The new temporary multi-use facility at Stoney Point Community Park is expected to open early in 2023.
The facility, a 24 by 40-foot mobile unit featuring two accessible entry/exit points and an AODA-compliant washroom, will temporarily serve the community of Stoney Point/Pointe-aux-Roches. The mobile unit is currently on-site at Stoney Point Community Park, with setup and furnishings to be installed throughout November and December.
“Citizens in the area have been clear about their desire for a community space and services, and we appreciate everyone who took the time to share their thoughts and ideas. This feedback will be provided to Council as they set their strategic priorities for the next four years,” said Truper McBride, Lakeshore’s Chief Administrative Officer.
In-person library services will also return to the facility.
“We’re excited to return in-person services to Stoney Point/Pointe-aux-Roches. We are happy to work with our municipal partners to provide a level of service that meets the needs of residents and stakeholders,” said Adam Craig, Essex County Library’s Chief Executive Officer
Once up and running, the library space in the facility will be home to free Wi-Fi and Internet connections, a computer, as well as a selection of books, DVDs, and other resources. The space will also be used for library programs and events, as well as a pick-up and drop-off point for resources.
An announcement regarding plans for the next round of community visioning for the future of Stoney Point Community Park and a permanent community hub facility is expected by the end of 2022.
