MAYOR’S MESSAGE

Welcome to a new season of recreation, arts and leisure programming in the Town of Tillsonburg. The renovation of the aquatics wing at the Community Centre is nearing completion, and we’re anticipating a phased reopening to begin in January. Remember you can stay up to date on the project’s progress at www.tillsonburg.ca/recnews. We’re also looking forward to the J.L. Scott McLean Outdoor Recreation Pad re-opening for the season.
