A majority of the recreation fees in Stettler look similar to last year after Town Council approved the rates during their March 6 meeting.

Town Council reviews these rates to ensure they are not becoming unaffordable, but are also in line with inflation. Some rates will be locked in until 2022, unless market conditions require an increase of decrease.

To help offset the cost, minor sports groups in Stettler have 50% of their annual fees waived to keep the facilities affordable.

Listed below are the basic rates for recreational services around Stettler. Note that an admission pass to the Stettler Recreation Centre allows access to both the swimming pool and fitness centre.
