The City of Pembroke, Ontario, and the Township of Laurentian Valley are asking residents to weigh in on plans for a proposed regional sportsplex. As of March 12, 2026, Mayor Ron Gervais and Mayor Steve Bennett are leading the call for community feedback to help shape the early stages of this joint project.
People living in both areas can share their thoughts through the Engage Pembroke online platform. The site currently features surveys designed to gather specific ideas and preferences regarding what the new facility should look like and what services it should offer.
Both Mayor Ron Gervais and Mayor Steve Bennett are encouraging local families and individuals to participate in the planning process. The mayors believe that community input is a vital step in making sure the sportsplex meets the needs of everyone in the region.
This project is the latest example of the two municipalities working together on shared services. In the past, the City of Pembroke and the Township of Laurentian Valley have collaborated on recreation committees and shared waste management programs through regional centres.
The feedback gathered during this consultation period will help officials decide on the scope and focus of the facility. By pooling resources, the municipalities aim to create a larger regional space that serves residents from both communities.
