Lacombe has outgrown the 50-year-old Lacombe Memorial Centre (LMC), which has long surpassed its initial life expectancy.

Many cultural, social, community and business events are held each year attracting on average 30,000 users to the LMC.

Over the last two years Lacombe has experienced 6% population growth, and it is anticipated to maintain an average growth rate of 5% over the next several years.

The community facility represents a core service and delivers on the Town's vision for future growth and development of the local economy.

The plan is to build a new Regional Centennial Centre that will serve the Town of Lacombe and the surrounding rural communities in Lacombe County; encompassing a total population of approximately 16,000 residents.

The new facility will be three times larger than the existing Memorial Centre, and will feature a variety of meeting room options in addition to a main hall.

A key component of the new Lacombe Regional Centennial Centre will include the Lacombe Public Library.

The Library alone will be twice as large as the current library, ensuring that it can accommodate the the recommended number of books and collections for a community of our size, both today and well into the future.

The offices for Family & Community Support Services will be located above the library on the second floor of the facility.
