KITCHENER, ONT.—Three levels of government are providing joint funding to support the construction of an Aquatic Centre at RBJ Schlegel Park in Kitchener, Ont.
Work will include the construction of an eight-lane, 25-metre-long pool with a removable floor and ramp access, bleacher seating, community use multi-purpose rooms, public washrooms and food and beverage services.
The federal government is investing more than $9.7 million in the project through the Community, Culture and Recreation Infrastructure Stream of the Investing in Canada plan; the province is providing more than $8.1 million; and the City of Kitchener is contributing more than $6.5 million.
“With over $8.1 million in provincial funding, the Aquatic Centre at RBJ Schlegel Park in Kitchener is another great example of how we are working to support local communities and residents,” said Ontario Minister of Infrastructure Laurie Scott in a statement. “Recreational infrastructure projects like these are so important to people and families. From swimming lessons to community events, this will be a wonderful new hub for local residents to enjoy.”
