Meet community needs by providing publicly accessible multi-purpose spaces that provide recreational/community programming, especially those from Indigenous and vulnerable populations; Improve access to community/recreational infrastructure that fosters greater accessibility through a commitment to meet the minimum highest level of accessibility standards; Improve the quality of community/recreational infrastructure by continuing to operate in an efficient, cost-effective and sustainable manner. This project involves replacing the Family YMCA of St. Thomas-Elgin’s key infrastructure supports that include: - Replace roof over gymnasium - Replace balance of roof (not gym) - Replace PoolPak pool dehumidification unit - Ruild additional facility storage - Retrofit doors to enhance accessibility Having an efficiently running facility will allow us to save on operational costs and gives us the ability to reallocate these savings to support programming for the St. Thomas-Elgin community, including First Nations members and Newcomers; ultimately leading to serving more people. This funding will also allow us to improve the member experience, specifically regarding roof replacement and accessibility projects that will provide a safer environment.
