County of Brant announced that it is less than $15,000 away from reaching the fundraising goal for the new Wilkin Family Community Centre.
This follows three significant donations that will be announced early in the new year.
“The amount of community support we have received for this project is truly incredible,” said David Bailey, Mayor for the County of Brant. “With less than $15,000 left from a $400,000 campaign, we couldn’t be prouder and more grateful for the support of our local businesses and residents. The generosity shown demonstrates why the County of Brant is such a wonderful place to call home.”
The Wilkin Family Community Centre has a construction cost of $1.6 million, with a fundraising goal of $400,000 to help reduce the financial impact on the municipality. Since March 2024, the campaign working group has been actively securing significant donations. Construction on the facility is expected to be completed in 2025.
“We cannot wait to welcome the community to the Wilkin Family Community Centre,” said Mayor Bailey. “The space will be a hub for gatherings, recreation, and cultural events for generations. We encourage everyone to join us in bringing this incredible facility to life and contributing to something truly meaningful.”
Donors who wish to be recognized will be acknowledged on the Donor Wall in the Great Room of the Wilkin Family Community Centre. Several naming opportunities are also available.
