CORNWALL, ONT. – Construction has officially kicked off for the Ontario SPCA and Humane Society’s new 8,000-square-foot Cornwall and Region Animal Centre and Veterinary Clinic.
Designed by Ottawa-based DEIMLING Architecture & Interior Design and constructed by Grant Marion Construction of Cornwall, the $8 million facility at 2151 Second St. W. in Cornwall will replace the aging Ontario SPCA animal centre on Boundary Road.
Slated for completion in 2027, the new centre and clinic will boost both animal intakes and adoptions by about 30 per cent and will have the space to care for as many as 57 animals at a time – more than double the 24 spaces at the current centre.
The building will also contain an in-house, charity-based veterinary clinic operated by the Ontario SPCA. It will provide high-volume spay/neuter procedures and basic veterinary services, helping families access care for their pets that they might not otherwise have received, explains a release.
The 1,400-square-foot veterinary clinic will have a medical treatment suite for vaccinations and basic care and a surgical suite.
To date, the Ontario SPCA has secured $4 million through philanthropy for this project.
