Report Community & Public Services Committee The Corporation of the City of Brampton 2016-11-02
Date: 2016-10-05
Subject: Community Development in Recreation and Culture
Contact: Michele Robinson, Recreation Supervisor, Community Development, Recreation and Culture, Community Services, 905-874-5119
Recommendations:
1. That the report from Michele Robinson, Recreation Supervisor, Recreation and Culture, Community Services, dated October 5, 2016 to Community and Public Services Committee meeting of November 2, 2016, re: Community Development in Recreation and Culture, be received.
Overview:
In 2009, the City of Brampton’s Recreation Renewal program introduced Community Development as a means of building strong neighbourhoods by involving residents and community groups in efforts to create a better quality of community life.
On February 3 2016, Community and Public Services Committee discussed Brampton neighbourhood community groups such as Northeast and Northwest Connects, and requested that staff report back to Committee on establishing similar community groups to cover the entire City.
This report provides an update on neighbourhood community groups supported by the Recreation and Culture Division.
Background:
The following motion of the Community and Public Services Committee meeting of February 3, 2016 was approved by Council:
CPS012-2016 1. That the request by Councillor Doug Whillans, re: Discussion regarding Northeast and Northwest Connects to the Community & Public Services Committee meeting of February 3, 2016 be received; and 7.1-2
That Community Services staff be requested to report back to Committee on establishing similar community groups, like Brampton Northeast Connects and Brampton Northwest Connects, in other parts of the city.
Current Situation:
There are currently eleven community or neighbourhood groups in Brampton that are in development stage or supported by Recreation and Culture staff. All Wards have at least one Neighbourhood Team.
These community groups are an informal partnership between City staff, neighbourhood schools, residents, faith based organizations and community agencies. For the most part these groups are advisory in nature, provide a forum to share information, are a reflection of community interests, and promote healthy and active lifestyles. This community initiative is one way for Brampton residents to express their opinions on the needs of the neighbourhood and create a sense of civic pride.
Some of these groups operate under the leadership role of recreation staff, while other teams have recreation staff at the table. The recreation teams have found that working directly with local schools and Parent Councils also provide a suitable forum for residents to be engaged in the community. Staff members are adept at identifying what model works best for their community and respond accordingly. The most important factor is the relationship and the engagement staff members have with their local community.
Recreation Supervisors and their facility teams are the front-line staff responsible for their respective neighbourhoods and these team members are highly engaged in existing community groups. As required, the Community Development team will assist with the development and start-up of new teams.
The role of the Community Development team is viewed as a “community connector”. The range of services and support they provide on a city-wide basis is vast and includes the following:
Connect agencies/organizations and share information with facility teams Staff support for the Inclusion and Equity Committee of Council Organize and promote the Community Clean-Up program Organize and implement National Youth/Arts Week activities Assist with the leadership of the Brampton Youth Council Work with the community at-large to maintain the provincial “Youth Friendly’ designation - Platinum Status Responsible for the Volunteer Management program Acts as the centralized receiver of School co-op applications and the Peel District School Board’s Summer Youth Employment requests in the Recreation and Culture Department Provide direction and support for the Seniors Affiliated Clubs Provide direction and support for the Inclusive Recreation programming 7.1-3
Working with the Region of Peel on the soon to be released “Neighbourhood Information Tool” which will assist in identifying service delivery areas in the Region. Provide support for Brampton Cycling initiatives: o Bike to Work Day, Bike Fest (during CeleBrampton), Bike the Creek, cycling programs Participate and provide support to a number of Community initiatives, including but not limited to: o Volunteer MBC (Mississauga, Brampton, Caledon), The Journey, Boys & Girls Club, Healthy Communities Initiative, Brampton Food Sharing Network, Peel Poverty Reduction Strategy group
Corporate Implications:
This is an information report only and has no financial or other corporate implications.
Strategic Plan:
This report aligns and supports the City’s Strategic Plan and one or more of the following strategic priorities:
Good Government: o Invest in a collaborative environment with supportive organizational and governance practices Move and Connect: o Trails and Pathways, active transportation and cycling strategy Smart Growth: o Strategy for youth employment, entrepreneurship and retention Strong Communities: o Celebrate citizens and create partnerships through arts, culture and social interaction. o Create connected spaces in the heart of the City for people to live, work and play o Support diversity and enable wellness through health and recreation
Conclusion:
Community development is an essential element of building a strong community and ensures that the City:
builds a strong relationships with the community adopts a community approach to program delivery provides exceptional customer service

7.2-5
The estimated budget associated with hosting the 2019 FIBA U19 World Championship as reported by Canada Basketball is approximately $1,500,000 - $2,000,000. To offset the expenses of hosting the event, Canada Basketball will pursue federal funding through the Sport Canada Hosting Program support for the event at a minimum level of $300,000. Federal funding requires matching contributions from provincial and municipal levels of government. Federal contribution cannot exceed 35% of the total event costs and 50% of the total government assistance.
If the City of Brampton and Canada Basketball are successful in obtaining the rights to host the event: The City would pursue provincial funding through the Ontario Sport Hosting Program at a minimum level of $150,000 in provincial funds. o The City would not be responsible to offset the provincial funding if the grant request is rejected. The City would contribute municipal funds to a maximum cash level of $145,000, plus in-kind support o In-kind support includes staff services and facility rental costs associated to the use of PowerAde centre, Brampton Soccer Centre and other city owned facilities used to host the event.
In addition to Government funding, revenues are expected to be generated through a FIBA subsidy of $240,000 USD (approximately $330,000 CAD at the exchange rate on the date this report was written), ticket sales projected at $540,000, and $500,000 from sponsorships that Canada Basketball would own the rights to. The event is expected to have a positive net budget.
The proposed competition venues for the event include the PowerAde Centre as well as the Brampton Soccer Centre. Both competition venues would require the rental or acquisition of a FIBA lined basketball court and competition backboards. The Brampton Soccer centre would also require the setup of additional bleachers to accommodate 2000 spectators. Sheridan College’s Davis Campus Gymnasium, Gore Meadows Community Centre, Cassie Campbell Community as well as local high schools have been identified as possible training centres, as well as the Athlete Institute located in Mono, just east of Orangeville.
Hosting the 2019 FIBA U19 World Championship in partnership with Canada Basketball will help further the sport of basketball at the local, provincial and national level. Hosting this premier sporting event will also result in a significant economic impact to the local community as both domestic and international spectators as well as the athletes and those travelling with the athletes will all require transportation, housing and meals and will likely engage in visiting local attractions, shops and malls. In addition to economic impact, hosting a premier sporting event will also provide an opportunity for Brampton to gain national and international visibility through exposure on various media platforms, engage the local volunteer community and engage the community through cultural festivals, fan fairs, social functions, clinics and workshops that can be planned in concert with the main competition.

3. That the Mayor and City Clerk be authorized to enter into the necessary agreement(s) to effect recommendations in this report, subject to the content of such agreement being satisfactory to the Commissioner of Community Services (or designate) and the form of such agreement being satisfactory to the City Solicitor.
Overview:
On Easter Weekend, April 13-16, 2017, the Brampton Canadettes Girls Hockey Association will host the 50th anniversary of the Brampton Canadettes Annual Easter Tournament.
The Tournament is known as the “World’s Largest and Longest Running Female Hockey Tournament”.
The 50th anniversary of the event also coincides with the celebration of the 150th anniversary of Canada which will be celebrated through the event as well.
7.3-2
In addition to the regularly scheduled activities of the tournament, for the 50th anniversary of the event the Canadettes are planning to add additional festivities to enhance the occasion.
The Canadettes are requesting financial assistance from the City of Brampton in the amount of $115,000. Staff recommends that the City provide $65,000 in-kind towards facility rental costs.
The Brampton Canadettes are an affiliated youth sport group with the City of Brampton and are a non-profit organization.
According to the Sport Tourism Economic Assessment Model (STEAM) the 2016 event economic impact to the local community was estimated at approximately $6.6 million.
A review of the tournament success and results of their investment in the community will be reported to council after the event.
Background:
The City of Brampton is proud to be the host city for the Brampton Canadettes Girls’ Hockey Association’s Annual Easter Tournament known to be the “World’s Largest and Longest Running Female Hockey Tournament”. This edition will be celebrating the 50th anniversary of the tournament.
The tournament has a great history in Brampton. The inaugural year of the tournament was in 1967 with 22 teams.
In 2016 the tournament hosted 355 teams. Of the participating teams, 117 were from more than 100 kilometers away from Brampton, and five from the United States.
In 2017, the tournament committee’s goal is to attract more than 400 teams to participate in this prestigious tournament, which will see thousands of people coming to visit Brampton. Hosting this event in Brampton would bring with it several positive benefits to the City, including economic spin-off based on 2016 participation estimated using the “Sport Tourism Economic Assessment Model” (STEAM) at approximately $6.6 million. STEAM is the assessment model used by the Canadian Sport Tourism Alliance and is recognized in the industry as the standard tool to predict economic impact.
In addition to the regularly scheduled events of the tournament the Canadettes are planning to enhance the 50th anniversary celebration and celebrate Canada 150 by; hosting pancake breakfast for all of the athletes and coaches, distributing souvenir pins to commemorate the historical event; and hold an alumni reception with special 7.3-3
guests throughout the weekend at the Brampton Sport Hall of Fame. The organization feels that these additions will make this edition of the tournament a standout for years to come.
This is the 11th time a request for financial assistance for this event has been requested and approved.
Current Situation:
The City of Brampton has been approached by the Brampton Canadettes Girls’ Hockey Association for the City’s support of the 50th anniversary of the Brampton Canadettes Annual Easter Tournament operating from April 13 -16, 2017 inclusive.
Teams in novice, atom, peewee, bantam, midget, intermediate, senior and in various recreation divisions will take to the ice across the city to see who will be successful in taking home the honours of Champion.
The Brampton Canadettes Girls’ Hockey Association, a non-profit organization, has used their annual tournament as a means to fundraise money that they put towards their annual operating budget.
The Brampton Canadettes program offers an excellent experience at a reasonable cost. The monies raised through various fundraising efforts help to keep the registration fees for each player affordable.
Hosting this major sporting event in Brampton brings with it several positive benefits to both the City and its residents:
The event will attract people who will stay up to four days in local hotels, eat in local restaurants, shop in local stores, and in many cases get their first impression of Brampton. The event will also attract people who will not stay overnight, but who will come for 3-4 days and purchase food, gas, etc. The event will attract local media, and possibly national media, for 1-2 days. This event attracts teams and visitors from across Canada and the United States. The event is a great opportunity for residents to get involved in a large sporting event establishing community pride in their neighbourhood. It creates opportunities for residents such as volunteering and gaining event management skills. Local students have an opportunity to obtain meaningful volunteer hours to help meet their scholastic requirements.
A letter has been received from the Canadettes, requesting financial assistance from the City (attached Appendix A)
7.3-4
Corporate Implications:
Economic Development is in favour of supporting the annual Canadettes tournament, the largest women’s tournament in the world. Statistics Canada (2014), reports that sports tourism is a $5.2 billion industry in Canada annually. The Sport Tourism Economic Assessment Model (STEAM), the model used by the Canadian Sport Tourism Alliance, predicts that the 2017 edition of the Canadettes tournament will generate an economic impact of over $6 million to the Brampton area. The tournament hosts 6000 athletes, including 2750 from outside of Brampton, utilizing accommodations, restaurants, shopping, attractions and personal services in the Brampton business community, with a positive impact to the Brampton economy, both financially and in civic pride.
Legal Implications:
Legal Services will review and approve the form of agreement(s) in accordance with the requirements of applicable City policies.
Financial Implications: Staff is recommending financial assistance of $65,000 in-kind towards facility rental costs. This would result in a decrease in revenue received in 2017.
Other Implications:
The City of Brampton will request that the City be recognized by the Canadettes as a major sponsor of the event, and that such request is included in an Agreement with the group.
Recreation and Culture staff will coordinate a number of in-kind services, including providing the Canadettes association with City of Brampton Official Visitor Guides. Recreation and Culture staff will also liaise with the Canadettes to investigate the various internal avenues of assisting with the marketing for tournament such as roadside signage, being listed on the City’s events calendar, etc.
Strategic Plan:
This report achieves the Strategic Plan priority of Strong Communities and aligns with the strategic goal to celebrate citizens and create partnerships through arts, culture and social interaction, while supporting the intent of a future sport tourism plan.
Conclusion:
The Brampton Canadettes Girls’ Hockey Association’s Annual Easter Tournament has been operating since 1967 and has grown to attract upwards of 400 teams. The 7.3-5
tournament has a significant economic impact on the City of Brampton. Supporting the Brampton Canadettes request for financial assistance to operate the tournament will ensure that the tournament will be able to thrive and prosper in Brampton.

Proposed Addition to Agenda - Item 9.1
Report Community & Public Services Committee The Corporation of the City of Brampton 2016-11-02
Date: 2016-10-28
Subject: PRESTO Operating Agreement Renewal - Update IB.c
Contact: Suzanne Connor General Manager, Transit 905.874.2750 ext. 62304 [email protected]
Recommendations:
1. That the report from Suzanne Connor, General Manager, Transit, dated October 28, 2016, to the Community and Public Services Committee Meeting of November 2, 2016, re: PRESTO Operating Agreement Renewal - Update, be received; and
2. That, the Director of Transit, as a member of Executive Client Committee, be given authority to execute a Resolution through the provisions of the PRESTO Operating Agreement that would allow Metrolinx to extend the current maintenance support agreement for a three year period, at an additional cost of approximately $200,000 annually.
Overview:
On June 21, 2006, Council authorized the execution of a ten year Operating Agreement (2006-2016) with the Ministry of Transportation for the operation of the PRESTO system. Over the past two years, the Director of Transit has worked with the 905 Transit Agencies to negotiate a new PRESTO governance model and legal agreement for the consideration of Council. The 905 Transit Agencies continue to work together in solidarity to negotiate the most cost-effective new agreement possible. Further updates to Council on the negotiation process will be provided within the next two months. As negotiations proceed on the future Operating Agreement, there is a need to continue to operate and maintain the PRESTO system for Brampton Transit Customers. Presently, over 80% of all Brampton Transit passengers use PRESTO to pay their fare. Metrolinx has negotiated a three year extension with the device vendor for continued maintenance support of PRESTO devices. In October 2016,
Metrolinx advised the 905 Transit Agencies that they would require a resolution from the Director of Transit of each Transit Agency, approving this extension. The extension carries the same terms and conditions as the existing maintenance support agreement; however, there will be an annual increase of 78% in device maintenance support costs for the existing PRESTO devices. This translates into an additional cost to Brampton Transit of approximately $200,000 annually. These costs will be incorporated into future operating budgets and will be subject to the annual budget approval process. If the Resolution is not executed by Brampton Transit, then when a PRESTO device fails, there may be no way to repair the device and Brampton Transit would be unable to collect a PRESTO fare from this customer. Widespread failures could result in significant revenue loss to the Corporation, and may lead to the need of introducing temporary alternative fare payment methods.
Background:
The PRESTO Smart Card System was created to facilitate seamless inter-regional transit travel throughout the Greater Toronto and Hamilton Area (GTHA), to encourage the use of public transit. It is intended to allow customers to ride on any participating GTHA transit system without having to know the fare policies of each system.
On June 21, 2006, Council authorized the execution of a ten year Operating Agreement (2006-2016) with the Ministry of Transportation for the operation of the Greater Toronto Area Fare System (branded as PRESTO).
With the Operating Agreement set to expire in late 2016, Brampton Council passed By-Law 97-2015 authorizing the renewal of the PRESTO (formerly GTA Fare System) Operating Agreement for an additional term of three (3) years, being the first renewal term, and that, the Director of Transit be authorized to negotiate a new governance model and legal agreement for the consideration of Council.
On June 22, 2016 Council received an update on the status of PRESTO negotiations. At that time, Council was advised that the Province would not be pursuing a three-year extension of the existing agreement, The Province did indicate that consideration would be given to a one-year extension of the current agreement, provided that an agreement in principal for a new approach, could be reached. Council also resolved “That the Director of Transit continue to work with the 905 Municipal Service Providers to negotiate a new PRESTO governance model and legal agreement for the consideration of Council”.
PRESTO engaged a Facilitator in April of 2016 and established a series of meetings with various stakeholder groups within the Province and 905 Transit Agencies. These groups have spent the last six months working collaboratively to define the
framework for a Letter of Agreement that will lay out the path forward to a definitive agreement.
During these negotiations, Metrolinx identified a future "funding gap" in their PRESTO budget forecasts and a need to rebalance this gap from the Province to the Municipalities. In contrast, throughout this process the 905 Municipalities have stressed the need for a balanced and reasonable governance model on terms and conditions that are financially equitable with the TTC contract with PRESTO. However, based on PRESTO’s most recent confidential proposal, Brampton Transit could see the total cost of fare collection rise significantly in the new agreement’s end-state.
While the current Operating Agreement was set to expire on October 26, 2016, the agreement has subsequently been extended by one month to allow more time to help reach a Letter of Agreement. The 905 Transit Agencies continue to work together in solidarity to negotiate the most cost-effective new agreement possible. Further updates to Council on the negotiation process will be provided within the next two months.
Current Situation:
As negotiations proceed on the future Operating Agreement, there is a need to continue to operate and maintain the PRESTO system for Brampton Transit Customers. Presently, over 80% of all Brampton Transit passengers use PRESTO to pay their fare.
The PRESTO device maintenance support agreement expired with the current Operating Agreement. Metrolinx, through their process, has negotiated a three year extension with the device vendor for continued maintenance support. In October 2016, Metrolinx advised the 905 Transit Agencies that they would require a resolution from the Director of Transit of each Transit Agency, approving this extension.
The extension carries the same terms and conditions as the existing maintenance support agreement; however, there will be an annual increase of 78% in device maintenance support costs for the existing PRESTO devices. This translates into an additional cost to Brampton Transit of approximately $200,000 annually. These costs will be incorporated into future operating budgets and will be subject to the annual budget approval process.
If the Resolution is not executed by Brampton Transit, then when a PRESTO device fails, there may be no way to repair the device and Brampton Transit would be unable to collect a PRESTO fare from this customer. Widespread failures could result in significant revenue loss to the Corporation, and may lead to the need of introducing temporary alternative fare payment methods.
Corporate Implications:
By executing the resolution to extend PRESTO device maintenance support agreement, hardware and software support will be maintained, helping to maximize investment in the current system.
Financial Implications: Costs relating to Presto device maintenance will be funded from account #201127.001.2020.0001 – Preventative Maintenance with a 2016 budget for this work in the amount of $264,750.
