More Governance Transition for the Central Nova Scotia Civic Centre Society
- Details
- Category: Media Releases
- Published: Wednesday, 29 October 2025 14:00
The Municipality of Colchester has given notice to the Town of Truro and management of the Central Nova Scotia Civic Centre Society to end the existing Operating Agreement for the Rath Eastlink Community Centre (RECC). This decision will result in governance structure changes to improve future operations and building conditions at the RECC and is not expected to impact immediate day-to-day service at the facility.
It is Colchester Council’s view that the management of the RECC has been compromised since contracts to lease and manage the Nova Scotia Provincial Exhibition property (NSPE) were signed by Society management without municipal approval in 2024. It’s believed that the initiative to manage two large complexes has not served the RECC well, resulting in a divided mandate and diluted efforts.
A new governance structure is anticipated to help speed up the resolution of the unauthorized contracts and refocus much-needed energy and attention on the RECC facility, enabling it to better serve community needs as intended.
This decision is not a reflection of support for a viable NSPE. The Municipality is and will always be a proud supporter of efforts to make the NSPE grounds viable and will be working collaboratively with the Province to support signature events like the Provincial Exhibition and the Nova Scotia Stampede moving forward.
The Municipality emphasizes that this decision is also in no way a reflection of the efforts of the Society’s Board. The Municipality greatly values their contributions and sincerely appreciates their time and commitment.
The Municipality extends its appreciation to the Board members of the Society and looks forward to working through this transition period to advance the interests of the RECC and the community.
