From swim classes to ferry trips, rink rentals, and golf games—Torontonians will soon pay more for city services.
Inflationary increases of four-to-five per cent, applied to hundreds of city services, will generate $12 million for the city of Toronto this year—necessary for cost-recovery, stressed Budget Chief Councillor Gary Crawford.
“The Mayor and I, of course, in pushing to keep things affordable for people across the city, have really indicated to staff our preference to keep things as low as possible,” Crawford told CTV News Toronto.If approved, the cost of street permit parking would climb 9.26 per cent in 2023, applying to residential permits, visitor passes, and temporary spaces.The cost of Toronto Zoo admission would increase significantly for most types of tickets.
Various ice time and rink rental costs at arenas across the city are set to climb as well; the biggest increase is listed at McCormick arena where the cost of kids shinny hockey would double. “I think we need to reevaluate those user fees, and where there’s a broader public benefit we should be paying for it out of revenues that everyone contributes to,” Councillor Gord Perks told CTV News Toronto.“We are hesitant to try to raise anything above the rate of inflation,” he said.
