Background
In 2019 the Municipality of Jasper secured provincial and federal grant funding towards a major renovation of the Activity Centre, Arena, and Fitness & Aquatic facilities.
In 2021, Council budgeted $1,056,228 for design and engineering related to the facilities, and an additional $200,000 for a Structural Review of the Fitness & Aquatic Centre. In August 2021, Council awarded Project Management services on the renovation to WSP and in December 2022, Council selected GEC Architecture as the prime consultant.
On May 3, 2022, Council approved the project scope which included a total of approximately $14 million dollars in items. Most recently in July 2022, Council awarded the Construction Management services contract to Carlson Construction.
As part of project approvals, the Municipality of Jasper is working with the Parks Canada development office, and will be presenting to the Planning and Development Advisory Committee (PDAC) to request a variance on the number of parking stalls and staff accommodation bedrooms required by Parks Canada for the project. The Municipality of Jasper has not included staff accommodation bedrooms in any of the plans for the Jasper Activity Centre Renovation Project. For more information regarding this, please contact the Parks Canada Development Office at jasperdevelopment@canada.ca
