The Town of Deseronto is looking to have some recreation/cultural programming available at the Recreation Centre for eight weeks in October and November 2022 and in the new year February and March 2023.
Any and all activities will be considered so if you have skills that would allow people to get together and have fun please contact Rob at the Town Office (613-396-2440).
Let’s get moving and learning together!
The Fitness Centre will be hosting a Free Trial Opening from Tuesday, February 15th until Sunday, March 20th. It will be open Tuesday through to Friday from 6:00 pm to 9:00 pm and on the weekends when the ice is rented.
There will be 3 people permitted in the Fitness Centre at a time and your one-hour time slots must be pre-booked at the Town Hall.
The Deseronto Community Centre will be re-opening at 50% capacity for scheduled ice rentals commencing today, Monday, January 31, 2022.
All patrons over 12 years of age must provide a scannable QRcode and photo ID as proof of vaccination to gain access to the building.
At this time, we would like to poll the public to see what interest there is in re-opening the Fitness Centre. There would be 3 patrons permitted at a time and your hour time slot would have to be booked in advance. The Fitness Centre would be open while there are ice rentals.
Currently, we have ice rentals for Tuesdays through to Friday from 6:00 to 9:00 pm and 3 hours mid-day on Saturday and Sunday. Please call the Town Hall at 613-396-2440 and let staff know if you are interested in returning to the gym during these time slots.
Due to the rising number of COVID infections and in the interest of public safety, the Deseronto Community Centre has been closed until further notice. We will be monitoring the situation and will re-evaluate in the New Year.
We wish everyone a SAFE and happy holiday.

TORONTO — Today, the Ontario government announced that it is getting more people back to work and more recreational activities open by moving forward with a regional approach to Stage 2 of reopening the province.

Additionally, all places of worship in Ontario will also be permitted to open with physical distancing in place and attendance limited to no more than 30 per cent of the building capacity to ensure the safety of worshippers.

Dear Town of Deseronto,
We are very eager to be opening a second site for our practice at our Deseronto
office, effective June 15th, 2020. The situation with COVID-19 has caused many changes
within the community and surrounding areas. While we are very fortunate to be in an
area with great community leaders and frontline workers who continually work to have
flattened the curve, this has not prevented the impact COVID-19 has had with the planning
for our office in Deseronto, causing the unexpected delay of our official opening. We had
initially hoped to open our doors to the community in March, however, at the peak of
COVID-19, this certainly was not possible.
We have been and continue to be available to our patients in the community virtually
and by phone. In person, we are excited to start seeing essential visits in the Deseronto
community starting June 15th. We are excited to be a part of the community, working
alongside our allied health and community team members.
As always, we are so grateful for the ongoing support, patience, and understanding of
our community partners and the people in Deseronto and immediate region.
Sincerely,
Dr. Khey Beldman, Dr. Hart, and Dr. Garcia Popov
