Aqua-Fit Phase 2 is Approved to Start Construction

Beaumont Town Council voted on September 11, to proceed with a $29.5 million dollar renovation to the Aqua-Fit Centre. Construction is scheduled to begin October 2018. Town Council also approved the Aqua-Fit Phase 2 name change to Beaumont Sport and Recreation Centre / centre sportif et de loisirs Beaumont.

Beaumont Sport and Recreation Centre Project is an expansion and modernization of the existing Aqua-Fit Centre to include a National Hockey League sized ice surface, an indoor fieldhouse (multi-sport amenity), a high school gymnasium, a climbing wall and a suspended running track. Other updates will include mechanical updates to the pool filtration system.

“This is an exciting time for the town of Beaumont. As our community grows, so does the need for enhanced facilities, programs and services. Keeping up with growth means creating a livable community for our citizens as we plan for the future. Renovating the Aqua-Fit Centre will strengthen our infrastructure and broaden the scope of services we can provide,” says Mayor John Stewart.

Town of Beaumont through BR2 Architecture, has retained Clark Builders to complete the renovations to the Aqua-Fit Centre. Construction will work around a unique plan aimed at maintaining services for the public.
