Media Release: Mariners Centre Expansion Construction Tender Awarded
- Published: October 30, 2024
Wednesday, October 30th, 2024 - Yarmouth, N.S.–The Mariners Centre Expansion Board (MCEB) has made a significant move forward with the planned expansion at Mariners Centre. The construction tender that was issued earlier this fall has been awarded to RCS Construction Inc. Construction will begin next month, and the project is expected to be completed by the fall of 2026.
“This is more than a wellness project. This is an investment in the health and wellbeing of our residents and will surely be a tool in the recruitment of new residents that choose Yarmouth County as their home. We are all so excited to be a part of this legacy project,” said Nicole Albright, chairperson of the Mariners Centre Expansion Board. “This project could not have become a reality without our dedicated staff, our funding partners at all levels of government, and the incredible work of our fundraising committee, who surpassed all expectations. The community is indebted to the generosity and commitment of this region.”
The campus-style hub expansion will offer amenities for health, wellness, and entertainment. Featuring a modern aquatics center, the new facility will provide a six-lane, 25-meter pool, a leisure pool, a fitness center, multi-purpose spaces, and an indoor walking track. The expansion will support programming and activities for youth and youth at risk, families, seniors and visitors alike — meeting contemporary environmental and physical accessibility standards.
Planning for a sod turning event will be announced shortly. The entire community will be invited to join the celebration to kick-off construction of this incredible new recreation facility.
