School Gym Fees Skyrocket | Toronto News

School facility fees in Toronto and York Region just soared—sending shockwaves through local sports leagues and community groups. A longtime basketball league operator saw his permit jump from $3,400 to nearly $10,000 in one year, while a youth club in York Region faced a brutal hike from $45,000 to over $200,000. School boards blame inflation and staffing costs, claiming they’ve been dipping into other funds—but now say it’s unsustainable. They argue fees must cover actual expenses, even cutting subsidies entirely in York Region. Non-profits are reeling as families pull back, fearing these steep increases will sideline young athletes and community programs.
