No one should have to pay extra fees to put there kids in activities it keeps kids out of trouble and helps them stay on the right path but with adding a extra fee on top of an already unlivable price for society you're making it harder on families to keep there kids in programs that not only brighten Prince Albert but also helps the children's futures

This is nearsighted and ignorant. I cannot believe this passed. Rural can pay something, but this is FAR too much.

Having visitors come to your city should be a Boone not a cash grab.

Absolutely ridiculous. So many rural families commit to serve, work and support the city every single day.

We shop here in PA, groceries & hardwear. Why increase rates for outlying communities that bring their families to that part in sport /exercise in the facilities' that they already support. There are lots of people traveling to PA to work, play, eat, visit family, use to the hospital. Please, reconsider!

This is absolutely ridiculous. It isn't modelled off any other city with a rural population.

Be thankful for all the business done in PA when we come for activities,work and just because. Also be thankful kids are being active. Rethink your decision.

Many of our coaches are also parents of these RM locations, which is also a consideration. As a company owner in Prince Albert, we to pay large amounts in our taxes, adding a contribution to the city.

Why is it the rural kids who must pay for your poor financial planning if you do this rural family will start own teams and sports and just cut out prince albert causing less people to want to even attend or even trying to get kids active

I have volunteered many hours on city committee, city projects and have donated money. This proposal is ridiculous… this is almost as bad as how Trudeau treats the west…

I suggest first the voters have a chance to talk with our RM’s and see if we can arrange this be considered within taxing as it is in the city.

We live 5 minutes out of town. We spend all of our money in the city, supporting all businesses and amenities. We also own a business, therefor give back in many, many ways. A fee like this should not be imposed.

I pay taxes on a commercial building in PA as a business owner, and I also have to pay extra on PA facilities because I live just outside of PA. We support local businesses and donate to any local sports clubs who come looking. I thought we were a big community but it sure doesn't feel like it these days.

This move will make it harder for a lot of parents to afford to put their children in sports
