The vision for the Meaford Haven Community Centre got a little more focused recently. We got quite a mixed response from the first round of the virtual focus group that discussed the community centre for our Ontario retirement community. So we refined the questions and begged the indulgence of future residents of the retirement community – and we got some clearer answers.

A fitness facility with group classes found favour with voters, and a swimming pool is definitely desired.

Imagine this… an indoor, salt-water pool that can be used round. In the winter, you enjoy a refreshing and invigorating swim with a beautiful view of snow draped trees and grounds. As the weather warms, presto – the pool is opened to the sun-warmed, landscaped patio, and the indoor pool is outdoors.

The clubhouse atmosphere favoured by most is something not too stuffy, but definitely not drab, either. Something comfortable, like a combination café and pub, seemed to be the preference.

And we also got votes for such additional amenities as a kitchen, office space, a library, and a comfortable indoor mailroom rather than outdoor area mailboxes.
