LORETTE—The governments of Canada, Manitoba and the Rural Municipality (RM) of Taché celebrated the official groundbreaking for the new Taché Community Centre project today, Municipal and Northern Relations Minister Ian Bushie announced today, alongside partners from the RM of Taché.

“It’s so exciting to see a growing community such as the RM of Taché getting a state-of-the-art facility that will foster a sense of community and encourage healthy living,” said Bushie. “Our government congratulates the people and leadership of Taché who have been working so hard to make this centre a reality. On behalf of the province, we are proud of the work you have done, and today we proudly celebrate your success.”

RM of Taché Mayor Armand Poirier along with several councillors broke ground on the joint project that will serve as a central hub for the surrounding communities, providing a wide range of recreational services to residents from Lorette, Landmark, Ste. Geneviève, Ross, Linden and beyond.

“The RM of Taché is proud to partner with Manitoba and the Government of Canada on the journey toward building the new Taché Community Centre, a project that is very close to our hearts,” said Poirier. “This centre will be a place where our residents can come together, celebrate and create lasting memories. It is a project that embodies the spirit of community and the value we place on providing spaces that serve the diverse needs of our population.”

Once the construction site is fully prepared, construction will get underway in the weeks ahead with anticipated completion in the summer of 2026, noted Bushie. The new Taché Community Centre will include a new arena and skating rink, community library, seniors’ centre, multipurpose area and canteen.
