We are happy to announce that renovations on the men’s and lady’s washrooms is starting Monday, July 6, 2020. This project was approved late in 2019 and the past several months have been focused on detailed drawings, tenders, contractor selection and issuing of the contract. PK Construction was selected as the Contractor, and construction is estimated to take 8-10 weeks to complete. As many of you know, the washrooms at the Centre are in very poor condition. After renovations are completed, we will have attractive and functioning facilities. Since this is going to be a busy construction site, safety is a priority. With this, the Centre is off limits for all until construction has finished. Exciting times! Thank you.
