Our Gymnasium is Coming!

At long last, after many years of effort by many volunteers, our Community Centre has finally been granted approval and funding to construct a full-size gymnasium on our property. With incredible last minute assistance from the Federal Government and the City of Winnipeg, we’ve managed to secure the bulk of the finances required to construct the new facility. Between the two levels of government and a contribution from the Province, some $2.521M has been allocated to our project.

 

The new gymnasium will be generously featured and include not only a full-size sports area, but also a stage on which will appear many events in future years. You can read more about the project at a new website specially made to keep you up to date on the latest construction information. 

 

While we’ve acquired the majority of the funds required to complete the job, there is an amount left that we must raise ourselves. Over the past few years the community centre has been able to raise $250,000 through various programs, but we still need approximately $350,000 to complete the project. Our fundraising program will be announced very soon, and you may find details at the new gym project website. 

 

Thanks to all who have worked on this project over the past 10+ years! The big work is yet to come.
