This particular site was chosen for a number of reasons, first of which is the availability of sufficient space. Also, the school is located in the city centre, making it convenient for residents from all parts of Greater Sudbury to access the facility on foot and by bike, bus or car. The dome will also be a major asset for the Moulin à fleur and Donovan neighbourhoods, providing local youngsters with a safe recreational location. The new all-season sports centre will be a vital recreational asset for residents of these neighbourhoods and improve the quality of their living space.
