Across the province, Ontarians are enjoying winter activities at renovated and expanded arenas, trails and community centres.

With the support of the province more than 170 recreational infrastructure projects were completed in 2010, with more than 560 projects currently under construction.  These completed projects are providing Ontarians with opportunities to get active with friends and neighbours at arenas, community centres, curling rinks and on trails.  The projects have also helped create important construction jobs in communities across Ontario.

Some of these projects include:

• Upgrading of Pays Plat First Nation Rink to a Multi-Purpose Complex
• Manitouwadge Waste Water Lagoon Project
• Manitouwadge Airport Infrastructure
• Provide Potable Water to the Visitors Information Centre in Marathon
• Regional Waste Management System in Marathon
• Red Rock Recreation Center Boiler Replacement
• Improvements to the Red Rock Recreation Center
• Red Rock Water Meter Program
• Red Rock Lighting Retrofit 
• Resurfacing of Schreiber’s Sunset Drive

• Terrace Bay Public Library and Cultural Enhancement Project
• Upgrading of Terrace Bay Municipal Swimming Pool
• Improvements to Geraldton Arena

Investing in recreational infrastructure and encouraging job creation is part of the Open Ontario Plan to grow a stronger economy.
