Cavan Monaghan Opens new Millbrook Depot

Council and Staff for the Township of Cavan Monaghan celebrated the official opening of the Parks and Public Works Millbrook Depot on Tuesday, October 4, 2022.

The Depot is the first of three capital building projects taking place in the Township over the next year.  A new Cavan Public Works Operation Centre is scheduled for completion in early 2023 and the new Fire Hall and Ambulance Station will follow in the Fall of 2023.  The total cost of all three capital projects combined is estimated at $11.8 million.

The existing Depot has housed both Public Works and Parks & Recreation equipment for many years and needed many repairs. Building re-construction included the demolition of the existing building, site servicing to the building with sanitary sewer and water services, new wood frame building structure, steel cladding, new roofing, electrical, plumbing, and HVAC.  The building itself includes four bays and a new lunch room/bathroom and wash-up area. 

The detailed design of all three buildings was completed by Greenview Environmental Management.  Construction of the Depot was done by Mortlock Construction Ltd. 

“As our community continues to grow we must have the appropriate equipment and infrastructure available to service the growing needs of our community,” says Cavan Monaghan Mayor Scott McFadden.  “These facilities were approaching end-of-life and upgrades were necessary to respond to our residents in a timely and efficient manner.”
