A new agreement between the City of Abbotsford and the Abbotsford School District is intended to make public recreation facilities easier to share. It comes into effect January 1, 2027.
The Master Joint Use Agreement designates times when City programs and community organizations can use certain school gymnasiums. It also removes charges for skate and helmet rentals during school visits, helping reduce costs for participating students.
The agreement sets standard June and September rest periods for school sports fields to protect playing surfaces, with possible community access considered individually.
