BRAGG CREEK COMMUNITY ASSOCIATION
This past year has been one of change, new connections, collaboration, and growth. As the BCCA welcomes the New Year, we would like to take a moment to reflect and express gratitude.
Our events and initiatives this year would not have been possible without the tireless efforts of our fabulous volunteers, dedicated staff, and the generous support of our local business partners.
To the volunteers who donated their time, energy, and talents – thank you for being the heart of our community.
To the staff at the Community Centre, thank you for pouring your expertise and skills into your work.
To the businesses and organizations who partnered with us, your contributions have provided the resources and encouragement needed to bring ideas to life. Thank you for working alongside us.
Spirit of Christmas Festival – Held Nov 29 to Dec 1
To all the community members who were involved in our annual event, THANK YOU!
To the local businesses whose staff went above and beyond to create events for the kids, to all the local sponsors who gave their financial support to pay for the festivities, and of course, to all the individuals who chose to give their time volunteering as wrappers and shoppers, and wagon-ride stoppers to name a few!
It takes a Hamlet to pull off something so fun and engaging!!
And THANK YOU to Shaye. You brought the Spirit that we were all seeking.
Skating Party on New Year’s Day!
Bring your skates and your smiles to the Rink (named “One of a Kind” at last year’s Chuck-a-Puck) from 11am to 2pm. Kathleen Burk is sponsoring this party for the Community, complete with entertainment, coffee and hot chocolate. Thank you Kathleen!
Winter In the Woods is almost here!
“Winter in the Woods” celebrates all things winter. Join us on Saturday, February 1st for a family event that will up your spunk and remind you why you live and play here. Check the website for all the info and be sure to purchase your puck for the famous “Chuck a Puck” event. All proceeds support our beloved rink! Volunteers, we need you! Please watch braggcreekca.com for shifts and “SignUp”!
For regular programming notes, we are ramping back up first thing in January:
- Pickleball – resumes on Thursday, Jan 2nd
- Artzy Afternoons – resumes on Thursday, Jan 2nd
- Rumble & Roar – resumes on Thursday, Jan 9th
Looking back before stepping forward helps ground us in preparation for the flow of new ideas and can be a source of energy and inspiration. With the New Year of 2025 greeting us, we are reminded of the timeless Scottish song, “Auld Lang Syne”. Its lyrics, often sung at New Year’s gatherings, encourage us to honour old friendships, cherish shared memories, and look forward with hope. The phrase “auld lang syne” translates to “old long since” or “for old times’ sake”, a fitting reminder of the importance of community and connection in all that we do.
Here’s to another year of community spirit, shared successes, and making memories together.
Warm wishes from
Your Bragg Creek Community Association
