The Oshawa Centre closure temporarily shut the shopping mall and two Durham Region health clinics on Monday, September 28, after a water-related problem.
Durham Radio News reported shortly after noon that the Oshawa Centre had closed while crews worked on the issue. Mall officials apologized for the disruption and asked customers to watch the centre’s social channels for reopening information.
No reopening time had been announced when this report was published. Anyone planning to visit should confirm the latest status before travelling to the mall.
Health clinics affected by watermain break
Durham Region separately announced that its breastfeeding and sexual health clinics at the Oshawa Centre were closed because of a watermain break. The official notice was issued Monday afternoon while the broader shopping centre closure remained in effect.
The two notices concern the same location and disruption. The mall described the cause as a water-related issue, while the Region’s public notice specifically referred to a watermain break affecting its clinics.
Patients with an appointment at either clinic should verify service availability with Durham Region before going to the site. The Region maintains current sexual health clinic information on its website, while the Oshawa Centre lists its general hours and contact information online.
Closure announced during regular Monday hours
The unexpected closure affected access to stores, services and the two public-health clinics inside the property. Officials did not publish an estimate for how long repairs would take.
The Oshawa Centre closure should therefore be treated as temporary and subject to change as crews assess and resolve the water issue.
