Since the rec centre will be open, the city is looking at holding either a public swim or a public skate on Family Day, although plans haven't been finalized. The only city-run facility that will operate under normal hours is the Waterloo Memorial Recreation Complex on Father David Bauer Drive. "We had activities booked for the whole day, mainly swim- ming lessons," llcldman said. "We absesied the programming requirements on the holi- day and found that most were tied to school boards," Held- man said. "There's a limited amount of activities going on that day," Heldman said, adding that most are related to minor sports leagues. "Typically we pay a pre- mium m be open on a stat holiday. but we have to look at the fees we're bringing in against what we're paying out." Heldman said. Most of the facilities won't open until the late afternoon on Family Day. he added. Since the local boards have shut down school for the day, those activities will be cancelled. But those costs could be countered by fees taken in at city rinks and recreation complexes, said Steve Heldman, the director of facility and cemetery serv- ices. "For the staff who are off/their work still has tl, be done, just in one day less a year," Mavin said. One place where there could be additional costs is at city- run facilities. which will operate under special holiday hours, he said. Most city _,ervtt"t't, will be shut down on Feb, 18 for the Inaugural ltunily Du}, statutory holiday. While some municipalities in the province have com- plained about the steep price tag associated with paying staff for another holiday. Waterlou's chief financial officer, Bob Mavin. said the cost won't be prohibitive for the city.
