Construction restarts

We are pleased to share a positive update on the Building Together project.

Over the past several months, the project team has been investigating a water egress issue that was identified during construction. A solution has been developed, and successful testing has demonstrated that it works. This means we are ready to move forward with the necessary remediation and restart construction.

As a result of this work, the project schedule has been extended, with completion now anticipated in 2027.

Over the coming weeks, you will begin to see activity on site again. The building will be scaffolded and wrapped to allow for the remediation work. As we move into the rainy season, the building will remain wrapped until the exterior is fully watertight, helping to protect the building and support the quality of the work.

We are excited to see construction moving ahead once again and will continue to keep our staff, partners, and community informed as the project progresses.

Pause in construction

We are currently experiencing a delay in the construction of our new building. This delay will extend the project timeline into 2027. At this time, we do not yet know how far into 2027 the delay will be, but we are actively working with our partners to understand the impacts and revised schedule better. Our programs and services continue as usual and are not impacted by this delay. As soon as we have more information, we will share it with you.

Despite this setback, we remain confident in our ability to successfully complete this project to a high standard. Community Services has a long history of delivering complex projects through strong oversight, thoughtful planning, and responsible risk management. That same diligence continues to guide this work.

Projects of this size and complexity can encounter challenges along the way. When issues arise, our approach is to address them promptly, work collaboratively with the appropriate experts, and make decisions that protect the long-term success of the project. While delays are disappointing, they are being managed carefully, and our commitment to creating a high-quality space that serves our community for years to come remains unchanged. We will continue to provide updates as the revised timeline becomes clearer.
