Victoria Hall Clock Tower Restoration Project
Cobourg, ON (July 28, 2026) – The Town of Cobourg's Corporate Services Division advises the community that restoration work on the Victoria Hall Clock Tower will begin the first week of August and continue until mid-October.
During this time, scaffolding will surround the tower while crews restore the exterior woodwork and paint. The support cradle for the historic tower bell is also being replaced due to its condition. As a result, the Victoria Hall bell and clock mechanisms will be out of service during this time.
This type of restoration, including painting and general maintenance, is required every 10 to 15 years to preserve the tower. The Town thanks residents and visitors for their patience as this work continues on one of Cobourg's most iconic landmarks. This project is being funded by the Town’s 2026 Capital Budget. The Victoria Hall Maintenance Trust group is helping to fund the repairs to the bell cradle.
Questions can be directed to the Town's Customer Service team at customerservice@cobourg.ca or 905-372-4301.
