The crew has successfully poured several new concrete features. Next, they will remove the forms, and complete the new retaining walls as they finish this phase of the project.

The attached photo was taken during last week’s concrete pour. It shows the extent of wooden formwork required to hold the wet concrete in place until it dries.

Significant progress continues in the parking lot with crews completing the installation of the new storm drainage system. Most concrete removals have also been completed with only minor remain work and select areas

On Friday, July 31st, crews are scheduled to begin removing the existing asphalt as they prepare for the new parking lot. This operation will involve heavy equipment and may generate increased noise and dust throughout the day. We appreciate your patience as this phase of construction moves forward.

Reflection Space:

Work and the reflection space continues to advance with the new storm drainage system near in completion. Crews are currently constructing armour stone retaining walls, and shaping the new landscaping for the next stages of construction.

Parking Lot:

Crews progressed well last week, completing large sections of new curb and sidewalk. The new storm pipe infrastructure is nearing completion, enabling work to progress onto the next stage of asphalt removal.

Reflection Space:

The crew is completing the installation of three new soil cells which will help support root growth for the new trees. Work will continue on installing the remainder of the new drainage system this week.

A temporary accessible access ramp has been installed at the Aurora Seniors' Centre to help maintain access during construction.

Please note that this area is for accessible pick-up and drop-off only. No parking is permitted.
