About the Project

The City is making state-of-good repair improvements to the air conditioning system and replacing the roof at St. Lawrence Community Recreation Centre and Co-operative Daycare. The new chiller and air conditioning system will be installed after the roof improvements are completed.

The work is fully funded within the 2024 Capital Budget for Parks and Recreation.

The design is complete, and the process of issuing the construction tender is underway. The project remains on schedule, with construction set to begin in the summer of 2025 and finish by the spring of 2026.
