Trail and Rossland Sign Recreation Agreement for 2024

In a move towards continued regional collaboration, the cities of Trail and Rossland have reached a Trail Resident Program (TRP) recreation services agreement for one year that would come into effect January 1, 2024. This agreement marks a significant step forward in promoting community well-being, sharing resources and enhancing recreational opportunities.

*****

Currently the fees for a Rosslander swimming in Trail are $13.40 for an adult and $8.20 for a child. This is why I've been going to Castlegar, which costs just $7.50 and $3.50 respectively.

Although I have been assured by a Councillor that this is being looked at there doesn't seem to be any urgency at all. In addition we may have missed our best opportunity to gather together with other local municipalities to take a coordinated approach for an agreement (due to Warfield already reaching a 5 year agreement directly with Trail in Dec 2020).

Please help get this issue resolved once and for all by filling in this survey to help show how big of an issue this really is
