Federal government grants $16.5 million to retrofit Loyalist Township pool
“Once it was removed from service, it was greatly missed and it’s been on the forefront of everyone’s mind and I’ve received a lot of comments about it,” said Hegadorn.Along with the pool retrofit the grant will cover the costs of upgrading the arena and library which are both located in the community centre.
“We’re going to develop a safe, welcoming space dedicated to providing education and also spreading awareness of the Indigenous history and our journey of reconciliation,” said Hegadorn.Hegadorn says the improvements will also make the building more accessible and green. Energy saving components included in the renovation are expected to cut the facility’s greenhouse gas emissions by nearly 40 per cent.
Hegadorn says it’s too soon to put a timeline on the project, but with council budget discussions taking place in the coming weeks and the federal grant in hand renovations it could be done as soon as 2025.
