The long awaited recreation centre in Calgary's new urban district of Seton is close to breaking ground. Recently approved by the city, this 330,000 square foot facility is slated to open its doors in 2018 - a long way off, but this will be more than just a rec centre. A true community gathering place, the Recreation Centre will be run by YMCA Calgary and will combine fitness with youth and neighborhood programs, and include a new library. This is an ambitious undertaking that will benefit thousands of South Calgary residents.
