What is a Recreation Pass? A Recreation Pass is to ensure that residents within the areas which contribute to the South Cariboo Recreation Services functions Bylaw No. 4617 through taxation do not subsidize participation by residents from non-contributing areas. All Persons living within the contributing taxation area may obtain their Recreation Passes by attending the South Cariboo Recreation Centre or other appropriate office during regular business hours with proper identification (i.e. BC Driver’s License) and proof of residence in the form of either a property tax/assessment notice or a utility bill showing the property address. Recreation passes allow access to the South Cariboo Recreation Centre, The South Cariboo Curling Rink, 100 Mile House Park Ball Fields and the 100 Mile Soccer Park fields as well as enrolment in recreational programs at member prices.
The cost of recreational passes for access to South Cariboo Recreation Facilities* is: Family Recreation Pass ** (Household) $155 per year Individual Recreation Pass $100 per year For the year 2014 the cost of recreation passes for users of the ball fields and soccer fields will be: Family Recreation Pass ** (Household) $50 per season Individual Recreation Pass $25 per season This reduced interim cost is put in place to acquire information from user groups of these facilities as to the number of participants that must purchase a pass versus those which will receive one at no charge.

Message from the CRD Welcome to the South Cariboo Recreation Complex! On behalf of the Cariboo Regional District, welcome to what promises to be another great year of programming at the South Cariboo Recreation Complex. As the owner of the South Cariboo Recreation Complex, the CRD has partnered with the District of 100 Mile House to provide exemplary recreation and programming options for residents. Congratulations to Canlan Ice Sports, who recently celebrated their 10th anniversary as management of the South Cariboo Recreation Complex. They have worked hard, along with our staff to manage the facilities and develop programming to meet the needs of our residents. These recreation facilities and the enjoyment they offer, are only successful as a result of the
innumerable hours donated by the many volunteers and organizations that serve our communities. I’d like to thank these individuals and organizations for their continued support and efforts. Our goal and commitment to the people of 100 Mile House and the South Cariboo is to provide the best possible recreation and leisure services, while respecting that many programs are supported by local taxes. We hope you enjoy the facilities that are available to you as well as the benefits of an active, healthy lifestyle. The CRD looks forward to developing new recreational opportunities within the region and will continue to focus on Building Communities Together. Sincerely, Chair Al Richmond Cariboo Regional District
