Velodrome Business Plan – Town of Milton The Town of Milton – in comparison to the broader region of Halton and other municipalities in Ontario – boasts a considerably larger proportion of younger individuals and a likewise lower proportion of elderly residents (See the graph above). With younger individuals having a propensity to participate in leisure activities more often, combined with the local popularity of cycling (being one of the top five recreational activities in Milton and Canada 8 ); a velodrome would be a welcomed addition to local/regional facilities. Research suggests that adults with higher socio-economic status (education and income levels) have been found to be more active 9 . According to Statistics Canada, Milton’s median income surpassed the Provincial average and peaked above the figures recorded for Halton Region 10 . At the end of 2005, Milton’s average individual income (after tax) was $31,976, well above the provincial average of $24,604.

Sierra Planning & Management 16 16 Velodrome Business Plan – Town of Milton 2.1.3 GROWING SPORT AND RECREATIONAL FACILITY NEEDS The Town of Milton recently completed the Expansion of the Milton Sports Centre (2011) which was the next multi-purpose Community Centre to be designed and built as identified in the Community Services Master Plan. The next multi-purpose Community Centre is the Sherwood Community Centre, to be located on the west side of the community in the area of Main and Tremaine. The Program and Business Plan for this Centre is being undertaken towards the later part of 2012, and this process will confirm the program needs and functional requirements for the Centre. This information will be used to inform the Design process (2013) and ultimately the Construction of the new Centre during 2014 and 2015. At the moment the Facility forecast budget includes the following components: � Double gymnasium � Twin pad arena � Swimming Pool � Multi-Purpose space The proposed Capital contribution identified for the Velodrome will re-direct the Recreational Development Charges identified for the Double gymnasium portion of this Centre ($3.8M). Therefore, as planning proceeds for the balance of the program and facility needs, the community will be asked to verify the recreational needs to be built at this site, recognizing that the gymnasium facilities will be within the Velodrome. Other considerations through this upcoming planning process will be the impact of Laurier University in terms of any planned recreational facilities, the opportunity to partner with other Agencies (including the YMCA), and the completion of trend analysis that will assist in determining future facility needs which may be the same or different from those currently identified.
