KITCHENER, ONT. – The City of Kitchener in Ontario marked the official groundbreaking of a new community centre and Catholic school in the Rosenberg neighbourhood of Kitchener earlier this month.

Partners on the project are the City of Kitchener and the Waterloo Catholic District School Board.

The new Williamsburg Community Centre will be a 17,000-square-foot facility serving the Rosenberg and Williamsburg neighbourhoods. It will include a double gymnasium, four program rooms, offices and space for a future outdoor rink.  

Once complete, the community centre will replace the existing Williamsburg Community Centre at 1187 Fischer-Hallman Rd. The Williamsburg Community Association will program the space with youth activities and fitness classes for adults. 

“Thanks to our long-standing history of partnerships with the Waterloo Catholic District School Board, our teams developed a great vision for building this new community centre, which has been fully endorsed by City Council through our commitment of $6 million towards the facility,” stated Mayor Berry Vrbanovic in a statement.
