Group Categorization
Category 1 – Resident youth, seniors, not for profit
Resident groups (70% of participants live within South Frontenac Township) with the highest community benefit such as youth, seniors’ groups, and not for profit organizations. Typically, this category would allow for maximum participation with minimum barriers to involvement (i.e., no/ low admission or registration fees for participants, entry/ minor level leagues, community-oriented events, etc.). Category 1 has the lowest user fees.
Category 2 – Resident special interest
Resident groups (70% of participants live within South Frontenac Township) with moderate community benefits that may or may not be open to the public. Typically, this category would be used for groups that have a specialized interest or serve non-basic recreation needs (i.e., advanced youth sports leagues, adult sports leagues, special interest gathering or event, etc.), or for a function that is not open to the public, therefore having a lower community benefit (i.e., birthday party, wedding reception, baby/ wedding shower, retirement party, club meeting, etc.). Category 2 has slightly higher fees than Category 1.
Category 3 – Non-resident, commercial
Non-resident groups (the renter and/ or under 70% of participants live within South Frontenac Township), corporate, and/ or for-profit groups. Category 3 is subject to the highest fees (note that the fees are based on cost-recovery and are not meant to generate profits for the municipality).
