As promised when Council first consulted on the Bruce Community Facility, if there was a significant change to any of the key components of this project we would return for further discussions and direction from you.
Vision: To develop a vibrant, contemporary multipurpose community facility which fosters an appreciation for a healthy, balanced and enriched lifestyle.
The Bruce Community Facility is being designed as a place for everyone. Families and individuals of all ages and backgrounds from throughout the wider Bruce area will have a much-needed new multi-purpose facility that will offer a huge range of services all year round. From swimming lessons, competitions and aquatic play through to digital help, library programmes, celebrating local history and access to information, this facility will offer a central point for people to connect.
The new building will also make a significant contribution to the ongoing upgrade of Union Street by providing a focal point on Milton’s main thoroughfare, encouraging increased foot traffic to surrounding businesses and other services.
Integral to the development of this project is its community-led, partnership approach. Council and the Bruce Community Facility Trust are crucial to its success.
This proposed facility is intergenerational, to meet the community needs now, and into the future, for the next 50 years.
