The Wilmot Recreation Complex will be getting some upgrades thanks to funding from the provincial government.

On Monday, the Ontario Ministry of Sport announced $379,650 for the complex after making a larger funding announcement in Kitchener earlier that day.

Wilmot will be using the money for a refrigeration plant retrofit project, which they said will allow them to make operations at the complex more energy-efficient. They called the work ‘critical upgrades’ in a release on Monday.

“This investment helps ensure the Wilmot Recreation Complex remains a cornerstone of active living in our community,” Mayor Natasha Salonen said.
