Wilkin Family Community Centre Fundraising Committee seeks community support as it approaches final construction stages

County of Brant, ON – The County of Brant is reaching out to the community to help achieve the $400,000 fundraising goal for the new Wilkin Family Community Centre.

“We are incredibly grateful to the businesses and organizations that have stepped up for this campaign,” said Mayor David Bailey. “We’re now in the home stretch with only $77,000 left to raise, and we’re looking for the community’s support to achieve it!”

The Wilkin Family Community Centre has a construction cost of $1 6 million, with a fundraising goal of $400,000 to help alleviate the project's financial impact on the municipality. Since March 2024, the campaign working group has been actively seeking significant donations. Construction on the facility is expected to be completed by the end of 2024.

"The Wilkin Family Community Centre will be a vibrant space for gatherings, recreation, and cultural events for generations to come,” said Mayor Bailey. “Every contribution brings us closer to building a stronger, more connected community. We invite the community to join us in shaping the future of this incredible facility and be a part of something truly special."
