The Community Centre Needs You

The Community Centre is a building.
But it is also an idea, a feeling, and an opportunity.

It is where we store our history and make our memories. It is where friendships are built and community happens.

People move to Wildwood because of the location, the schools, the reputation, and the character of the neighbourhood. The Community Centre is part of all of that.

It is where we make our ice and groom our ski trails. It is where we host birthday parties, celebrations of life, New Year’s Eve gatherings, and countless other moments that bring us together. The Community Centre is there for us.

But what exactly is it, and are we there for it?

At its simplest, the Community Centre is a building owned by the City. As long as a community group is willing to organize and operate it, the City provides just enough funding to keep the lights on and the building heated.

What happens after that is up to us.

Which means it is up to you.

Like many volunteer organizations, the Board running the Centre is facing challenges. People are busy. Life is online. There never seem to be enough hours in the day.

We need volunteers, for the Board, for activities, and for events.

Some current Board members have been involved for more than 20 years. Their dedication has kept the Centre alive and thriving, but we now need fresh ideas, new energy, and more people willing to step forward. Everyone currently involved remains committed, but we need more of our community to participate.

Because without volunteers, the lights go out.

No skating. No canteen. No parties. No ski trails.

An empty building quickly becomes a liability, an eyesore , or worse, something we lose forever.

We need you.
We need your friends.
We need your neighbours.

Our final Board meeting of the year will be held in person at the Community Centre on Wednesday, June 3 at 7:30 p.m.

If you can find the time, please attend and join the conversation about how we can grow participation and strengthen the future of the Club and our community.

We hope to see you there.
