It’s scheduled to open on Tuesday and is replacing the one at Wellington-Dufferin-Guelph Public Health’s main office on Chancellor’s Way.

“Thanks to the cooperation of local sports leagues and teams, the city was able to accommodate most rink users in other locations through the end of the season,” the city said in an email.

While the size and capacity of the clinic were not revealed, the community centre at 21 Imperial Rd. S features a twin-pad arena, a gymnasium and meeting rooms.
