Construction continues at the Community Resource & Recreation Centre in Niverville, where work has largely moved indoors for the winter. Although there have been some delays, the building is on track to be finished this upcoming June.
The interior is now taking shape, with the arena on the east side and the multiuse fieldhouse on the west side. Between are a series of dressing rooms and bathrooms, above which sit seating areas. The second floor space above the dressing rooms will also house breakout rooms and meeting rooms. A running track follows the perimeter of the fieldhouse’s second level.
Once complete, the fieldhouse will be a gymnasium-like space with hardwood floors, but it will also be customizable for meetings and other public functions. The town foresees that it will be used for large group gatherings, such as high school graduations, concerts, town receptions, and Remembrance Day ceremonies—just to name a few possibilities.
