MP Sahota Secures Investment to Improve Local Community Centre
The Voice of Canada News – Brampton, ON – Ms Ruby Sahota, Member of Parliament for Brampton North recognizes that Canadians everywhere are feeling the impact of COVID-19, on their families, their livelihoods and their way of life. The Federal Liberal Government is working to reduce the impact of the pandemic, ensure health and safety, rebuild businesses, and promote job creation, growth and investment.
“Investing in community recreation centres promotes people’s health and well-being and builds inclusive and sustainable communities where people want to live, work and raise families,” said MP Sahota. “The renovation of the Chinguacousy Wellness Centre will provide better access to recreational opportunities for the residents of Brampton. Canada’s infrastructure plan invests in thousands of projects, creates jobs across the country, and builds cleaner, more inclusive communities.”
The Government of Canada is investing $572,000 in this project through the Community, Culture and Recreation Infrastructure Stream (CCRIS) of the Investing in Canada plan. The Government of Ontario is providing $476,619, while the City of Brampton is contributing $381,381.
The project consists of interior and exterior renovations to the recreation centre to improve accessibility and user experience. Interior upgrades include new washrooms, change rooms, a sauna, locker amenities, and shower facilities. Upgraded floor drainage in all areas, including retiling of the hot tub area, will also enhance safety.
On the building’s exterior, repairs to the walkways and catch basins will improve drainage on the north side. Upgraded parking lot lighting will include brighter, more energy-efficient fixtures. The Chinguacousy Wellness Centre upgrades are part of the City of Brampton’s Parks and Recreation Master Plan, a renewal plan for Brampton’s recreation centres.
Chinguacousy Wellness Centre remains closed due to the province-wide shut down in response to COVID-19. The renovations are expected to take place starting in Spring 2021.
