The Strathcona Regional District has hired MAKE Projects to assist with the design and construction of their replacement aquatic centre. The plan is to renew the facility and address aging components, and to deliver recreation services that will serve the community in a sustainable, safe and inclusive environment.

Key components of Strathcona Gardens were constructed in the 1970s.  Strathcona Gardens Recreation Complex is more than just a building. It is a well-used recreational hub that contributes to the health and well being of residents within the City of Campbell River, and surrounding areas. It provides countless personal, social, and economic benefits to the public and is an integral part of building strong communities.
