Input sought on new Steveston Community Centre
The heart of Steveston is set to get a
facelift.
With plans afoot for a new community centre
and library in Steveston, the City of Richmond wants to hear what you think.
Open houses are scheduled for next Tuesday, Feb. 13 from 5 p.m. to 8 p.m. and
Saturday, Feb. 17 from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m. in the Steveston Community Centre
multipurpose room. As well, further information and the opportunity to complete
an online survey by Feb. 25 are available at
LetsTalkRichmond.ca/stevestoncommunitycentre-phase1.
“Community facilities play an important role
in the delivery of a broad range of services to the public in each of Richmond’s
neighbourhoods,” says Mayor Malcolm Brodie. “Through a rigorous review process,
the replacement of the Steveston Community Centre has been identified as a
priority major facility project for the period of 2016 to 2026. Public input
will contribute to the development of a facility that will reflect and respond
to current and future needs of the community.”
Concept design is an iterative process that
includes the completion of a needs assessment and the development of a program
that will inform the location, size and layout of a new facility. Once the
process is complete, a report outlining concept options and costing is expected
to be brought forward to council for consideration.
There will be several additional
opportunities to provide input in the coming months as the project progresses.

The Steveston Community Centre was opened Nov. 2, 1957 by then-provincial Education Mister Leslie Peterson, just over a decade after the Steveston Community Society was incorporated on Sept. 17, 1946 with the goal of establishing a community centre at Steveston Park.
Today,
facilities at the community centre which is on the north side of Moncton Street
between No. 1 Road and Railway Avenue, include the Japanese Canadian Cultural
Centre, Steveston Martial Arts Building, a gymnasium, fitness centre, games
room, table tennis area, squash court, spin room, three indoor tennis courts,
two outdoor tennis courts, lacrosse box, two softball diamonds, playground,
picnic areas, waterpark and outdoor pool.
