Iroquois Ridge Community Centre to undergo renovations for facility enhancements

The Town of Oakville is planning a series of improvements at Iroquois Ridge Community Centre (IRCC) designed to create a better experience for everyone! Renovations are expected to take place over a six-month period, starting January 2, 2025, to improve operational efficiency, modernize the facility, and enhance the overall customer and visitor experience. 

During the renovations, the IRCC pool will be temporarily closed. To accommodate aquatics program users, additional swim lessons will be offered at other locations. More daytime programming is also planned for White Oaks pool located at 1330 Montclair Drive. In addition, one outdoor pool will open earlier in spring 2025 to accommodate more swimming opportunities. 

There will be minimal operational impact to the other amenities inside IRCC such as the fitness centre, community rooms, Older Adult Centre and Oakville Public Library’s Iroquois Ridge Branch during the renovation. Impacted customers and rental clients will be kept informed of any temporary service disruptions and alternative options will be provided whenever possible.

Key highlights of the renovation include:

• A newly designed, fully accessible customer service desk, providing an enhanced experience with improved flow and efficiency.
• Heat pump replacement throughout the facility for energy efficiency and to ensure comfortable temperatures year-round.
• Complete overhaul of the pool HVAC system, significantly improving energy efficiency, reducing utility costs, and enhancing air quality for all users.
• Replacement of pool deck lighting, with more energy efficient fixtures.
• Tile replacement, offering a fresh and modern look throughout the community centre, including re-tiling of the pool deck area.

Community members are encouraged to check the Iroquois Ridge Community Centre Renovations page for any short-term service disruptions and the most up-to-date information on the project's progress.
