The FlightExec Centre's transformation is well underway! Our collective effort aims to elevate Thames Centre by revamping essential spaces within the premises. This project, undertaken in collaboration with MCI Design Build Corporation, is positioned to bring a host of enhancements to the heart of Thames Centre.

Expected to reach completion by August 2024, this initiative is driven by a vision to expand and elevate key areas within the FlightExec Centre:

Senior Centre Expansion

The Senior Centre is set to expand, introducing three multi-purpose rooms and a new kitchen shared with the adjacent auditorium. This expansion aims to accommodate a larger number of seniors, facilitating their participation in various year-round events. The increase in space allocated to VON Middlesex-Elgin will enable the relocation of the therapeutic tub and the expansion of the Adult Day Program area. This move will welcome more clients daily. Additionally, the expansion will introduce new rooms for overnight respite care.

VON Middlesex-Elgin Upgrades

Significantly expanding the rented space for VON enables the relocation of the therapeutic tub. This extension facilities community bathing facilities and amplifies the capacity of the Adult Day Program to accommodate more clients daily. Furthermore, new rooms will be introduced to provide overnight respite services.

Auditorium Enhancement

Enlargement and relocation of the auditorium within the revamped facility, coupled with access to a new shared kitchen with the Senior Centre, ensuring a more versatile and accommodating space for larger events and gatherings.
