W.E. Connect: West End Community Hub Renewal Plan
We are creating a renewal plan for the future West End Community Hub (WECH), which will include a renewed West End Community Centre, King George Secondary School, Joe Fortes Library, the relocated Firehall No. 6 and other important facilities.
The West End Community Hub Renewal Plan will be a document to guide the future of the site’s buildings, programming and outdoor spaces. Since 2021, the community has helped create a vision and provide feedback on what activities and spaces they would like for the future WECH.
Public input
Community members have been involved throughout the project.
- In spring 2021, the community was engaged in co-creating the vision and principles for the project (PDF, 1 MB).
- In winter 2022, the community was involved in identifying the kinds of spaces and activities (PDF, .7 MB) they’d like to see in the future West End Community Hub.
- In spring 2023, the community was invited to share feedback on the location of buildings, spaces and activities on the site (PDF, 4.5 MB).
Next steps
We thank everyone for their participation in our engagement opportunities.
Project partners are reviewing all of the valuable feedback received and finalizing the renewal plan for the community hub. We will share the Renewal Plan when it is finalized.
