A Community Centre for South East Oakville
•Survey representing 220 residents and 10% of
our area showed:
• 93% agreed a Town Community centre below
the QEW in Ward 3 is needed
•88% strongly agreed or agreed they would use
a Community Centre in Ward 3
•The most desired facilities were: fitness
centre, gym, pool, senior and youth programs
Draft Parks and Recreation Master Plan
•Released in Nov 2011
•Concern is that it calls only for a minor
community centre for Southeast Oakville which
would NOT include pool, arena or a library
depending on the location.
• South Central Public Land Study will review
the following lands: Chisholm, Brantwood,
Linbrook, Hospital Lands, Centennial Square,
Oakville Arena, Trafalgar Park
• Town has agreed that the study must be
flexible to consider the viability of a major
community centre on the lands
• Resident Associations welcomed to work with
Sub Committee overseeing study and public
consultation

•All Ward 3 Resident Associations support a
community centre for South East Oakville;
location to be determined based on South
Central Public Land Study analysis
•Come out to the Public Consultations when the
dates are announced and add your voice to
creating a community centre for our part of
Oakville
Ward Boundaries
•Town hired Consultant to make
recommendations.
•Initial options now updated and Town seeking
feedback
•JCRA supports 3 Wards either below the QEW or

considering communities of interest, natural
boundaries and effective representation.

raise concerns and where appropriate we can
speak on behalf of the residents
