A successful motion by Ward 6 Coun. René Lapierre will put capital work at the City of Greater Sudbury’s two municipal ski hills on hold while their utilization and operating costs are reviewed
Despite passing a successful resolution to hit the brakes on capital projects at the city’s two municipal ski hills pending review, Ward 6 Coun. René Lapierre clarified they aren’t closing.“This report doesn’t suggest to close anything, we’re just trying to access the user numbers, what capital assets are required at those sites for renewal, and projections of renewal for the next five to 10 years,” he told Sudbury.
On a “sliding scale of community benefit and individual benefit,” she said the cost-recovery model should determine what percentage has a broader community benefit and is subsidized as such, whereas individual benefit should be covered by user fees. The Core Services Review, commissioned by the city and completed by KPMG, recommends outsourcing ski hills to a private sector/third party.
The Core Services Review drew from 2018-19 season data to determine Adanac’s cost recovery of the day was 57.2 per cent and Lively’s cost recovery was 6.7 per cent, and the hills’ overall capacity exceeded demand by 4.6 times.
