There is something quite special about the month of February. The short days make up an extra short month, and yet there always seems to be time to enjoy an evening meal, meet a friend for coffee, and maybe even start that project that has been on the back burner since the fall. Perhaps the month brings into focus the little things that are meaningful to us and we tend to take the time to enjoy.
Something very meaningful to this community is getting out and enjoying what we all so dearly love, the great outdoors that is in our very own backyard. Seeing the smiles, hearing the hellos and sharing in a laugh with new friends makes the BCCA so pleased to have once again hosted the Winter in the Woods event last month. Thanks to the volunteers, the vendors and the BCCA staff, the entire community can take part in an outdoor family fun event that builds friends and supports neighbours. Special thanks go to the BCCA Rink Committee headed by Brian Robertson. He spearheads this event and we thank him for his dedication. Be sure to check out the BCCA Facebook Page to see all the fun pics.
Our community centre is a versatile venue able to host events large and small. We have bookings for all sorts of groups that need a space to get together for social, work or sporting events. Weddings can be professionally hosted as can private rink rentals. Keep us in mind this year if you have need or hear of someone who does.
You may be aware of the winter programming that happens at the Centre, like Rumble & Roar (playtime for parents & tots on Thursdays), or adult indoor rugby on Friday nights, but, if you are not, maybe a membership at the BCCA would help you plug into all the great things going on. Your membership will provide you a monthly email giving you all the inside info. Don’t miss out! Purchase online anytime via the website or stop by the Centre in person. For a nominal $25/year (or less depending upon the package you buy) you too will be in the know.
Since February is so short, we would be remiss not to leave you with a few notes about the coming months just around the corner:
Save the Date! Taste of Bragg Creek is scheduled to make its grand comeback on Friday, April 21 after many years of Covid restrictions. Watch for your membership email for more details and keep an eye on local Bragg Creek social accounts for updates.
Watch for an exciting Parkworks playground resurfacing project this spring. We may require a few helping hands and some shovels!
In the meantime, there is the Shadow Puppet Stories on Feb 4th, Valentine’s Day on Feb 14th, and the best of all, it is Family Day on Feb 20th.
Keep in touch and keep warm.
BCCA
