Project Overview:


Councillor Plante's Office along with the City of Ottawa’s Recreational, Cultural and Facility Planning Department are looking for input on the potential improvements and renovation to the Sandy Hill Community Centre, located at 250 Somerset St. East in Ward 12 – Rideau-Vanier.

In 2022, the City of Ottawa conducted an Engage Ottawa Community Survey on how the Sandy Hill Community Centre should potentially be renovated and improved. The feedback has been considered and the City has developed two(2) potential concept plans to expand and renovate the existing facility. The concept plans show the addition of a full-size gymnasium with associated amenities, a new universal washroom, and improvements to the existing main hall, existing upper-level kitchen and existing lower-level gallery.

The Options Analysis is the first step in the realization of the addition and renovation of the Sandy Hill Community Centre project. Securing additional funding is the next necessary step to continue developing the project into schematic and design development phase.

Note that should the project proceed, access to the Community Centre may be affected during construction. Further details will be determined at a later project stage.

Take the short survey below to share your preferred option and any additional comments. A summary of each option is provided below. The survey will be open until August 31, 2024.

Please be aware that the final plan may differ from the concept being presented as a result of the public consultation responses, technical detailing, and supply and/or financial constraints.
