A public meeting on the Whitchurch-Stouffville Public Library and leisure centre expansion takes place Oct. 14, 7 to 9 p.m., in council chambers.

The previous edition of town council spent much of their last year in office, 2013-14, putting a plan in place for the expansion of the Stouffville Memorial Park building, which included a two-storey library, second indoor pool and dedicated area for the 55+ Club for seniors.

The cost was pegged at $28 million.

In July, the new council approved a revised plan that did not include a second indoor pool or area dedicated to the seniors.

The budget was also slashed to $12,825,000.

The current plan includes increased library space, new fitness area, as well as an indoor playground and child minding/preschool program room.

Latcham Gallery is also expected to move from Main Street to the leisure centre/library building.

That vacated space on Main Street will be taken over by the 55+ Club. They will also occupy the newly renovated multipurpose room, 6240 Main Street, in the same building.

The town hall/council chambers are located at 111 Sandiford Dr.
