This is a unifying project that highlights collective strength and promotes the development and growth of an entire community. Beginning in 2020, the UNIplex will reflect the pride of Dieppe residents and will be a strong symbol of our role as a community partner,” said UNI Chief Executive Officer, Robert Moreau.
“The UNIplex will make it possible to offer activities focused on health, wellness and fitness to families in our region and to meet the needs expressed by our community. We are very proud to join forces with UNI Financial Cooperation to make our municipality’s biggest project a reality,” said Mayor Yvon Lapierre.
The project will be funded by the provincial government ($7,25 million), the federal government ($9,58 million), the municipality ($10,57 million) and the community ($4,25 million). Construction of the complex began in January and should end in the fall of 2020.
