The Grand Bend community centre is one step closer to becoming a reality.

A conceptual facility design proposes a variety of features for the much anticipated addition to the community.

The proposal includes several amenities on the main floor

The upper floor would feature the following

The outside of the facility would include an outdoor kitchen, picnic area, and parking.

The proposed location for the facility is 18 Municipal Drive, Grand Bend (Lion’s Park) – which is near the intersection of highways 21 and 81.

Currently the property is home to a baseball diamond, pavilion and outdoor shuffleboard court that would be decommissioned to make room for the new community centre.

An estimated budget pegs the project in the range of $17.5 million to $20 million.

Currently, members of the community can submit their feedback on the proposal until January 31.
