The City of Port Colborne has launched a survey to gather input from residents regarding expanding the number of licensed childcare spaces in the community. The City is looking for feedback on the availability of childcare spaces, and the possible use of the former Visitors Centre (former Humberstone City Hall building) at Main Street and Mellanby Avenue as the new location for expanded childcare spaces.
The childcare survey is now closed.
The Visitors Centre would require renovations to bring an additional 3,500 to 3,900 square feet in additional space to the existing building footprint. The project would include a single-storey addition to the back (south) side of the existing building, to facilitate 49 childcare spaces. Proceeding with the design phase of the project would include working closely with a heritage planner and continued consultation with the City’s Heritage Committee.
The survey will gather feedback on the public’s opinion on the use of the Visitors Centre and whether renovations to the heritage site are preferred.
