Twin-Pad Arena and Library Project
The building of a new twinpad arena and library have been identified as priorities for this term of council.
The Wasaga Stars Arena is nearing the end of its lifespan and the Wasaga Beach Public Library has been identified as too small to properly serve the town's population.
Since the start of this term, staff and council have worked together to determine possible sites for a new library and twinpad arena.
On Oct. 15, 2019, following a public consultation process, council selected 544 River Rd. W. for the site of the town's new twinpad arena and library.
Work on the project is ongoing.
In July, 2021, we issued tender documents to five pre-qualified general contractors. They had until Aug. 11 to submit bids.
Council awarded the building contract to Aquicon Construction Company Ltd. on Tuesday, Sept. 7, 2021.

2nd floor to library
i can't tell if there is an actual 2nd floor to the library, and if so I hope design has included a ramp or elevator to make it accessible to everyone.
