La Canonja updates the municipal sports centre fees for 2027

The Plenary of La Canonja City Council has definitively approved the modification of the ordinance regulating municipal non-tax public charges, specifically in the section setting the rates for services provided at the municipal sports center. The new price list has been published in the Official Gazette of the Province of Tarragona dated 13 August 2026, with reference CVE 2026-07517 (pp. 1-4), and involves increases of approximately 2% in most fees, passes and uses.

The agreement was initially approved at the ordinary plenary session on 28 May 2026 and was publicly exhibited for 30 days by means of an edict posted on the Corporation’s notice board. The information was published in the BOP of Tarragona (CVE 2026-05398, 17 June), in the Official Journal of the Generalitat de Catalunya number 9686 (15 June), on the municipal edict board and in the Diari de Tarragona (9 June). Since no allegations or claims were submitted, the initial approval became final, and the full text is now published in compliance with articles 178.1 of the consolidated text of the Municipal and Local Government Law of Catalonia (Legislative Decree 2/2003, of 28 April) and 66 of Decree 179/95, of 13 June. The notice is signed by the secretary of the City Council, Daniel Sánchez Miguel.
