In a report to the Parks Board Manager Bob Grant states:

There are four places I looked at, of a similar size to Oliver that have an indoor pool.

District of Lillooet – annual revenue $35,500  – operational cost $106,000

City of Merritt – annual revenue $210,000 – operational cost $780,000

Summerland – annual revenue $295,777 – operational cost $521,000

City of Kimberley – annual revenue $313,398 – operation cost $832,515

The revenue to cost ratio ranges from 26% to 56% which results in a high level of subsidy from general taxpayers who may never use such a facility.
