About the Project

The renovation and expansion of the Dwight Community Centre and Library transforms the facility into an enhanced Community Hub, offering improved services and amenities for our residents and visitors. This project officially began in 2023 with a community survey that gathered input from over 170 community members about the area's needs and priorities for this space.

What You Told Us

In 2023, a survey and in-person session gathered community feedback which strongly supported the project.
