The Consequences
Individuals who engage in any of the above behaviours will be subject to immediate ejection from the property or facility and a mandatory suspension from all City recreational properties and facilities for a period of time not less than two months. Two months is a minimum period only, and may be extended by the City's Director of Culture and Recreation (the Director).
Those individuals who are identified and suspended in accordance with this Policy, shall further be prohibited from holding any positions within the City's affiliated sport community for a period of two years.
Incidents may be reported to the City of Hamilton Police Service. Criminal charges may follow.
There will be no reconsideration by the City with respect to the length of a suspension or prohibition. Where new information is available, a suspended individual may request reconsideration of the facts on which the suspension is based. Such request must be addressed to the Director, who will consider the new information and make his or her decision. ALL SUCH DECISIONS OF THE DIRECTOR ARE FINAL. Those individuals desiring consideration must include with their request payment of a non-refundable (unsuccessful) administration fee in the amount of $250.00. In the event that the applicant is successful we will refund the administration fee.
Where vandalism has been perpetrated, not only will the individuals, responsible be subject to suspension as outlined above, but will be required to reimburse the City for the cost of repair, TOGETHER WITH AN ADDITIONAL ADMINISTRATION CHARGE OF 100% OF SUCH COST.
