    Beginning Tuesday, September 11, 2018, and continuing for approximately 5 days, a drill rig will be operating on the gravel parking lot located on the corner of Pearce Avenue and Mundy Pond Road. This is to facilitate a geotechnical investigation of the property in relation to the site being a proposed location for a new facility which will replace the existing Mews Community Centre.

    The City of St. John’s is planning to replace the H.G.R Mews Community Centre. During late May and early June, the city engaged with residents, neighbours, user groups and stakeholders to seek input on facility features, accessibility, potential partnerships, programming and impact on the neighbourhood.

    Feedback noted that current programs and services should continue in an updated, welcoming, and accessible space. Additionally, significant feedback was provided on how a new space could build and improve on existing features. The ‘What we Heard’ report is available here

    During engagement, current and potential users were asked a series of questions online and in person. The process included:

    • Meetings with immediate neighbours
    • An online survey and in-person sessions with recreation groups and partners
    • project page on EngageStJohn's.ca with over 1,700 visits and 123 active engagements
    • A kiosk at the H.G.R Mews community centre with drop in engagement opportunities
    • A focus group with newcomers
    • Meetings with the City’s Inclusion and Seniors Advisory Committees

    Budget for replacement is $24 million. The newly built facility will be of a similar size and scope as the existing centre. The timeline for construction will be available after the design for the new facility is complete.
