New pavilion to boost outdoor events and activities

Things are taking shape at the Dyment Recreation complex in Melgund Township! The new concrete pad for the community pavilion was just poured this week, and we’re already dreaming about the future.

This is going to be so much more than just a roof and some tables; it’ll be a place for neighbours to connect, for local arts and music to flourish, and for families to share a meal. It’s a spot to simply come and enjoy the beautiful Northwestern Ontario nature here in Melgund Township.

A huge thank you to the Nuclear Waste Management Organization for their generous funding to help bring this wonderful community space to life. Community members are buzzing with excitement to have it all finished and ready for our Canada Day celebrations on July 1st!
