At the City, we often have a TON of capital projects happening or in the planning stages - and we want you to know about them!

Some of our bigger Capital Projects have their own project page, but we've also featured a few here. 

Capital Project include new, upgrades to, or the replacement of, City infrastructure. For example:

  • Upgrades to aging and current facilities such as the pool renovation, lighting along trails, sidewalk resurfacing, flooring in buildings, and more.
  • Construction of new facilities such as the Sportsplex, or a new columbarium at the Cemetery
  • Road reconstruction
  • Replacement of essential equipment such as the purchase of a new vehicle, snow plow or Zamboni
  • And much more.

The City's annual budget process always includes an annual operations budget AND a five-year Capital Plan, which lists planned projects by department and by year, and includes basic cost estimates. Capital projects are usually funded through external sources such as grants and other provincial transfers, but can also be funded by internal sources such as reserve transfers. 

Below we are featuring some of our Capital Projects. Some are are complete, while others are in the works. We hope to answer some of the more common questions regarding these projects. Reach out to us if you have any questions about a project that aren't answered here!

    The Sportsplex will be receiving a new roof over the domed roof of the Main Arena this month (June). At the cost of $375,000 this contract was awarded to A&J Roofing and will take approximately 3-4 weeks to complete. The public will see their equipment set up in the parking lot of the Aquatic Centre and parking spaces adjacent to the Sportsplex will be roped off to make room for the contractors to work safely and efficiently.

    The 4800-4900 block of Graham Avenue is receiving a full road reconstruction. Water, Sanitary, & Storm mains are all being replaced and upgraded. New water and Sanitary services replaced to property line, with an addition of a 1.8m asphalt sidewalk, 9m paved road surface with curb and gutter system.

    This is a priority for the City because our sanitary system is close to being at capacity and poses a risk for backing up. Any future development would put a this at risk further.

    A small detour for the public is in place and the contractor has requested local traffic only. That being said, the Spotted Horse Nursery is still open for their regular business hours!

    Substantial completion for the project is expected by September 4th.
