Rothesay Intergenerational Community Complex (RICC)
65 Hampton Road
The Rothesay Intergenerational Community Complex (RICC) is a major community development initiative transforming recreational infrastructure in Rothesay. Currently supported by a $7 million investment from the Government of Canada and a $11.5 million investment from Rothesay, the project includes both the construction of a new arena, the revitalization of the existing 54-year-old Rothesay Arena, and a connection between both buildings to create a true community gathering place. This initiative will enhance recreation, accessibility, and social connection for residents of Rothesay and surrounding communities.
Scope
The project consists of three key components:
- A brand-new arena & walking track to ensure continued access to ice & fitness facilities for future generations.
- A revitalized, multi-use facility in the existing arena with indoor courts, meeting rooms, and accessible amenities including the Rothesay HIVE.
- A connecting structure linking both buildings that will include a community policing office, a public café, and a social gathering space.
We are actively fundraising to bring the Rothesay Intergenerational Community Complex (RICC) to life, with a goal of fully opening to the public by the end of 2028. With $18.5 million secured, the project is approximately 51.38% funded. This modern, sustainable, and inclusive facility will be an equitable and accessible central gathering place.
