Milton is reviewing all its recreation and culture user fees, and residents can weigh in now

What is being reviewed

The Town of Milton is reviewing and updating the user fees and fee policies for its recreation and culture services. The Town says the review covers the full range of what residents pay for, rather than any single program:

• Drop-in and registered programs.
• Memberships.
• Facility and equipment rentals.
• Special events.
• Programs and services at the FirstOntario Arts Centre Milton.

Where the review stands

The project began in June 2026 and is in its review, analysis and benchmarking stage, in which staff compare Milton's fees against other municipalities. The Town's current fees are set out in User Fee By-law 064-2026. Importantly for residents, no fees have changed as part of this study: the Town is gathering information and has not yet proposed any new rates.

How to take part

Residents can share views now through the Feedback Forum on the Let's Talk Milton project page, or subscribe to the project newsletter to be notified when the draft report and proposed fees are posted. The Town has not set a hard deadline for general feedback; the firm milestones are the draft report in early 2027, a comment period on proposed fees in the spring, and Council's consideration of an updated by-law in July 2027.
