Pinevest Homes made a $20,000 donation in support of the Wilkin Family Community Centre on Thursday, January 9, 2025.
This donation brings the County closer to reaching its $400,000 fundraising goal for the project.
“Pinevest Homes has been a wonderful supporter of many County of Brant projects,” said David Bailey, Mayor for the County of Brant. “This donation reflects their ongoing commitment to giving back to the community, and for that, we are incredibly grateful.”
Pinevest Homes has been building homes in the County of Brant and surrounding area for over 15 years. Giving back has been a cornerstone of the company’s values, as seen in their contributions to various County initiatives, including the Cowan Community Health Hub, the Paris Community Pool, the lights at Penmans Dam and most recently, the installation of a Verdin Clock in downtown St. George.
“We are incredibly thankful for the support we’ve received from the community over the past 15 years,” said Henry Stolp, Founder of Pinevest Homes. “The County of Brant is truly a special place, and we’ve made it a priority to give back and show residents how much we appreciate them.”
Set to open in 2025, the Wilkin Family Community Centre will feature approximately 2,055 square feet of indoor space. As Brant’s first net-zero building, it will offer indoor and outdoor recreation, with spaces for social activities, family gatherings, and cultural events. The new facility will also house the Paris Lawn Bowling Club and Paris Seniors Club 99.
With a construction cost of $1.6 million, the fundraising campaign is nearing its $400,000 goal which will reduce the financial impact on the municipality. Since spring 2024, donations have been actively sought, with naming opportunities available for various features. Donors will be recognized on the Donor Wall in the Centre’s Great Room.
