Facility allocation policy

The Township of Russell is committed to serving the needs of the user groups and residents who wish to utilize our facilities. A facility allocation policy is in effect to be fair and transparent and to be applied consistently and equitably to all users. The policy:

• Ensures that the facilities are used for the benefit of the entire community.
• Recognizes the need for flexibility to effectively respond to changing needs and demands.
• Balances the needs of the participants as a whole.

The actual number of hours allocated to each client is reviewed annually. Before any league development or expansion is considered, please consult with the supervisor of permitting and scheduling at 613-443-3066.  Supporting documents to determine a group's placement as per the facility allocation policy including group membership rosters may be requested before a permit is issued.
