• Supporting Current Needs - Campus Renewal

  CAMPUS RENEWAL 

  Investing in our cherished facilities

   

  Each year, the School invests significant dollars in the improvement, maintenance and upkeep of our facilities. Your support will help the School ensure our facilities are the best and provide exceptional experiences for all students.

   

  Over the last several years, SJR has performed significant structural work and maintenance in our main athletic facility, Tom Bredin Athletic Centre, as follows:

   

  Dutton Memorial Arena: A new ice plant was installed; the rink was transformed into an NHL-sized rink and a brand-new entrance on the river side with elevator access to all floors was built. These renovations enabled us to further enhance our athletic offering. After hockey season, the rink is converted to a field house, making these facilities inclusive and available to all.

   

  Reimer Gymnasium: New changerooms were added, a brand-new floor was installed, and modern seating replaced the 35-year-old bleachers.
