BRAGG CREEK COMMUNITY ASSOCIATION
You never know what’s around the corner. March shows up and it could be winter for at least another month, or it could all melt away and we enjoy an early spring. Thankfully life is a like that, bringing us challenges along with hope, all at the same time.
Let’s start with a look back – On Feb 1st, The BCCA hosted Winter in the Woods. Originally set up as a fundraiser for the Rink, this event has snowballed over the last 4 years into an event that unifies sports, business, volunteerism, culture, and community spirit.
Chuck-a-Puck has spoken – our outdoor rink will be named after Many Legs Pet Grooming & Supplies until next year!
Warm Gratitude extended to all involved:
