December 2025 Update: EECC and Downtown Library Options

In November 2025, the East Elgin Community Complex received a memo outlining progress on a Class “D” cost estimate for potential leasehold improvements to accommodate the Elgin County Library. Following coordination between the municipal CAOs, Spriet and Associates was engaged on a single-source basis to prepare the estimate, with an upset limit of $10,000 plus HST. The EECC Board approved proceed with Spriet and Associate, and the Town of Aylmer subsequently approved the EECC expense.

In regard to the Downtown proposal, Elgin County did not provide a response to the Town’s October 2025 correspondence related to the project. Aylmer has launched a fundraising campaign for the project.

Looking ahead, reports on both the EECC option and the downtown library redevelopment option are anticipated to be brought forward in the first quarter of 2026. Further updates will be shared on this page as additional information becomes available and reports are considered.
