New and Improved Community Centre
The City rolled out the plans for changes coming to the Burnhamthorpe Community Centre at the RHA’s AGM on October 21.
Milka Slomislic, Project Manager, CDC and Andrew Noble, District Manager, Arenas Golf, unveiled the plans for the new and renovated Community Centre.
Residents were previously advised that the pool at Glen Forest needed to be replaced. In consideration of the cost to rebuild the pool, and the opportunity to update the Burnhamthorpe Community to include a full complement of recreational activities, the City decided to relocate the pool to the community center.
The plans include a 43,000 sq. ft. addition plus renovation to the existing 65,000 sq. ft. structure. The amenities will include: an aquatic center that features both a lap pool and a therapeutic pool, 20 universal change stalls, and a fitness centre with both men’s and women’s change rooms. To make room for the addition, the outdoor rink will be removed.
Construction is anticipated to start in April 2021 with the re-opening in the spring/summer of 2023. Once the construction starts, the existing building will be shut down and all functions and activities will be cancelled.
