The Township of Rideau Lakes will be gathering for a photo to commemorate the groundbreaking of the new Portland Community Hall and Library building on Friday, July 19th at 12:30 p.m. at 24 Water Street, Portland. 

The Township engaged a local architectural firm, Altered Roots, to consult and design a new combined Portland Community Hall and Library building, the same property where the former Portland Community Hall was located. 

An RFP for the construction of the new Community Hall and Library was issued in March 2024 and the successful bidder is Thomas Cavanagh Construction. Construction on the new Community Hall and Library has begun with the foundation now complete. If you’re interested in more information, project details are posted at rideaulakes.ca/portlandhall
