The Regional Service Commissions will be responsible for facilitating
the planning and cost-sharing of major sport, recreational and cultural
facilities within each of their respective regions.
The Commissions will be the entity through which Municipalities, Rural
Communities and Local Service Districts come together to identify and
reach consensus on the need, the scope and the financing required for
such new facilities (could include the expansion / renovation of
existing facilities). Such agreements could be developed by the
Commissions on a fully regional or on a sub-regional basis and would
cover both initial capital and ongoing operational costs. In order to
secure provincial funding, the project proponents will be required to
obtain support from those communities expected to benefit from the
facilities.
