Winnipeg, MB – The St. James Civic Centre is expanding to better meet community recreation needs, and the City of Winnipeg is inviting residents are now invited to an information session to view the final design, learn how public feedback helped shape the design, and to learn more about next steps.
The expanded St. James Civic Centre will include:
- new multi-purpose and meeting rooms

- a new kitchen
- expanded viewing area for the swimming pool
- administrative space and shared program space for the St. James Assiniboia 55+ Centre

It’s expected that the construction will begin this winter, and anticipated to be completed in fall 2026. Construction will be staged in phases, and there will be impacts to programs and services to accommodate the work.
Residents can view the final design on the project webpage, or by attending an information session at the St. James Civic Center, 2055 Ness Ave., on May 16, 2024 from 4 p.m. to 7 p.m.
