17. Commitments and contingencies

a) The Capital Regional District ("CRD") debt, under provisions of the Local Government Act, is a direct, joint and several liability of the CRD and each member municipality within the CRD, including the Town.

b) The Town is a shareholder and member of the Capital Region Emergency Service Telecommunications Incorporated ("CREST") which provides centralized emergency communications, and related public safety information services to municipalities, regional districts, the provincial and federal governments and their agencies, and emergency service organizations throughout the Greater Victoria region and the Gulf Islands. Members' obligations to share in funding ongoing operations and any additional costs relating to capital assets are to be contributed pursuant to a Members' Agreement.

c) The Town is a defendant in various lawsuits. Whether claims are in progress or have yet to be initiated, the Town records an accrual in respect of legal claims that are likely to be successful and for which an amount is reasonably determinable.

d) Under borrowing arrangements with the MFA, the Town is required to lodge security by means of demand notes and interest bearing cash deposits based on the amount of the borrowing. As a condition of these borrowings, a portion of the debenture proceeds is withheld by the MFA as a debt reserve fund. These deposits are held by the MFA as security against the possibility of debt repayment default. If the debt is repaid without default, the deposits are refunded to the Town. At December 31, 2025 there were contingent demand notes of $204,201 (2024 - $204,201) and a contingent deposit of $109,547 (2024 - $106,362).

e) The Town entered into a long term contract with the Federal Government and the Royal Canadian Mounted Police for the provision of police services. Under the terms of this contract, the Town is responsible for 70% of policing costs, which in 2026 are estimated to be $2,826,143 (2025 actual $2,568,379).

f) The Town has purchase orders in the amount of $691,622 open as at December 31, 2025 which have not been recorded. These amounts have been taken into account in the budget and will be recorded in the period the goods and services to which they relate are received.

Page 122–135

18. Contaminated site

The Town owns one property not in productive use with levels of contamination exceeding current environmental standards. Testing of the contamination in 2003 found no known threats to human health or safety. The property is surrounded by the ocean and undeveloped crown-owned land with no current development applications. The property and surrounding crown-owned land were historically occupied by a plywood mill. Due to uncertainty regarding the future development of the surrounding property, the Town is unable to reasonably estimate what, if any, loss of future economic benefits will occur. As such no liability has been recorded in the consolidated financial statements for the year ending December 31, 2025.

Page 122–135

19. Financial plan

The financial plan amounts presented throughout these consolidated financial statements are audited and represent the five year financial plan bylaw (Bylaw No. 1153) approved by Council on May 13, 2025 consolidated with the proportional share of the budgeted operating revenue and expense of West Shore Parks and Recreation Society. The summary below reconciles the 2025 consolidated financial plan to the Consolidated Statement of Operations.

20. West Shore Parks and Recreation Society

a) Capital asset transfer

The lands and facilities comprising the Juan de Fuca Recreation Centre are owned by the member municipalities (the "Municipalities") in their proportionate share, as specified in the Co-Owners' Agreement. The Town became party to the agreement effective January 1, 2007. Future improvements are allocated among the partners as per the cost sharing formula in effect each year for each service or facility, as outlined in a Members' Agreement. For 2025, the Town's share of improvements purchased by the Society on its behalf is $129,489 (2024 - $199,063).

Because the cost sharing formula in the Members' Agreement produces different cost shares for the members from year to year, there is a gain (loss) on the opening fund balances. In 2025, the Town recorded a loss of $59,483 (2024 - loss of $238,202).

b) Consolidation

The participating Municipalities have each become members in the Society, which was incorporated to provide parks, recreation and community services to the Municipalities under contract. Under terms of an Operating, Maintenance and Management Agreement, the Society is responsible to equip, maintain, manage and operate the facilities located at the recreation centre.

Financial results and budget for the Society are consolidated into the Town's financial statements proportionately, based on the cost sharing formula outlined in the Members' Agreement. In 2025, the Town's proportion for consolidation purposes was 12.582% (2024 - 12.707%). Condensed financial information for the Society is as follows:

2025 2024
Financial assets $ 6,723,414 $ 6,319,372
Financial liabilities 3,786,218 3,888,495
