Project background 

The Al Palladini Community Centre opened its doors in 1989. Due to its age, the facility requires some updates – including building repairs, and functionality, sustainability and accessibility improvements to meet the Ontario Building Code.

The City is undertaking a feasibility study to establish viable design options for Al Palladini Community Centre. The study will gather input, identify desired improvements and provide recommendations, including cost and prioritization. Once complete, City staff will bring forward a final recommendation and estimated budget to Council for ratification. The approved budget will determine what design options staff move forward with.
