| Project Background |
|
Over two years ago, the need became apparent to address energy inefficiency and accessibility issues. A decision was made to replace the outdated portion of the centre with a newly constructed addition, consisting of an expanded accessible entranceway, larger meeting room, orderly cloak room, and barrier-free washrooms to create a more useful and energy efficient space. Brockton Council approved the renovation to the Cargill Community Centre entranceway at their February 12, 2018 Council Meeting. The project is expected to cost $805,000, with the municipality committed to finance 40% of this project. The C.D.C.F. committee strives for the betterment of the Cargill community for everyone to enjoy. The committee are fundraising the remaining $485,000 for this project. Financial support through grants, sponsorships, and donations have raised $185,000 to date. A public campaign is being launched to raise the remaining $300,000. |

Elmwood Community Centre Kitchen Renovation Project
The Elmwood Community Center kitchen was constructed in 1967 and faces many challenges in its current state. The Elmwood Community Centre is undergoing renovations to their kitchen to meet accessibility requirements, and improve energy efficiency, work space ergonomics, fire suppression, ease of operation and improved sound quality for hall patrons.
This project is a partnership between the Municipality of Brockton, the Municipality of West Grey, and the Elmwood Community Centre Board.
A Request for Proposal was submitted in September 2018, and the Tender was awarded to Domm Construction Ltd. to begin work on the community centre renovations.
More information coming soon.
