The centre will offer a variety of services and programming to the people of North York, while honouring the area’s Indigenous pastCBC NewsThe Ethennonnhawahstihnen' Community Recreation Centre and Library is over 200,000 square feet in size over three storeys.
Among the highlights, the 218,400-square-foot centre features a large aquatics centre, a double gymnasium, indoor track, weight room, dance studio and teaching kitchen for community cooking classes. The large facility will also serve the new Park Place development nearby, which is expected to have 10,000 residents once complete. It's also located right next to Bessarion subway station, which Toronto's program manager of capital projects Mario Pecchia hopes will "draw people from outside the community as well because it's such a large facility."
The centre is also located near a culturally significant site for the Huron-Wendat people. The Moatfield Ossuary, discovered in 1997, was once an Indigenous village, dating back nearly 800 years.
