Emilie Cote, Director of Recreation, Community and Culture

“There are many great, local community groups who would like to provide programming or hold events but need a bigger space or don’t always have the money to pay for a rental. The City is proud to offer two free Community Hubs to make these neighbourhood connections possible.  A Community Hub can provide a chance for groups to connect people for fun, engagement or learning opportunities.”
