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 progressing well.

Tillsonburg Community Centre - Aquatics Wing Renovation

Construction Advisory Renovations to the aquatics wing of the Tillsonburg Community Centre (45 Hardy Ave.) are continuing. The exterior stairs on the south and west side of the facility have been demolished in preparation for a new accessible entrance and expanded customer service area. Major funding for the project is being provided by the Government of Canada and the Province of Ontario through the Investment in Canadian Infrastructure Program (ICIP). It is the second phase of the Tillsonburg Community Centre Recreation Rehabilitation project announced in July 2021. Construction will continue throughout the fall, with the renovation anticipated to be complete in the summer of 2024.*
