This renovation was made possible by the Ontario Trillium Foundation
In 1969 a dedicated group of volunteers built the existing change rooms to
provide a more professional “feel” to the German Canadian FC facility.
These change rooms have had many teams pass through their doors and to this
day are still considered the template for all other facilities. After over
40 years of use the time came to upgrade the change rooms and in collaboration
with the German Canadian Club a generous grant was received from the Ontario
Trillium Foundation. With this grant the GCFC is was able to substantially
upgrade the existing irrigation system and the remainder of the money is being
used to upgrade the change rooms.
Before construction could begin the GCFC and other dedicated volunteers spent
many hours demolishing the existing interior of the change rooms. The ceiling
was torn down, the existing concrete floor in the home and away change rooms
was removed. Repairs were made to the existing block work and the entire
wiring in the attic was refurbished. With all the demolition completed the
contractor, Drexler's Design and Build, began work in mid January. The
project completion is slated for April 20, 2011.
