The Town began working with the community and with consulting firm MHBC Planning in June 2017 to determine the future of the 18-acre parcel of land and existing facilities located at 125 Simcoe Road. 

Council received a final report from MHBC in August of 2018, which provides a concept plan for achieving the maximum potential of the full parcel of land. Council directed staff to proceed with more detailed planning and costing; however, at this time, have not committed to a specific scope of work or timeline. 

Work will proceed this year on needs prioritization and budget planning, and determining how this property fits into the Town's overall long-term facility needs.

Following is a timeline of the project:

• October 2017 - visioning workshop with stakeholders including sports groups, local service groups and others who have or might use community space 
  
• December 2017 - public survey
  
• February 2018 - Public Open House #1 to review and provide input on four possible concepts

• August 2018 - Final Recommendation Report presented, including a preferred concept that would incorporate a Town Hall and Council Chambers, flexible space for use by community groups, incubator space for small business start-ups, as well as indoor and outdoor recreational facilities and potentially affordable housing.
