You know that big old community hub with the rinks, soccer fields, ball diamonds, curling sheets, and the parking lot that needs repaving? That’s our Rec Centre. It’s run by a local non-profit (your neighbours on the board), and keeping the lights on is no small feat.
Annual membership fees are a huge part of making it all work. They're not exactly the “get a free toaster” kind of membership, but they’re a solid way to support the place so it can stay in shape for everyone.
What your membership helps with:
Maintenance of the ice arenas, fields, diamonds, curling arena
Keeping the building in usable shape (parking lot included!)
Funding local events and activities
A few perks for members:
Free public skating three times a week
Weekly free shinny hockey
Drop-in curling practice ice on Saturdays
20% off meeting room rentals (excludes halls)
Cheaper rates for member associations and programs
If you use the place even a couple of times a year, it pays for itself. And even if you don't? It's an easy way to pitch in.
2025/26 Membership Rates (valid July 1–June 30):
Family: $92.50
Single: $64.00
Senior Family: $69.00
Senior Single: $47.25
If you’re already booking fields, rooms or ice regularly, you need a membership anyway (or you'll be paying higher rates).
Bottom line:
If you grew up here, have kids in hockey, soccer, dance, love skating or curling, or just want to see our local Rec Centre thrive, grab a membership. It’s one of the simplest ways to invest in the community.
