As you may be aware, since 1994 Saanich Commonwealth Place (SCP) pool has been governed by a Review Board and High Performance User Committee (HPUC) under an Operating Agreement, with both rates and guaranteed rules of access controlled through an associated Trust Fund. The Operating Agreement and Trust Fund are both expiring in August 2020. As part of a new allocations policy approved by Saanich Council in September, the District will have the ability to decline swim meet requests based on operational need.
