Wilmot Aquatic Centre is a reality in 2011!

Next time you drive past our magnificent Wilmot Recreation Complex you may likely see a new set of construction vehicles, barriers, workers and signs; last week at Council Phase II of our recreation complex was given a resounding green light!

At a cost of about $11.6, the new aquatics centre with competition swim lanes, warm-up pool, walking track, seniors and youth centres (and much more!) is expected to be complete by the fall of 2011. Most importantly, it is being constructed debt-free and without borrowing or reduction of other municipal programs.

I'm looking forward to using this facility with my kids! On top of spending time on the ice, I know they'll be spending lots of time in the pool as well!

New Dundee Park Improvement Open House

The New Dundee Parks Improvement Committee will be hosting an informal Open House (drop-in format) to collect additional feedback on the upgrades to our Community Park. Based on feedback from the community already provided, they will also like to present some improved diagrams that have incorporated ideas such as repositioning some of the new features including the walking path, parking areas, new trees and multi-use pad to better service our community, events and user groups. We value your input and opinion!
Contact the committee at:

Please join them on Tuesday June 22nd from 6pm-8pm.

There have been some questions and comments raised about how the different features of the park improvments can be altered to better service the community needs - through additional feedback and communication we will ensure that appropriate solutions are found for all.
