These student groups are serviced in partnership between the City of Peterborough, Fleming College and the Fleming College Student Administrative Council.
As a result of the COVID19 pandemic, there is an anticipated impact to overall membership revenue and projecting overall decrease of memberships in 2022. As a review all expenses were examined and adjustments made to reflect the overall reduction in membership revenue. This includes anticipated reduction in maintenance related expenses for the aquatic centre, as a result of the replacement of the Wellness Centre HVAC Equipment.
Focus for the 2022 operations will continue to adjust delivery model as a result of COVID-19, including continued review of enhanced cleaning, focus on membership growth and engagement, and adaptation of our program model, including Summer Day Camps.
Program changes will include new family and children member classes, which are included in our family and children membership options, providing a wider range of programs for children and families to access. Sport and Fitness programs will continue to include a focus on indoor-outdoor program mix, and utilizing the nature trails unique to the Fleming College grounds. New adult leisure programs will be introduced to the overall program model, to help address social isolation and program affordability resulting from the pandemic impacts.
