Friendship Centre Facility Improvements Coming This Summer
To complete these improvements, the Friendship Centre facility is expected to close for approximately four to six weeks, starting the week of July 20. Town staff have developed a service continuity plan to ensure programs and services can continue with minimal disruption.
"We are excited to make these improvements to the Friendship Centre while continuing to provide the programs and services that our community relies on," said Jenny Mikita, Senior Services Manager. "These updates will create a more welcoming, accessible and functional space for everyone who uses the facility."
Throughout the closure:
-
Customer service, registrations, payments and volunteer inquiries will continue Monday to Friday from 8:30 a.m. to 4:30 p.m. at the Pyramid Recreation Centre (please enter through door B or D).
-
Group fitness classes, Falls Prevention and several social and recreational programs will relocate to spaces within the Pyramid Recreation Centre.
-
Pickleball will move to the St. Marys DCVI double gym.
-
Shuffleboard will relocate to the LIND Sportsplex.
-
Mobility Services and Friendship Centre staff will continue serving the community from temporary locations within the Pyramid Recreation Centre.
