Topic: Construction Notice: Thornhill Community Centre Amenity Closures for Major Energy Maintenance Project
Schedule: June 2, 2025 – June 22, 2025 (the fitness centre, gymnasium and pool will have different closure dates throughout the project).
What is happening?
The Thornhill Community Centre will undergo a major energy retrofit project that will affect some amenities. This project supports Markham’s commitment to reducing energy and Green House Gas Emissions and is aligned with the city’s Municipal Energy Plan target of achieving net zero Green House Gas emissions by 2050. We conduct maintenance at our recreation facilities to enhance the quality and safety of our amenities.
The project will be completed in three phases from June 2 to 22, 2025. We plan to reopen all amenities the week of June 23 and appreciate your understanding during this closure.
Phase 1:
June 2 – Full community centre closure with no access to the building.
Phase 2:
June 3 to 8 – Fitness centre, fitness washrooms/showers, group fitness studio, gymnasium and pool remain closed.

Group fitness classes will still be running and relocated to another area in the building.
