MY CLUB IN OAKVILLE,ONTARIO CANADA IS FACING A SIGNIFICANT RAISE IN FEES FOR USING THE HIGH SCHOOL GYMNASIUM IN WHICH TO PLAY NEXT YEAR. THIS IS GOING TO BE IMPOSED BY THE SCHOOLS. MEMBERS WILL BE PAYING ROUGHLY $150-160 A SEASON, UP FROM $90. WE ARE FACING THIS INCREASE FOR SEPT 2002. ANYONE IN ANY OTHER CLUBS IN THE GTA HAVING FEES RAISED? SEEMS LIKE GOUGING TO ME. WHAT ARE YOU PAYING TO PLAY?
It does sound like gouging... but have you considered the fact that the majority of costs are now weighed onto the schools by the provincial government? You have to thank Mike Harris for this.
