A Pavilion for All Seasons

Crafting a Central Gathering Place for Food, Arts, and Community Life in Melgund Township

The new Melgund Township Pavilion at the Dyment Recreation Hall is rapidly approaching completion. The multi-purpose structure is being completed this week. It’s a flexible, multi-purpose outdoor space that will greatly enhance the community’s ability to support a range of special events.

This new community asset for the Local Services Board of Melgund is designed to host a diverse range of events. Plans for the pavilion include serving as a venue for food-related activities, local markets, and community potlucks. It will also support cultural initiatives such as craft fairs and live musical performances.

The project is on track to be finished in time for Canada Day Celebrations. Special thanks to the Nuclear Waste Management Organization for contributing the funding for construction of this delightful new facility, which is expected to provide a dedicated space for community gatherings and events within Melgund Township.
