Bragg Creek Centre
Hello Creekers!
Did you know that your Community Centre is over 20 years old? In human years, that’s peak performance. In a building – not so much. We have experienced some problems with our HVAC systems recently and as I type this, there is a lot of snow outside and we worry about the winter that is coming. We know that the Centre doesn’t have the emergency reserves it needs to repair or replace our heating systems after the expensive repairs from the gym flood and the overwhelming revenue losses for the Centre due to COVID-19. Our revenues are down, our fundraising is limited and our expenses are rising due to the age of our building. In short, we need your help.
What can you do?

The Community Centre isn’t funded throughataxationsysteminBragg,sowe rely on our community to purchase a low cost membership to help us together with fundraising, revenue generating programs and grants to keep the Centre operating. A really low investment from you helps us to keep our beautiful community Centre operating. A family membership is just $40 per year. Please help us by purchasing your annual membership today.
