The federal government will contribute about $30 million to build an $80-million community centre in northwest London.
“I am elated, it’s a great recognition of a much-needed facility for our community that is going to improve the quality of life for folks in the northwest part of London,” Ward 5 Coun. Corrine Rahman said.
“What we’re finding is that between the Canada Games Aquatic Centre, Medway arena, and the Stoney Creek YMCA . . . there’s a lot of pressure on those facilities because of population growth, and with any community centre, you want it to be within the community that it serves, so that it creates opportunities for walkability and easy access.”
