EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
The City of Saint John began operational funding support of service providers within its five (5)
priority neighbourhoods in 2008 through the Neighbourhood Stimulation Grant Program.
Service agreements were established in 2016 to further ensure the sustainability of these
neighbourhood associations and the valued services they deliver to the city's most vulnerable
residents.
While each neighbourhood is unique, services delivered by these associations are essential to
alleviate the effects of poverty and meet the most basic quality -of -life needs of residents.
Services include: recreation, art & culture, food security, social engagement, education, health
& wellness, provision of goods, employment & skill building, communication & promotion,
advocacy, and general support services. Each agreement requires a minimum of 1,500 hours of
service delivery. 'Hours of Service Delivery' mean the total sum of all public -facing services and
programs offered within the Association's operating hours. These service hours include volunteer
K
offerings and community partnerships with service providers (i.e., nurse practitioners for flu shots,
food pantry, social services referrals, income tax assistance).
Renewal of these agreements, with a modest increase in total sums, represents the City's
ongoing commitment to its Priority Neighbourhood Service Providers. While today's
agreements do not require the original condition for associations to demonstrate 50% of
revenue streams from other sources, it is important that they not rely solely on the City's
funding alone for operations. Municipal support is intended to allow service providers to
leverage funding from other sources in order to strengthen their capacity and meet the
evolving needs of the community.
Funding for the agreements recommended in this report totals $172,000 and is included in the
proposed 2023 General Fund Operating Budget.
REPORT
Background
Since 2008, the City of Saint John has supported a grassroots neighbourhood approach to
alleviate the effects of poverty for residents living in these focused areas. Annual funding
through the Neighbourhood Service Agreements supports operational and program costs for
seven service providers whose primary objective is to connect citizens to resources aimed at
improving their quality of life.
The following service agreements were renewed for a two-year term scheduled to expire on
December 30, 2022:
• P.U.L.S.E. (People United in the Lower South End)
• Crescent Valley Resource Centre Inc.
• O.N.E. Change Inc.
• The Learning Exchange, Inc. (Waterloo Village Neighbourhood)
• TRC (The Resource Centre) for Youth in Greater Saint John, Inc.
One-year terms were established with the following two organizations, also scheduled to expire
on December 30, 2022:
• Around the Block Community Newspaper
• Carleton Community Centre Inc.
This past year, Community Services staff performed an evaluation of all service agreements,
renewals and annual reports in order to ensure that existing agreements reflect the needs of
each community and to establish the ongoing capacity of service providers. Staff developed
K3
service deliverables and targets to more effectively capture the impact of these valued
programs and services.
Terms have been added to each of the renewal agreements in order to adequately evaluate
and celebrate the achievements of service providers. These include a minimum number of
service hours, completion of an annual community needs assessment survey, completion of a
revised evaluation tool, and more frequent meetings with Community Services staff as well as
quarterly meetings with the collective of neighbourhood service providers.
Service Providers
P.U.L.S.E. (People United in the Lower South End)
P.U.L.S.E. Inc (People United in the Lower South End) is a neighbourhood action group
established in 2008. P.U.L.S.E. offers daily support services and programs that address the
needs of lower south end residents, including food security, tax and health care clinics, and
various outreach services. The association has been instrumental in neighbourhood
revitalization efforts, including Rainbow Park Development, the South End Community Garden,
Memorial Garden, and community clean ups. They host and participate in activities year-round
to engage neighbourhood residents and foster community pride.
Further details of their plans for utilization of the funds are outlined in Appendix A of this
report.
Crescent Valley Resource Centre Inc.
The Crescent Valley Resource Centre (C.V.R.C.) was established in 2008. The CVRC offers free
programming and services aimed at building leadership and resiliency in individuals and families
in the neighbourhood. Food security programs promote nutrition through a food purchase club,
healthy breakfast program, and food preparation classes. CVRC also supports wellness and
active living through youth recreation programming and its bike share program. The City's
Service Agreement Funding supports staffing and programming at their resource centre located
on MacLaren Blvd.
Further details of their plans for utilization of the funds are outlined in Appendix B of this
report.
ONE Change Inc.
The O.N.E. Change Inc. was established in 2006 to serve the residents of the Old North End
neighbourhood. The City's Service Agreement Funding supports the position of the
Neighbourhood Coordinator who plays a critical role in the development and delivery of
programs and services for residents. As the operator of the C.E. Nick Nicolle Community Centre,
the Centre has become the hub for residents to access programs and services to improve their
quality of life. This includes food security initiatives as well as the delivery of programs to assist
all ages to achieve education and employment goals.
CI
Further details of their plans for utilization of the funds are outlined in Appendix C of this
report.
Carleton Community Centre Inc.
The Carleton Community Centre Inc. officially began its Neighbourhood Service Agreement in
2020. The Community Centre has been the neighborhood hub in the Lower West of Saint John
for decades, offering social, recreational, and basic needs services/programs. Programs such as
its Grab & Go supper and emergency food pantry alleviate food insecurity for residents. The
Centre also offers free tax return services, public access to the internet, and ongoing one-on-
one support and referral services to residents who face housing instability, mental health crisis,
employment issues, and literacy/numeracy barriers.
Further details of their plans for utilization of the funds are outlined in Appendix D of this
report.
TRC (The Resource Centre) for Youth in Greater Saint John, Inc.
Open to youth 13-18 years of age, TRC's programs allow an opportunity for teens to build
trusting relationships with the qualified staff and encourages youth to participate in pro -social
activities while building their social and emotional competencies. High quality programs are
delivered with intentional and targeted social and emotional learning in a relationship, youth -
driven environment. Youth who attend are from various backgrounds and learn to navigate
different social norms, develop their problem solving, critical thinking, interpersonal &
intrapersonal skills, and social awareness.
Further details of their plans for utilization of the funds are outlined in Appendix E of this
report.
Waterloo Village Neighbourhood Group
The Waterloo Village Neighbourhood Group was established after being identified as one of the
five priority neighbourhoods in 2005. The Village aims to strengthen the vibrancy and resiliency
of its neighbourhood through community outreach. Partnerships with local service providers
including The Learning Exchange and Stone Church allow the group to deliver food security
programs and to connect directly with residents to refer them to essential services.
Further details of their plans for utilization of the funds are outlined in Appendix F of this
report.
Around the Block
Around the Block is a free community newspaper that reports on the good news stories and
celebrates the successes and triumphs of the five priority neighbourhoods. The first issue of
Around the Block was distributed in October 2008. It is hosted by the Human Development
61
Council who assumes supervisory responsibilities for the newspaper coordinator. The editor
collaborates with residents, non -profits, business and government sectors to communicate,
educate and celebrate the initiatives and achievements of the Priority Neighbourhoods. The
paper is published six times a year.
Further details of their plans for utilization of the funds are outlined in 'Appendix G' of this
report.
Staff Recommendations
City staff recommend the following amendments to all service agreements:
• Completion of annual community needs survey
• Monthly meeting with Community Service staff
• Quarterly meetings among collective of neighbourhood service providers
• Meet assigned target levels of service
• Complete annual evaluation of programs and services
• Clear terms on city recognition and public promotion of programs
For the following five service providers of the City's Neighbourhood Service Agreements;
• P.U.L.S.E.;
• Teen Resource Centre;
• Carleton Community Centre;
• O.N.E. Change Inc.;
• Crescent Valley Resource Centre;
City staff recommend extending the term of the agreements from two years to four years. A
longer term supports the sustainability of their operations and programs, allowing associations
to grow and develop as well as leverage other sources of funding.
City staff recommend funding of $25,000 annually for each year of the agreement.
For Waterloo Village Neighbourhood Group c/o The Learning Exchange, Inc.
City staff recommend a renewal agreement of $25,000 for 1 year.
Without an established non-profit, the agreement for services offered in Waterloo Village is
currently hosted by The Learning Exchange. As partnerships within the community have
evolved, it is anticipated that a new agreement will be established in 2024 with a community
partner more closely aligned with the daily services and needs of residents.
C.1
A renewed one-year term for 2023 with the current host, the Learning Exchange, will allow time
for staff to work with a new host to establish a plan for the Waterloo Village Neighbourhood
and a governing body to guide and develop the services provided by the neighbourhood
connector and partners.
For Around the Block Community Newspaper
City staff recommend a renewal agreement of $22,000 for 1 year.
The City of Saint John has funded this free community newspaper since 2008. With a steady
decline in print media readership and the rise of social media as a primary source of
information, City staff will administer an evaluation of the readership and community impact of
the newspaper. City staff will return with recommendations based on the outcomes of the
evaluation.

REPORT
BACKGROUND
Community centres play a vital role in delivering programs and services that enhance the quality
of life for Saint John residents. Since 2002, the City of Saint John has employed a community -
based model for the delivery of recreation and community services through partnerships with
various service providers. Where at one time, all recreation facilities were operated by city staff,
an alternate service delivery (ASD) model was later endorsed by PlaySJ, and by 2017, all city -
owned and supported centres were facilitated by community service providers. While each
facility, neighbourhood and organization is unique, all are responsible for the delivery of
accessible recreation, wellness, educational, and personal development opportunities for
residents of all ages, as well as gathering spaces for community engagement.

As per PlaySJ, the primary benefit of an alternate service delivery model, or ASD, is to lower the
cost of operating the community centres by allowing the respective service organizations to
leverage other funding opportunities, partnerships, a volunteer base, and operational
efficiencies, particularly in the case of larger organizations such as the YMCA of Greater Saint
John Inc. or the Boys and Girls Club of Saint John, Inc. In the case of neighbourhood -based
organizations such as ONE Change Inc. and Carleton Community Centre, Inc., the ASD model also
supports a resident -driven board and volunteers with a vested interest in their community.
Six community centre facilities are currently funded under this model by the City of Saint John
through Service Agreements, which accounts for an annual investment of over $600,000 in
recreation and community services at the following facilities.
1. Carleton Community Centre
2. Nick Nicolle Community Centre
3. BCG Greater Saint John
4. Irving Oil Field House Community Centre
5. Millidgeville Community Centre
6. South End Community Centre
The City of Saint John also supports smaller facilities run by volunteers. These facilities are
supported annually through the Community Grant Program and include: Dennis Morris
Community Centre, Milford Community Centre, Lorneville Community Centre, Martinon
Community Centre, KBM Outing Association and Seniors' Resource Centre. This investment
averages an additional $40,000 annually into our local community centres.
SERVICE AGREEMENTS
Based on a review and evaluation of the six unique service agreements with our primary
community centres, semi-annual submitted reports, and face-to-face meetings with Service
Providers, Community Services staff sought to identify standard deliverables and measurements
for each to improve performance measurement, identify service gaps and celebrate
achievements and collective impact in our community.
The responsibilities of the Service Provider as well as The City of Saint John were also revised in
order to improve service delivery and communication, ensure service providers are adequately
supported to maximize and leverage municipal funding, as well as ensure that services and
programs continue to meet the evolving needs of residents.
!i93
Service agreements were amended to implement the following provisions:
1. Service Targets
All existing service agreements identify the provision of "a combination of free and fee -based
programs." However, this provision had never been defined. In the renewed agreements for
2023, Community Services staff have identified service targets to guide community centre
operators. Targets are based on hours of service delivery offered through free programs, free
rental delivery, and fee -based programs and rentals. These targets allow for centres to offset
costs through fee -based programs and rentals while achieving a standard delivery of free and
accessible programs and services in all neighbourhoods.
Service
Target
Free Programs and Services
60% min
Free Rental Services
10% min
Fee -based Programs and Paid Rentals
30% max
2. Community Needs Assessments
Service Providers will be required to administer an annual community survey and share its results
with Community Services staff. The information collected from the surveys will help guide the
Service Providers to identify gaps and adjust programs and services to best meet the needs of
residents.
3. Annual Reporting
Annual reporting will be required from service providers using updated standardized reporting
tools. This will allow for more accurate data, performance measurement and evaluation of
impact.
4. Monthly meetings with Community Services staff
Community Services staff will meet monthly with service providers to share information and
offer support as required.
5. Quarterly Collective Meetings
Community Services staff will host up to four (4) meetings for all Community Centre service
providers and affiliates to share information and enhanced resources to support both operators
and their patrons.
6. Extended Agreement Terms
Community Services staff recommend extending agreement terms* to four (4) years. This will aid
in the budgeting process for service providers, from staffing to program delivery, as well as to
leverage the funding for other revenue sources.
*This extension will not apply to the YMCA agreement for the MiIIidgeviIle Community Centre, which will
be under review for the 2023 year.
7. Annual Increase
Community Services staff recommend an increase of 1.5% in annual funding amounts for all
centres to help offset rising costs. This amount aligns with the existing increase received by the
YMCA and the BGC Greater Saint John since 2013.
8. Change requests and approvals
Service Providers must advise the Manager of Community Services regarding any significant
changes to service delivery and seek approval for changes to operating hours. This will ensure
open communication and accountability and prevent any significant gaps in service or
performance that may impact the terms of the agreements.
In addition to the provisions above for all service providers, Community Services staff
recommend the following:
a) Incorporating the 'unconditional grant' for BGC Greater Saint John operations of the 1
Paul Harris Street location into the existing service agreement for the operations of the
South End Community Centre. This will allow staff to capture data required of all service
agreements and report on impact not previously captured at the Paul Harris facility
through the unconditional grant.
b) Adding pest control, cleaning supplies, solid waste collection and mat cleaning
(winter/spring) to become the responsibility of the Service Provider for the Carleton
Community Centre and the Nick Nicolle Community Centre. This includes the addition of
$7,500 annually to cover these costs.
:111
c) Funding increase of $13,000 in 2023 to ONE Change, Inc. for the operations of the Nick
Nicolle Community Centre. This amount will alleviate the projected deficit identified by
One Change Inc. staff to sustain current operations.
d) A one-year renewal term with the YMCA for the Millidgeville Community Centre. This
facility does not meet current targets and operates minimal free programming (1-2
evenings weekly). During the 1-year term, Community Services staff will administer a
community needs assessment to determine demand and impact of the programs and
services delivered at this facility.
e) All centres to recognize the City of Saint John in promotional material related to program
and event funding.

and improving recreation programming. Further, the amended provisions of the service
agreements with enhanced reporting and evaluation methods align with Council's priority to
'PERFORM.'

evaluate the funding based on a change of circumstances.
