• Building and site plans for the St. Clements Recreation Centre are now complete. The RM will now be applying for grants from the federal and provincial governments and other sources to secure funding to start construction. Council is also considering borrowing money.

The project is budgeted for $3 million and to be funded with a combination of grants, fund raising and borrowing.

Municipal owned land on Donald Road has been selected as the best spot to develop a new facility. A committee of Council is reviewing all your past input and expects to have a design for a building and property development this fall.

The building and site are planned as a community gathering place for connecting with friends and neighbours. The building features a ‘community living room’, space for a daycare, a catering kitchen, a large space for volleyball, pickleball, fitness classes, social events and more.

The landscape features a pond with a 500 metre walking track around it and native plants to help control waterfowl populations. In winter, the pond can be used for skating and toboganning from the adjacent small hills. An added bonus to the pond is that it will also assist with drainage in the area and remove nutrients from the water before draining into the Red River.
