Locations: McIntyre Community Centre and Archie Dillon Sportsplex
Value: $656,150 + HST
Contractor: G&S Enterprises Ltd.
Status: Awarded
Completion: October 2025
Project Manager: Julie Couture
Project Details:
At the McIntyre Community Centre, the existing exterior ramp will be renovated to meet the requirements of the Accessibility for Ontarians with Disabilities Act (AODA). The current ramp does not meet modern accessibility standards for slope, width, handrails, or landing design, making access challenging for individuals with mobility needs. The new design will also improve crowd circulation at the Arena’s main entrance during major events such as hockey games, concerts, community events, and the annual mining show.
The Archie Dillon Sportsplex will also see improvements to its pool entrance and ramp to better serve residents. The upgrades will align the facility with both AODA and Ontario Building Code requirements and will include adjustments to ramp slope and surface, expanded maneuvering space, improved handrails, and the installation of automatic door openers.
