Happy New Year Creekers! I am really excited to be writing the Bragg Creek Centre’s article this month, because I really want to share the gratitude I have for this amazing community!
First off, some thanks:
We had a super busy holiday season, and I want to start with a HUGE thank you to the Centre’s staff for organizing and running the Christmas in the Creek Artisan & Gift Market, a Santa Paint Night, and the Spirit of Christmas – all within 3 weeks!! Kim, Lily, Amanda, Lynn, and Adrian: thank you for your dedication and hard work. I am so grateful to work alongside this fantastic team!
Next, thank you to every community member who stepped up to volunteer or be a vendor at these events! I am so appreciative that you chose to share your time and talents with the community – we couldn’t do it without you!
And another thing! Have ya’ll seen that shiny, pristine outdoor rink!?! Thank you to the dedicated Rink Committee volunteers for your passion and skills; the ice was in by the first week in December – that never happens! We cannot wait to celebrate all your accomplishments and raise some funds at Winter in the Woods!
And finally, thank you to our community! Everyone who came out to enjoy an event during the holiday season, the businesses who sponsored and supported the Spirit of Christmas, and everyone who chose to connect with the community in 2022. The longer I live and volunteer in Bragg Creek, the more joy I find in the connections made with neighbours; this community is so much more than just a physical home.
Winter In The Woods
