Recreation Facility Allocation Policy

Many recreation facilities in Quispamsis are governed by a Recreation Facility Allocation Policy.

Its purpose is to:

  • Establish a fair and transparent process for allocating the use of town recreational facilities;
  • Define user group categories and outline their priority for facility access;
  • Advance equity, inclusion, sustainability, and public benefit through facility booking practices;
  • Provide guidance for town staff for administering facility scheduling in a consistent and accountable manner;
  • Encourage responsible use, collaborative problem solving, and data-informed decision making around facility access.

This policy is guided by extensive community engagement, best practices in recreation management, and the town’s commitment to serving the diverse needs of residents.
