A generous donation for the new community centre in West Lincoln.
Smithville Home Hardware and Building Centre presented a cheque of $100,000 in support of the new community recreation centre which is under construction at the old fair grounds beside the old arena.
The centre will include an ice pad surface with seating for 450 people, an library, a walking track, gymnasium, splash pad and skate board park.
Construction is expected to be complete by January 2019.
“Thanks to a generous community the $1.5 million Together … a vibrant tomorrow Capital Campaign has surpassed the $1 million mark. The campaign will wrap up by the end of the year”, says Chris Freure, Campaign Chair.
“As the Township of West Lincoln continues to grow the new Community Recreation Centre is a much-needed important facility that will enhance the quality of life for all residents. In response to the community growth the Smithville Home Hardware has recently expanded to include a Home Hardware Building Centre adjacent to the store to better serve our community. Growth is important to communities and we are thrilled to donate $100,000 to support the construction of the new Community Recreation Centre.”, says Mike Keizer.
