Important upgrades to improve accessibility are planned at two recreational facilities. Council has awarded two contracts totaling $656,150 to G&S Enterprises Ltd. for renovations at the McIntyre Community Centre and Archie Dillon Sportsplex.
At the McIntyre Community Centre, the existing exterior ramp will be renovated to meet the requirements of the Accessibility for Ontarians with Disabilities Act (AODA). The current ramp does not meet modern accessibility standards for slope, width, handrails, or landing design, making access challenging for individuals with mobility needs. The new design will also improve crowd circulation at the Arena’s main entrance during major events such as hockey games, concerts, community events, and the annual mining show.
The Archie Dillon Sportsplex will also see improvements to its pool entrance and ramp to better serve residents. The upgrades will align the facility with both AODA and Ontario Building Code requirements and will include adjustments to ramp slope and surface, expanded maneuvering space, improved handrails, and the installation of automatic door openers.
“These upgrades are not only about meeting standards, they help ensure that everyone in our community can participate and enjoy our public spaces.” says Steph Palmateer, City Clerk and Director of Community Services. “Both projects represent an investment in inclusive and accessible spaces.”
Upgrades are planned for this summer. For more information on municipal accessibility, visit: www.timmins.ca/our_services/accessibility.
