KAWARTHA LAKES-Coronation Hall, home of the Omemee Municipal Service Centre, will be undergoing significant repairs to the building envelope over the next few months. The repairs will restore and preserve the heritage features of this historically significant building.
Project Scope:
- Repairing and restoring masonry in various locations
- Conserving stucco band and heritage signage
- Conserving and repairing window surrounds and brick work
- New canopies and repairing wood brackets
- Repairing and conserving wood cornices
- Repairing or replacing gutters and downspouts
- Removing rust and repainting metal stairs
The project is expected to start this month and end in November, 2025.
Coronation Hall will remain open during construction for permitted facility rentals and Municipal Service Centre operations. However, the rear parking lot will be closed to the public for the duration of the project. As work progresses at the main entrance, the east side entrance may be used temporarily. Temporary signage will be in place to direct visitors when an alternate entrance is in use.
Officials say this project will preserve the long-term integrity of Coronation Hall through essential masonry repairs and restoration of the building envelope. These improvements will help protect the structure from weather-related damage, improve energy efficiency and maintain safety and functionality of the facility. As a designated Heritage building this work ensures Coronation Hall continues to serve the community while preserving its historical character for future generations.
