Community Build Up +Projects Updates

Our goal from the beginning has been to create a space that will rejuvenate the connectedness of our community. That idea started as a small renovation, but has now grown to include the construction of a completely new building and greatly expanded community space. Here is where we are along that path:

So far in our rejuvenation journey:

  • Increased the property boundaries, allowing us to expand the community space and relocate the new building further back from the road to be in compliance. Community members and families supported this initiative.

  • Cleared areas of the property in order to build a beautiful and accessible playground.

  • Carefully took down our original 200 year old hall, preserving its original frame structure to be used as exposed beams in the new building. Original sign hangs proudly in the New ‘Hall’.

  • Excavated the land to prepare for the new building.

  • Poured our new concrete foundation/floor for which the new building will be built on.

  •  The original framework is  featured on the inside of the new building.

  •  With the support of Dexter’s Construction,  a parking area  was built in order to allow people to park safely when visiting the new community centre.

  • We’ve framed, enclosed, and put a roof on the building; in September the supports and roof were added on the outdoor pavilion. Much of this work was done through COVID.
