people spending in local shops and restaurants,” Taylor says. Increased visitation, stronger local sport capacity, and year-round programming growth position the facility as a long-term economic contributor. One final aspect of the expansion stands out as a point of pride. “Included in this facility, the City built a new home dressing room space for the Preston Rivulettes, a PWHL hockey team,” Taylor says. The new amenities support a storied team with deep roots in Canadian sport history. The Rivulettes, inducted into Canada’s Sports Hall of Fame in 2022, now have a dedicated space reflecting their legacy and presence in the community. The Preston Memorial Auditorium Upgrades project blends heritage, modern design, community voice, and economic foresight. For Cambridge, it demonstrates how municipalities can expand recreation infrastructure while preserving the places that matter most.
