Make a Difference!
Trout Lake Community Centre Association (TLCCA) is a registered charity that was first incorporated as a non-profit society in 1956. The Association was instrumental in advocating to have the original Centre built in 1963 and has worked closely with the Park Board ever since.
Our role lies in shaping programming, hiring instructors, raising funds and accessing grants, developing policy, and advocating for our parks. In this way we are ensuring that decisions affecting the community are made at the grassroots level.
The revenue generated through programs and rentals stays in our community and is invested in family activities, special events, facility enhancements, park programs and artist residencies, among other things.
Your donations go directly towards supporting the work we do, and we are truly grateful for your generosity.
