The Operating Fund for BHCC was nearly depleted by the time the Community Centre was allowed to re-open after the COVID Pandemic. To assist in the recovery and continue to offer programs and events, residents were asked to contribute $1.00 per activity attended or purchase an annual Supporter Card for $60.00.
There are now sufficient funds in the Operating account to sustain the Centre for the next fiscal year. The Board of Directors voted unanimously to defer collection of Activity Fees for this coming year. This is a deferral only. We are cautiously optimistic that revenue generated from the concert series, social events, yard sale, golf league contributions, and other contributing events will sustain operations for the immediate future without the need to collect Activity Fees. A decision will be made next October, 2025. If revenues are sufficient and operations are adequately funded, the fees will continue to be waived. If not, the Activity Fees will be reinstated.
The Board of Directors thanks all of the residents who understood the need and cooperated in paying the fees. A special thank you goes to the Activity Coordinators who collected the fees. Your efforts are appreciated.
We look forward to your continued participation in the many events and activities offered for your enjoyment at the Briar Hill Community Centre.
Sincerely,
Your Board of Directors,
BRIAR HILL COMMUNITY CENTRE

We have some interesting discussion groups to help your brain limber up after the pandemic. There are designated speakers but also a lot of questions and ideas and friendly discussions. Come out and join us!
The PLG returned October 1st for another season of ‘weekly’ discussions on topics of interest as presented by attendees on select Tuesdays, 9:00 am in the BHCC Lounge. Briar Hill residents and their guests are welcome. Meetings are 2 hours in a non-confrontational forum wherein a PLG’er presents a topic of general interest in the first portion of the meeting. A recess with refreshments is taken, then we conclude with a “Round Table” short presentation of a current topic.
See the eNews for the current topic!
There is a fee of $1 for refreshments.
