In its own words
Vivo's $62 million expansion project was completed during the fiscal year. The expansion project was focused on the key pillars of sustainability inclusivity and accessibility - creating a community hub that supports the well-being for all - and the healthier generations. Vivo centre operations - the 2024 fiscal year saw the return of all programs and services once the expansion project was completed. A number of new staff members were added during the year as we increased program offerings and increased membership levels.
