Overview

The Loyalist Township Community Hub project is an exciting initiative which will create a place for residents to come together as a community. The first phase of the project will involve the expansion and renovation of the W.J. Henderson Recreation Centre and will allow for expanded recreation programming. Infrastructure Canada recently announced that Loyalist Township was successful in its application to the Green and Inclusive Community Building Fund, which will provide $16.5 million in funding towards the project.  

This phase of the project includes: 

  • Construction of a new aquatic facility including conversion of the existing pool building into change rooms.
  • New Legacy Space in partnership with the Gord Downie and Chanie Wenjack Fund.
  • Accessibility upgrades throughout the existing facility, including the addition of an elevator and accessible change rooms and viewing areas.
  • Incorporation of energy conservation measures throughout the facility to reduce energy costs and greenhouse gas emissions.

Two drop-in public information sessions were held at the W.J. Henderson Recreation Centre on January 16, 2023 with morning and afternoon sessions.  The project boards remained up at the W. J. Henderson Centre until January 27 for feedback. You can watch the short videos that walk you through the concepts and plans for Phase One. Additional comment or feedback was sought via a survey available from January 3 to 27, 2023.  

If you would like to receive updates and information about how to get involved in the project, please sign up to the project email list.
