Bragg Creek Centre
We at the Bragg Creek Community Association celebrate community! We have SO many fun activities lined up the summer. Such as:
Sole Girls Summer Camp, An empowerment camp for tween girls aged 8 -12: July 8th -12th , 9am – 3pm. Topics like body image, being unique, media, health and making our own choices can be hard for tweens – especially when fitting in and being cool is so important to them! Day Camps combine physical activity and mentorship to build confidence. Girls will learn tools to overcome bullying and mean girls, and how to be an empowered friend. Our Day Camps encourage girls to discover what they love about themselves and celebrate it. Be active, come meet new friends, release your inner awesome and have fun at camp with us this summer.

The Bragg Creek Community Centre is taking steps to be an environmentally sustainable facility. Some practices we have already put in place include:
Energy Conservation
- Last year we changed all outdoor lighting to energy efficient LED bulbs
- Keep unnecessary facility lights off during daylight hours
- Unplug appliances when not in use
- Cleaning products are eco-friendly and biodegradable
- No longer using single use cups or straws
- No longer sell bottled water at concession
- Have recycling receptacles throughout facility
In keeping with this effort, this year’s Bragg Creek Days will be a Green Event
- Range Recycling will be onsite to assist with making sure recyclables are placed in the proper receptacles
- Please bring your reusable water bottles as we will have a water filling station available
- Any disposables will be compostable
Rumble & Roar, Pickleball, Lego Club, Movie Night are finished for the season. Regular programming will start up again in the Fall and we are working on some new exciting ideas.
We would also like to congratulate and say thank you so much to Peter Vanthiel and Acrobatic Studio for their contribution to our facility for the past few years. Peter is moving his studio to Springbank where we wish him continued success. Having attended the last three years of performances the skill and poise the kids demonstrate is truly a privilege to watch.
My favourite moment this past month was the facilitator of the Opiod awareness workshop exclaim with pure joy and in mid sentence – “look a deer! Oh, two of them!” Such a wonderful reminder of our extended four legged community and the novelty they are to some. Please remember to watch our speed as we drive about the Hamlet this busy summer.
Sincerely,
Sherri Olsen
BCCA Board Director
