Restoring Fraser youth sports and recreation programs
Fraser
Summary
A first step toward restoring youth recreation: a six-week soccer program for ages 3-12 starting around June 8, costing families about $60 per child. It's just an idea being worked out — the hardest part may be finding instructors — but it's the first programming in years.

Impact analysis
Families would pay about $60 per child; instructor pay would come from the existing seasonal employee line item.
Fraser kids ages 3 to 12 would finally get structured summer recreation close to home.
If it fails, residents would lose Tigers games, the Princess Cruise, and several seasonal events this year.

Recreation Commission - Jul 7, 2026
The city added $5,000 to the recreation programming line for the new fiscal year, and Council recently approved registration software that will let residents book pavilion and field rentals online rather than coming to City Hall between 8 and 4:30.
Recreation Commission - Jun 2, 2026
The city budget passed, nearly tripling the part-time sports budget from $5,000 to $15,000. That could bring back softball, baseball and possibly basketball leagues, with fields being repaired by the DPW. Recreation software will make registration and rentals easier.
