In August, we hosted a groundbreaking at The Dryden Recreation Centre to launch the construction of a new family-friendly and inclusive change room, made possible with funding from our Energizing Life initiative. This project will energize life in the community by ensuring a welcoming and safe space for all whilst allowing residents to pursue an active lifestyle.

The Centre acts as the heart of the active and tight-knit community of Dryden, offering programming to all ages and abilities at the Pool & Fitness Centre. The local facility is excited to expand its services offering to even more individuals with the new change space.

“Our vision is to create a space for everyone within our community. With the support of Hydro One, we will be able to welcome additional visitors to the building and our services with an accessible, inclusive and family-friendly change space at the Dryden Recreation Centre. The new change room will be a safe space for our patrons to use with their families, always with the aim of making them feel welcome to participate in our facility programming opportunities.”

We feel a responsibility to partner with municipalities like Dryden that are working tirelessly to keep their residents feel included and safe while they enjoy the Centre’s amenities.
