Square One Older Adult Centre Renovation Update:

Program Room Renovation:
Thank you to our Sponsor: Service Canada for a grant of $25,000 to renovate, update and replace equipment in the Program Room. We now have ample storage for our community groups and Centre programs. We also have a permanent coat rack. The clutter has been reduced and tucked away in a small storage room at the back of the room.
This project is funded by the Government of Canada's New Horizons for Seniors program.

Cafeteria Renovation:
Thank you to our Sponsor: Royal Canadian Legion, Streetsville, Branch 139 for the donation of over $14,000 to renovate, upgrade and replace our Café appliances. Our Board of Directors also contributed $8,000 toward this project. We are very excited to finally have a dishwasher to reduce waste and be more efficient. This project also funded a new electric screen for the Auditorium.
