Queen Elizabeth Park Community and Cultural Centre (QEPCCC) is a unique multi-purpose recreation, arts and culture facility.

QEPCCC offers many drop-in and registered recreational, cultural and aquatic programs and is home to a youth centre, seniors centre and the Oakville Arts Council. QEPCCC provides much needed space for the town's many cultural groups and arts guilds. CJ’S Café is also on site for refreshments and catering needs.

QEPCCC boasts a variety of activities including fitness classes and programs, recreational swimming, and there are so many great camps being offered at QEPCCC this summer, that we have added a busing option to get you there. Visit the Camps page for more information.

Background

In April 2009 Council approved the renovation of the former Queen Elizabeth Park high school into a community centre that would meet recreation needs as well as the space needs of Oakville’s many not-for-profit arts and culture groups.

In a 2009 staff report (pdf, 100 kB), staff provided some operating scenarios as well as a preliminary operating budget and reported that a more detailed operating plan was necessary in order to develop the best operating model. The facilities size and scope, the mix of recreation and culture amenities and the fact that that town did not have any experience operating this type of facility coupled with the diverse needs and financial capacity of the groups presented challenges that required review and analysis. In August 2011 the Operating Model (pdf, 637 kB) and accompanying staff report (pdf, 174 kB) was presented to council.
