The Town of Pelham has revitalized a community space with $750,000 in support from the Federal Economic Development Agency for Southern Ontario Canada Community Revitalization Fund (CCRF). The project includes the addition of accessible washrooms, covered entry and a community room adjacent to Peace Park.
Peace Park in Fonthill is a central location for Pelham recreation. Town Hall, located adjacent to the park, has undergone an addition to add fully accessible washrooms, an accessible covered entryway, and indoor community spaces. The renovation to Town Hall will now allow access to the restrooms and community room directly from Peace Park. Peace Park, home to the Pelham Farmers' Market, Summer Chill series, Summerfest, and the Thursday night Bandshell concerts, hosts thousands of residents and visitors each year.
