New completion date - Spring 2024

The construction of a new facility to replace the aging H.G.R. Mews Community Centre is approximately 60% complete and the facility is anticipated to open to the public in late spring 2024.

When construction began, the target for opening to the public was fall 2023, but due to issues around the availability and delivery of steel, the target opening date has been adjusted to late spring 2024.

The cost to construct the new facility remains on budget at $33,597,250 and is federally funded by the Canada Community Building Fund previously known as the Federal Gas Tax Fund.

Several significant milestones have been reached to date, including the completion and opening of the $1 million inclusive playground, funded by Canadian Tire Jumpstart Charities.

Once complete, features of the 60,000 square foot community centre will include:

• 25 metre, 6 lane swimming pool with a climbing wall

• leisure pool with water features

• steam room

• full-size gymnasium

• indoor walking track

• convertible courts for squash, handball, or racquet ball

• dedicated space for the Boys and Girls club and the REAL Program
