to save and then there are non-reserve fund improvements the management committee will decide to do from time to time, as funds allow and based on input we receive from residents during the year. Recent renovations include:
- Lounge and games room renovations
- Weight room equipment
- Change room renovations and sauna replacements
