BACKGROUND AND DISCUSSION
REVENUE
In 2024, Servus Place welcomed 1.7 million individuals through its doors, generating $7.2 million in revenue against a budget of $7.0 million, a $266,000 increase from budget.
From an overall admissions perspective, users continue to seek out flexible access options, such as day admissions which ended the year better than budget by $80,000. This revenue resulted from a total of 573,000 paid admissions (members or day admissions). Programming experienced significant participation with over 157,000 program participants and better than budgeted revenue of $150,000 in recreation and fitness programs. Rental utilization of the facility was slightly ahead of anticipated use with over 26,000 rental hours and $98,000 in additional rental revenue.
EXPENSES
In 2024, the expenses for Servus Place were $8.9 million, in line with a budget of $8.9 million. Additional expenses in casual wages for programming staff were offset by savings in contracted and general services, bringing the business unit to within 0.8% of its projected spending.
OVERALL
Overall, this results in a $1.7 million deficit impact against a $1.9 million budgeted deficit resulting in a $190,000 surplus. Additional key performance indicators have been included in the Recreation & Parks Annual Report.
For 2025, Servus Place is currently projecting a $1.7 million deficit, including the integration of the impact from PM 24-20 to reduce the Servus Place deficit.
