The Winakwa Community Centre is excited to be moving forward with our Outdoor Campus and Path Project, set to break ground in Spring 2025. We can’t wait to see this new addition come to life and bring even more opportunities for our community to gather and thrive.

Looking ahead, we are also preparing for our 7th Annual Winter Carnival, taking place on February 8, 2025. This event is one you won’t want to miss! With a mix of indoor and outdoor activities, there's fun for everyone – from kids to adults. A fan favorite, the “Jam Can Tournament,” will return, and we’re working hard to improve and expand this event each year. A huge thank you to all of our volunteers who make this day memorable. Without their dedication, events like these wouldn't be possible.

Our Community Centre continues to be a vital place for everyone in our neighborhood. We offer a safe and fun environment for both kids and adults to grow and be part of something larger than themselves. In addition to the Winter Carnival, our board is committed to hosting events throughout the year, including our Winter Carnival, Community Clean up, Craft Sales, and Lunch with Santa.

We’d also like to recognize the students from WPC and Beliveau schools who volunteer at our events. Your time and energy are invaluable, and we are grateful for your support. If you're interested in volunteering or giving back to your community, please don’t hesitate to reach out to us at office.winakwacc@gmail.com.

Looking forward to all the fun and exciting events we have planned for this coming year. See you on the field and diamond in 2025 – it’s going to be our best year yet!

 Hello Winakwa family and friends, I just wanted to take a few moments to write to you all and let you know what is happening here at Winakwa C.C. We have come out of a very trying couple of years with what I hope will be better days ahead. This community continued to thrive during the pandemic and I’m pleased to say we want to continue with that momentum. I’m a firm believer that you can really tell how strong your community is when the chips are down and your back is against the wall. Windsor Park made me proud to be a resident with its response to those difficult times. #WindsorParkHasHeart

Programs are ever changing but the community's favorites like Slo pitch, dance and floor hockey remain. Others like soccer had another successful season and will see exciting new growth and development in the spring of 2023! A long standing tradition of baseball here at Winakwa sadly saw a pause this past summer as we are searching for a convenor to continue the program. Please let me know if you have any interest in helping us out with that position. If your weekdays are free and you are looking for a fun way to keep moving and physical, why not give pickleball a try? It’s affordable and an absolute blast to play. The community garden continues to be a real star here at the club. All boxes were again spoken for and even more fruit trees have been added for the community. Within the next few years we may be able to start reaping those sweet rewards.

The club itself has gone through a few physical changes over the last couple of years. With upgrades to interior and exterior LED lighting, new LED lights on our two hockey rinks and parking not to mention they now have timers! Woohoo! Don’t forget we still have the off leash dog run in rink #1 (closest to the parking lot) during the spring and summer months. Not to be outdone but a couple of small renovations inside the rooms have also given our regular users like dance and Hercules weight lifting ways to better serve their groups. We also have very exciting future plans to create an amazing and much needed outdoor experience for the community that will see all our amenities come together. These are indeed very exciting times here at Winakwa.
