A new era of healthy cooking and nutritious education began today at the Albion-Heatherington Recreation Centre where Mayor Jim Watson, Gloucester-Southgate Councillor Diane Deans and David McGuinty, Member of Parliament for Ottawa South, celebrated the completion of a new community kitchen.
The formal event was followed by a community party and cooking competition. The kitchen will be available for public rentals and recreation programming beginning January 1.
Nestled in the northwest corner of the existing community centre, the new kitchen is 94 square metres of space that can be used for a variety of activities. There is room for a dozen cooks at one time and includes:
The addition is efficient in design making use of dimmable LED lighting and plenty of natural light entering from windows facing south and west.
Construction of the kitchen was made possible in part through funding by the Government of Canada 150 Community Infrastructure Program, delivered by the Federal Economic Development Agency for Southern Ontario.
In addition to the kitchen project, a handful of other rooms at the recreation centre were renovated to make them more accessible and functional, and a 93-square-metre multi-purpose room was added.
Quotes
“The new community kitchen at the Albion-Heatherington Community Centre is an exciting Canada 150 legacy project that will benefit members of the community of all ages, and for many generations to come. The City of Ottawa, members of Council and the Government of Canada have demonstrated once again that we can achieve great things and have a positive impact in our communities when we work together.”
Mayor Jim Watson, City of Ottawa
“A community kitchen provides neighbours with more opportunities to come together, get to know each other and make their community stronger. This community kitchen is an ideal place to host classes in nutrition and healthy eating, which will help make our community healthier from the inside out.”
Councillor Diane Deans, Chair of the City’s Community and Protective Services Committee
“Through investments in our communities, we are demonstrating our commitment to create and support sustainable growth, economic opportunity, and prosperity in Canada. By improving community infrastructure such as the Albion-Heatherington Recreation Centre, the Government of Canada is helping to maintain a high quality of life for residents of all ages.”
David McGuinty, Member of Parliament, Ottawa South

Nestled in the northwest corner of the existing community centre, the new kitchen is 94 square metres of space that can be used for a variety of activities. There is room for a dozen cooks at one time and includes:
- three educational kitchen stations
- one accessible workspace that doubles as a demonstration area
- Seven moveable cooking stations that can each accommodate two cooks at the same time.
The addition is efficient in design making use of dimmable LED lighting and plenty of natural light entering from windows facing south and west.
