Bragg Creek Centre
Greetings Community!
Some of my most interesting conversations this past month have involved discussing Community. As someone told me – we agree, we disagree, but what matters is respect. With respect and open mindedness our exchanges can evoke an internal call to action to be involved in creating a Community you personally help to create and be proud of.
Did you know we have a volunteer sign up page on Facebook? It is called Bragg Creek Volunteers page. Or, please call our office at 403.949.4277 as we create a database of folks interested in contributing towards Community.
Here are a few of our regular events:
Something for everyone – Pickle ball, Acrobatics, Movie Night, Artsy Afternoons, and more!

This year we are going back to our roots and focusing on community. Over 50 years ago Bragg Creek Days started as a community BBQ and we are looking to recapture that small town feeling.
We invite you to come together with your neighbours and celebrate Bragg Creek Days 2019!
Please remember to register for the 52nd Annual Bragg Creek Chamber of Commerce Bragg Creek Days Parade.
We welcome floats, antique vehicles, marchers, riders or whatever. Free to participate. We are also pleased to announce this year’s Parade Marshall is Donna “Rhonda” Godlonton. Donna is a longtime resident and active community member who also happened to play Rhonda on the Jann Arden show. The parade starts at 10:30 sharp.
Contact braggcreekdays@gmail.com to register as a market vendor or to enter the parade.
