Guelph, Ont., September 2, 2026 – The Evergreen Seniors Community Centre, located at 683 Woolwich Street in Guelph, will reopen on Wednesday, September 9.
It was closed on June 29 to allow construction crews to upgrade the men’s and women’s washrooms, the change rooms and the front entrance. As a result, these areas are now fully accessible, modern, and support dignity and independence for all users.
Specifically, the work included:
- Wider and clearer pathways to improve mobility for wheelchair and mobility device users
- Installation of accessible fixtures like collapsible 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.
All City-run seniors’ programs that relocated to Victoria Road Recreation Centre and West End Community Centre during the closure will move back to the Evergreen Seniors Community Centre on September 9.
