NGCC Play Park Upgrades
NGCC has some exciting news to share! We have gratefully received funding from the Government of Manitoba “From the Ground Up” grant, Councillor Mayes LDR Fund and the City of Winnipeg’s “Community and Neighborhood” grant. Together with money from our General and Lottery accounts, this $192,000 project that has been in the planning stages for 2 years is finally becoming a reality
The project includes the addition of an Accessible Wheelchair Swing that allows those in a wheelchair to swing with friends – this will augment all the other Accessible features that our Play Park has already.
It will also include the addition of 9 more parking spots along the south side of the gym wall along the edge of the greenspace. For anyone the visits us regularly, parking is at a premium most days and evenings, so this will help a bit.
The last portion of the project is the addition of 2 shade structures that are 12′ x 12′ each. This will provide much needed shade for those that come on hot days and need some relief from the sun.
An updated site plan is available on our Facebook post here.
The plan is to have a formal announcement on August 20th at 11 am. Watch the page for more information closer to the date!
Construction is set to begin mid-September.

NGCC Volunteer Program
At NGCC we include a $30 volunteer fee as part of your registration costs, so each time you register for Mini Soccer, Hockey, Basketball, Softball and Baseball you pay this fee. The money collected from this fee is paid back to parents that volunteer – for a 2 hour shift, we mail you a cheque for $30.
Unfortunately, many parents just pay the fee and don’t volunteer their time, but we just want to point out that showing your children that volunteering at your community centre is important and worthwhile! It plants a seed in them for future opportunities that come from volunteering and can teach them valuable lessons about giving back to their community.
At NGCC you can volunteer for the Pre-Teen dances that we host (usually in February and October), our annual Christmas/Holiday event (usually the second Sunday in December) and at our biggest event of the year held on the first Friday in June, our Knight of Celebration! We also run our canteens at different times of the year.
If you are interested in volunteering or need more information, please contact us at 204-256-6654 or by email at ac.ee1785873780lnelg1785873780-yrre1785873780bron@1785873780ofni1785873780.
