A big investment is being made into the Comox Community Centre.

The federal government and Mayor Nicole Minions announced a joint investment of more than $485,000 to modernize the Comox Community Centre.

Through this investment, the Centre will become more energy efficient and emit less greenhouse gases.

Gas-fired domestic hot water heating systems will be upgraded to more energy efficient electric heat pumps.

Existing inefficient lighting will be upgraded to LED technology producing increased lighting at a fraction of the cost.

Gas-fired rooftop units, which are a type of heat, ventilation, and air conditioning unit typically used on a facility, will be upgraded to electric atmospheric heat pumps, thereby reducing GHG emissions.

The Comox Community Centre provides a variety of recreation and cultural programs to suit all lifestyles, ages, and interests.

It is equipped with a fitness studio, a multi-purpose hall, a gymnasium, and meeting rooms.

The Town’s goal is to achieve near net-zero emissions by 2030 and modernizing the Community Centre is the next step to making this goal a reality.
