Aylmer Council to Review Library Concept Designs and EECC Board Request

October 15, 2025 — Aylmer Council will consider two related items on the future of the Aylmer Branch of the Elgin County Library.

Council will receive a staff report presenting conceptual designs and Class “D” cost estimates for potential redevelopment of the library at or near its current downtown site. The concepts explore a range of building sizes and layouts to guide future decisions about design and funding.

Council will also review the East Elgin Community Complex (EECC) Board’s October 8 request for endorsement of a $10,000 scoping phase to explore a library relocation to the EECC. Under the EECC Terms of Reference, both Aylmer and Malahide Councils must endorse the Board’s action before staff can proceed with that work.

Residents can review the materials and meeting agenda through the Aylmer CivicWeb Portal or watch the meeting on the Town of Aylmer Youtube channel. Written comments or request to delegate may also be submitted to the Clerk prior to the meeting.

Next steps: Council’s discussion will help define Aylmer’s preferred direction for a modern library facility and its position on the EECC proposal.
