The groundbreaking event for the Eastern Shore Lifestyle Centre, opens a new window—the future home of the new Sheet Harbour Public Library, opens a new window space—took place in July 2025. Guests in attendance included representatives from federal, provincial and municipal governments, members of the Eastern Shore Lifestyle Centre Committee community group, as well as members of the Millbrook First Nation who led the group in a ceremonial smudging.
The sod-turning ceremony took place on the grounds of the existing Fire Station #28, which is the future site of the replacement fire station and Eastern Shore Lifestyle Centre. This small ceremony, followed by a free luncheon hosted by the Sheet Harbour Lions Club, was an opportunity for community members to come together and celebrate the long-term growth and opportunities the facility brings to the area.
With a focus on investment in rural communities through sustainable, inclusive infrastructure, the new Eastern Shore Lifestyle Centre will feature community and recreation amenities, Library access, and emergency services—all housed under one facility.
The project architect is Architecture49 Inc., and the construction contract was awarded to Avondale Construction Limited. Concept Boards for the Sheet Harbour Public Library in the Eastern Shore Lifestyle Centre can be found on our website, here, opens a new window.
The Eastern Shore Lifestyle Centre is scheduled for completion in Fall 2027.
