Over $16 million in funding is on the way from the province to help build a new recreation centre in Wellesley.
The money was announced Thursday and will go to supporting the nearly $22 million centre in the township which officials say will provide the community with recreational programming in a modern facility with a lower carbon footprint.
The new facility will include an ice pad, space for a senior centre and youth centre, walking track, gymnasium, and two soccer pitches.
Construction is anticipated to begin in March 2022 with the recreation centre expected to open in Fall 2023.
