Major pieces of equipment and some infrastructure components of the facility will be replaced, repaired and/or improved. The Recreation Centre is an important hub in the Town of Hearst, as much for the population at large as for the students from the local schools that are all within walking distance. People of all ages, from newborns to senior citizens converge to the Centre to mingle, to exercise on the ice and in the pool and to participate in fitness classes. It is a gathering place; it helps to reduce isolation. The project will enhance the service level and increase usage (See APPENDIX N for complete descr.)
