As Niagara College’s five-year partnership with the Town of Aurora comes to a close, Niagara College will complete its operations of the event space at the end of January, while continuing to run the Armoury Café at Aurora Town Square until June, 2025.

All event bookings at The Armoury will continue to be honoured throughout the transition, and customers will be contacted directly regarding their reservations.

“Since signing their lease with the Town in 2019, as the first tenant of our world class multi-purpose event space, Niagara College has been a valued partner, bringing their expertise and dedication to operating The Armoury and more recently to The Armoury Café,” said Mayor Tom Mrakas. “Together, we created dynamic spaces that offered residents and visitors exceptional dining experiences while showcasing innovative culinary education. We wish Niagara College further success as they pursue their new strategic priorities.”

“This five-year partnership has been a great opportunity for Niagara College, and we’re grateful for the platform it has provided to showcase our expertise in culinary, beverage and hospitality,” said Marc Nantel, Niagara College’s Vice President of Research, Innovation and Strategic Enterprises. “We thank the Town and everyone who has supported this endeavor, from the Aurora community and beyond.”

The Town is actively reviewing future plans for these facilities and remains committed to providing spaces that meet the needs of the community. Additional updates will be shared as plans progress.
