Pelham Civic Space

Background

The East Fonthill Secondary Plan area, the primary growth area for the Town of Pelham, has been built out with residential, commercial and community land uses. Within the Plan area, the Town has developed a new community centre known as the Meridian Community Centre which has become the community hub for recreation, social and cultural activities and events. The Meridian Community Centre is home to the Jr. B Pelham Panthers, Southern Tier AAA Admirals, Pelham Raiders Lacrosse, Niagara Centre Skating Club, Pelham Minor Hockey Association, and the Pelham Panthers Basketball Association and is also a recognized Seniors Active Living Centre.

Opposite the north side of the Community Centre at the northeast corner of Meridian and Wellspring Way, the Town owns 4403.8m2 of land that is proposed to be developed for a public gathering space/civic/town square.

This phase of the project is being undertaken by the Town of Pelham and SHIFT Landscape Architects, who have prepared two concept plans for Council and the public to review. Once the desired concept is chosen, the project will move forward to the next phase which is preparing drawings for tender and construction.

A date for construction has not been determined at this time.

Background information on the project can be found in the Important Links section located on the right side of this webpage.
