On May 20, 2025, Mayor DeViet, MP Lianne Rood, members of council, and representatives from the architecture firm officially re-opened the Middlesex Centre municipal office and Coldstream Community Centre following extensive renovations.
Over the past year and a half, Middlesex Centre expanded and modernized the municipal office, creating new spaces for the building, engineering, and planning departments, along with a larger council chamber. The renovation also incorporated a universal washroom and other accessibility enhancements.
While the municipal office was closed, the municipality also refreshed the attached Coldstream Community Centre by installing new windows, upgrading washrooms, replacing flooring, and adding fresh paint. Many organizations and residents use this space for meetings, special events, fitness classes, and community celebrations.
“These major renovations will meet the needs of not only municipal staff but all residents across Middlesex Centre,” said Mayor DeViet. “It is a place for residents to gather and participate in their local government, and a welcoming space for service clubs, fitness class members, and others to celebrate milestone events."
This project represents a significant investment in both the municipal office and community centre, ensuring they serve Middlesex Centre’s growing community today and into the future.
