An update from Mayor McIsaac, July 4, 2025:
I have had a few question over the past week regarding the status of the Trout Creek Community Centre.
The Municipality has worked with a group of industry professionals from our community and tendered a Request For Proposal (RFP).
The main focus of the RFP is to review the interior and exterior support columns of the TCCC. We are also providing a review to determine if the work that was performed in the fall of 2024 would enable the municipality to operate the TCCC this up coming winter season.
The RFP Tender closes on July 10th. A review will be completed and a recommendation will be put forward to Council on at the July 15th Council Meeting.
If you have any questions, please feel free to ask. ##
