Recreational Complex Reaches Major Milestone (Item 11a) 

We are thrilled to announce that we have reached a significant milestone in the development of our new Recreation Complex! After over six years of meticulous planning and preparation, we are excited to award the construction contract to McDonald Brothers Construction Inc. This project marks a pivotal step in creating a central hub for recreation in our community.

The new Recreation Complex will serve as a vibrant gathering space, promoting physical activity and fostering community involvement. It has been designed to meet the diverse needs of our residents, offering state-of-the-art facilities that will cater to a variety of sports and recreational activities.

This development is more than just a building project; it represents our commitment to enhancing the quality of life for all community members. As shovels hit the ground next month, we look forward to seeing the vision of a dynamic recreational hub come to life. This complex will not only provide a space for physical activity but also serve as a focal point for community engagement and togetherness.

Stay tuned for further updates as this exciting project progresses and join us in celebrating this milestone in our community’s growth and development.
