The City is making structural and masonry repairs to Barn 5 at Wychwood Barns Park as part of state-of-good-repair improvements to address poor conditions at the exterior of the building. A consultant will provide guidance to ensure the repairs follow the heritage value of the building. The ongoing work will be coordinated with the community to minimize disruptions to the operations of the Wychwood Barns Farmers’ Market.
The timeline is subject to change. The site undergoes monthly inspections to ensure public safety.
Scaffolding and temporary fencing are installed at either end of the outdoor promenade near Barn 5 as a preventative measure to address concrete weathering and surface spalling. Surface spalling is the flaking, chipping or crumbling of the top layer of concrete, brick and masonry.
