About The Project
The artwork will be located in the Outdoor Seating Garden of the forthcoming Century Gardens Youth Hub, enhancing the space as a welcoming area for gathering, connection, teachings, and community programming. Opening in 2026, the 12,500-square-foot Youth Hub will serve as a one-stop, youth-centered space offering programs and services that foster personal growth, creativity, and inclusion. Designed through an equity, diversity, and inclusion lens, the Hub will include areas for games, e-sports, creative activities, meetings, and service delivery. Outdoor features will include an amphitheatre, community gardens, a basketball court, and the Atiba Hutchinson soccer court. The facility will meet LEED GOLD and NetZero standards, continuing the City of Brampton’s commitment to sustainable, youth-driven spaces.
