​

Challenges

• Memberships down to 177 this year from 243 last year. Yet volunteers up to 86 from 40 so there is community support but lack of value seen in memberships.
• Weddings rentals pre-covid were every weekend in June, July and �August. This year one wedding booked. Significant revenue loss. Updated and lowered our rental fees to be more competitive.
• Must repay the Canada Emergency Business Account CEBA $40,000 during the next year.
• Increasing our activity means increased demands on human resources – both staff and volunteers. We need to continue to expand and better coordinate our volunteer base.
• Co-workspace launched in 2020 closed in July due to water damage. Now obsolete due to new Mage high speed internet. Need to explore reallocation of the space.
• Ongoing maintenance issues with an aging building will continue to require investment to keep the building and grounds safe and useful.

​

​

Lifecycle Asset Analysis

Looking Forward to 2022/2023

• Growing and maintaining our core events and programming
• Ongoing facility repairs as defined in the Capital Improvement Plan requiring fundraising and additional grant applications to begin to update and replace the aging infrastructure of the Centre.
• Playground resurfacing this fall – volunteers required –sign up here!
• New gym lights, automatic door lock system and booking software.
• Focus on rentals, grants, events and bookings to add to the finances for the Centre.
• Exploring the establishment of an in house daycare in partnership with the Little Schoolhouse.

�����Questions?�Thank you for your time and attention! ��“It makes me proud to live in a community with a facility that provides space for mental, physical, and emotional well-being! Where else can you go to watch a concert, a movie, play a sport, attend a wedding or a funeral, find support, or vote? The community center is part of my heart and the heart of the community.” S.D.���
