Transition of Operations – Armoury and ATS Cafe

Today, we mark the conclusion of a highly successful five-year lease agreement between the Town of Aurora and Niagara College.

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. 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.

The redevelopment of the Armoury and the addition of the Café space have transformed these venues into vibrant hubs of activity, fostering community connections and contributing positively to Aurora’s economic and social fabric.

This is an exciting time for our community. We have the opportunity to explore new partnerships that will build on the financial success and strong foundation established through our partnership with Niagara College ensuring these valuable spaces continue to reflect Aurora’s spirit of innovation, collaboration and community pride.

We look forward to sharing updates soon and welcoming the community to help share their continued success.

  1. As a small group of Senior men we have enjoyed a biweekly coffee, pastry and chat in the Cafe and it will be missed.

    I realize it is not highly utilized but it is a very good facility and location that could be set-up better to encourage a viable business.

    Hopefully you will find an appropriate partner to continue on.
