“Fit For 2010” – Greater Victoria Regional Annual Pass Initiative
Starting January 1, 2009, Greater Victoria residents will have the option of purchasing one
fitness pass to access drop-in services at all recreation centres in the Capital Region. The Annual Regional Recreation Pass is a pilot project of Active Communities, an initiative focused on supporting communities to increase activity levels of British Columbians by 20% by the year 2010.
Depending on the facility, drop-in options typically include swimming, skating, weight room and cardio equipment as well as some aquafit programming. The pass will sell for $420.10 and full payment will be required upon purchase. The new passes will be available from January 1 – December 31, 2009 and will be honoured for a full year.
Residents can upgrade their regular annual pass to a regional pass by paying the difference between the two. For tracking purposes, a hologram sticker will be placed on the pass, identifying it as acceptable at all municipal recreation centres.
SEAPARC Expansion/Renovation
In response to an influx of requests for arena service upgrades and fitness facilities, the Sooke & Electoral Area Parks and Recreation Commission solicited the services of an architect to prepare concept drawings for possible renovations and additions.

Expansion/Renovation Committee
In 2008 the Sooke & Electoral Area Parks and Recreation Commission (SEAPARC) asked for volunteers to form a Committee to assess community support and explore funding options for a plan to expand and renovate the SEAPARC Leisure Complex
To determine community support, the Committee distributed surveys to residents of Sooke and the Juan de Fuca Electoral Area. Surveys were made available on SEAPARC’s web site and at various locations in the community while 5,800 surveys were distributed by bulk mail.
The committee’s findings are reflected in the below report:
