Guelph, Ont., April 16, 2026 – The Evergreen Seniors Community Centre, located at 683 Woolwich Street in Guelph, will be closed from June 29 – mid-September for renovations.
During this time, construction crews will be working in different areas of the building: the men’s and women’s washrooms, the change rooms and the front entrance.
The upgrades will focus on creating fully accessible, modern washrooms that support dignity and independence for all users. Work will include:
- Wider, clearer pathways to improve mobility for wheelchair and mobility device users
- Installing accessible fixtures like collapsable coat hooks, grab bars and an adult sized change table
- New accessible showers with fold-down seats
- New durable finishes, including slip-resistant flooring, wall finishes, countertops and toilet partitions
- Energy efficient lighting and plumbing fixtures
- Emergency call systems with both audible and visual alerts
- Power door operators
- A new universal washroom, designed to accommodate individuals of all abilities.
During this time, the centre will be closed for programs. City-run seniors programs will be relocated to Victoria Road Recreation Centre and West End Community Centre. All City-run programs are listed on recenroll.ca. If you need support navigating program registration during this time, please contact: [email protected]
GWSA‑run activity groups will operate at various locations across the city. For more information, please contact [email protected] or call 519‑265‑7722 ext. 0.
Bistro 683 will be closed for in person dining, but will be offering a bi-weekly meal pick-up program during the closure. Ordering details will be found soon on the Bistro’s webpage.
