Bragg Creek Centre
Hello Creekers,
Did you know that the Bragg Creek Community Association will be 62 this year? That is almost half the age of Bragg Creek itself! Since 1958 the BCCA has been the core of this community. In 1968 we became a charitable organization and the original Community Hall was constructed. Sadly, 30 years later the Community Hall was destroyed by fire. September 2000 saw the grand opening of the Community Centre as you know it today and for 16 years this new Centre provided year round events, programs and services to the residents of the Greater Bragg Creek area. Then in January 2016 the Centre was tragically struck again when the fire suppression system suffered a break in the sprinkler lines causing the auditorium to flood. Due to extensive damage and upgrades required, the Centre was forced to close for 10 months. Rocky View County generously funded $75,000 toward the repairs but the BCCA was left with costs that totalled approximately $200,000 – draining both our operational funds and reserves. With commitment and perseverance by board members, staff, and community volunteers we have been tirelessly working to regain momentum to get our beautiful Community Centre out of the red and into the black!
