BCCA
Sometimes, all it takes to do something is to simply START. While we hem and haw and plan and think about it, time passes. Once we take that first step, that first actual act of doing, it becomes easier to see the next step and the next. We become more vested in the outcome and our creativity steps up to the plate. The month of May can be the start of anything you want.
At the Community Centre, we have several programs and services:
- MOVIE NIGHT @ BCCA has started up again and it has been a hit with the community. The next one is on Friday, May 12 – DOUBLE FEATURE!

The BCCA Board of Directors have issued an Expression of Interest for a Daycare Director:
The greater Bragg Creek area has a significant shortage of childcare services, particularly registered (subsidized) options. As a result, the Bragg Creek Community Association (BCCA) is investigating the possibility of leasing space in the Centre for a licensed daycare. Private or non-profit, facility-based will both be considered.
The BCCA is looking for a passionate and driven individual interested in leading the development of this daycare facility.
The licensed daycare would be its own entity, where the BCCA is leasing the space to the daycare. The operation of the daycare would be the responsibility of the director and their staff. The director will need to liaise with the BCCA who will act in supporting roles for all aspects of the process of opening the daycare.
Interested individuals may submit their business plans to the BCCA Manager, Kim Perraton, at manager@braggcreekca.com.
Many months ago, the BCCA started a rather large project. That was to implement a software package called Amilia to help manage participants, activities and events. Amilia facilitates online registration and payment, and allows you to access information about your activities, registrations and transactions. Our work on this project has been worth the effort and the wait. You will now have access to all the features on the Amilia App. Members, check your email for a link to activate your account.
We are so excited for the next few months leading into summer. It’s time to roll up our sleeves, take the first step and dig into the next season of fun. What about you? What can you start today?
