The new Sunset Community Centre is 30,000 square feet, over 20 percent larger than the existing centre. Major programmable space includes a full-sized gymnasium, two multipurpose rooms, a fitness centre, aerobics/dance room, arts and crafts room, youth room and two pre-schools. As well a new passive park space to the south of the building has been created. Relocating the community centre to Main Street will improve access and increase the visibility of the centre attracting more patrons.
The
Sunset Community Association has worked hard over the past several
years to secure funding for a new facility.
Here is the gym floor. January 2006
On November 15th, 2004 the Park Board approved the
proposal for construction of our new community centre. The Federal
and Provincial Government have made funding commitments of $2 million
each and the balance of funds will come from the Municipal Government.
The new 30,000 square foot facility will be built
on Main Street. Bing Thom Architects presented the design for the
new Sunset Community Centre which will be built to LEED standards
to ensure energy efficiency. The design features an expanded gymnasium,
fitness centre, assembly room and other program spaces.
