The Ontario government is investing more than $7 million to protect jobs and to support the construction of a new, state-of-the-art aquatic centre in Uxbridge.

This project is also part of the $200-million Community Sport and Recreation Infrastructure Fund (CSRIF), a province-wide initiative to revitalize local facilities, grow the economy, and promote active, healthy living across Ontario.

The new aquatic centre will replace North Durham’s only indoor pool with a modern facility that will feature an eight-lane, 25-m (82-ft) pool for swimming and fitness, a therapy and teaching pool, and a multi-sport space designed for basketball, pickleball, and fitness programming.

Once complete, it will serve as a year-round hub for sport, wellness, and community activities. It will support swimming lessons, rehabilitation therapy, competitive training, and recreational leagues while providing a welcoming space for families, seniors, and youth to stay active and connected.
