Youth Centre Construction Update: Exterior Cladding, Windows and Doors Complete!

Fall is nearly over and Thanksgiving is behind us,  but we are still embracing the spirit of gratitude at Dixon Hall as we continue to work on our new youth centre! This project is a wonderful example of how a shared vision for a supportive community space can become a reality: in this instance as a new space for young people in Regent Park. In this modern facility, the nearly 1,000 youth we work with every year – through both our Music School and our general Children & Youth programming − will know there is a community of champions who believe in them, and who believe in their potential.

We’re happy to share another project milestone – the one year anniversary of breaking ground on the centre and beginning the construction phase of our journey! Construction has progressed quickly over the last 12 months, and we have completed the exterior cladding,

Short and sweet summer is officially over. Here are some highlights from our summer of community, with opportunities to get involved with the agency and transition into a fall of connection!

Summer camp is often a highlight for young people in Regent Park and for our Children & Youth team. This summer, our campers have had exciting new activities like their own Caribbean Carnival, and drama programs with Djennie Laguerre.

Amid the changing seasons, construction has continued on our new youth centre and we’re beginning exterior work on the building.

On Wednesday, April 24th, Dixon Hall hosted a ribbon-cutting ceremony to celebrate the start of construction at our new youth centre.
