Construction will soon be underway for a new community recreational space in Dawson, after a combined investment of $63.9 million from the federal and territorial governments.
The new Dawson City Recreation Centre will provide modern, safe, and accessible amenities for residents and visitors alike. Located on the southeast corner of Dome Road and the North Klondike Highway, the centre will include a variety of recreational amenities, such as an ice rink, curling sheets, a fitness centre, an indoor play area, and an indoor walking loop. Additionally, there will be a community programming space, an office area, and a multi-purpose room.
The design and construction of the new facility have been planned through community feedback and partnership with the City of Dawson and Tr'ondëk Hwëch'in. The new facility will be open year-round and is designed to holistically support health and wellness while honouring local priorities and heritage.
