    Resolution with Proposed Amendment:

    RCMP officer with a mental health care provider to address mental health calls, has been in
    place for some municipalities for decades and has been well received;


    And whereas an integrated robust health care regional model would have value, eliminating
    jurisdictional policy lines (based on local government boundaries) for a regional model that
    follows Health Authority boundaries:


    Therefore be it resolved that UBCM request the Province to provide an integrated health care
    regional model for a Mobile Crisis Response Car Program.

Correspondence dated June 7, 2021 from the White Rock Tennis Club regarding the sport of tennis and stating there has been no increase in the court facilities for tennis in decades. The White Rock Tennis Club are supportive of adding lights to the courts at Centennial in order to allow for more overall hours of court availability so that tennis players can enjoy the courts after the Pickleball players have completed, however they are not in support of conversion of any courts to be exclusively made for pickleball use.  

11.1

Councillor Johanson brought forward this motion as a notice of motion at the May 31, 2021 Regular Council meeting to be considered at this time.

  • RECOMMENDATION

    Whereas pickleball has seen explosive growth in our community; and 

    Whereas the local hub for pickleball play for approximately 300 players is Centennial Park; and 

    Whereas the lower three courts at Centennial Park are exclusively for tennis play and the upper two courts are dual purpose courts (pickleball and tennis); and 

    Whereas the tennis courts at Centennial Park receive modest use for tennis play during the week; and 

    Whereas tennis players have the additional option of joining the White Rock Tennis Club for a modest cost; and 

    Whereas permanent pickleball courts would provide the opportunity for new players not able to play in the mornings; and 

    Whereas providing additional full-time court access will reduce the crowding; and 

    Whereas the White Rock Pickleball Group will fund ongoing maintenance of permanent nets along with providing balls; 

    Be it resolved that Council direct staff to meet with the White Rock Pickleball Group to discuss cost-sharing options to remove the tennis court lines on one of the upper dual-purpose courts and install permanent pickleball nets on that court; and 

    Be it further resolved that Council direct staff to relocate the tennis practice board to the three lower tennis courts. 

Mayor Walker requested the following item be brought forward for discussion purposes: 

 

  • RECOMMENDATION
