BRAGG CREEK COMMUNITY ASSOCIATION
It doesn’t have to be cold outside to feel the need for warmth and happiness. Everyone needs a spark once in a while to help them shine from the inside out. The beauty of community is that sometimes you are the one shining the light for someone, but other times, you are the one leaning into others for their brightness to fall upon you.
A team of elves have been working with the BCCA, busy planning heart warming and memorable Christmas Festivities. Please come out and share in the Spirit of Christmas!
Each day offers different activities and they are all FREE! Check website for the maps and times (www.braggcreekca.com).
- Christmas Vendor Market Nov 29, 30 and Dec 1. Shop and visit with over 50+ vendors with hand crafted products and yummy treats for everyone on your Christmas list.
- Friday 5 to 9pm, Sat and Sun 10am to 5pm
- Spirit of Christmas Event Nov 30 and Dec 1 will include activities around the entire Hamlet creating our very own Christmas Town. Fill your day with Horse Drawn Wagon Rides, Visits with Santa, Christmas crafts, stories and, of course, cookies. There will be the Kids Only Shopping Store, pony rides, pulling taffy and, well really there is so much going on that you will need a map! See the winter princesses and explore your town the old fashioned way.
- Sat and Sun 11am to 4pm
- This very special weekend is always dependent on our wonderful community volunteers, and we cannot thank you enough. Please check our website and “SignUp” for a multitude of fun volunteer opportunities…spend time with neighbours and friends. We need you!
Looking forwards, we are excited to bring you Winter in the Woods on February 1st. You won’t want to miss this celebration of all things winter, with a specific focus on fundraising for our beloved outdoor rink. You can expect on-ice and off-ice events for the whole family and we will be partnering again with Hockey for Horizon. SAVE THE DATE!
Our Rink Committee is excited to see us all out skating as soon as the weather and conditions permit. Check the daily schedule posted at the rink for both open skating and ice hockey times.

A reminder that The Bragg Creek Community Church offers support in many ways including food bank access. If you need to reach out, do not hesitate to contact the Church, us or anyone you feel comfortable with. Bragg Creek is a supportive community and we want to ensure the warmth of the season is felt by all.
When that midnight blue of the night surrounds us and you can feel the air’s crispness in your lungs, shake off the cold and instead see the sparkle of the snow and the twinkle of the coloured lights. Feel the warmth of your neighbour’s smile and pass it along.
Wishing you a very Merry Christmas. Peace and Joy for all.
Your Bragg Creek Community Association
