3.2.2 Other Community Centre Components
The Tillsonburg Community Centre has undergone major capital improvements to its aquatic and related facility components. As the Centre will continue to be a primary focus for indoor recreation, the need to further update and diversify its range of facilities is discussed below.

The components to be included in this study are discussed below. Recommendation
arena floor use, detract from making more efficient use of the arenas in accommodating demand. In advance of providing a third ice pad, the Town can work with ice users to optimize use to the two existing pads, and consider the cost-benefit of the following approaches: • Introducing a third hourly user fee to incentivize use past typical weeknight hours along with extending operating hours beyond 11pm. • Investigating the feasibility of extending the ice-in season in terms of ice integrity, building temperature control, etc. • Building non-prime time ice use, wherever possible.
