About Us

take a virtual tour

The Mill-Courtland Neighbourhood Association, the Highland-Stirling Community Group, and the Cedar Hill Community Group are comprised of dedicated volunteers who work very hard to provide a variety of resources, programs, experiences and opportunities to people within their community.  These groups work with several community partners to provide a variety of affordable recreational, educational and social programs, activities, and special events to meet the needs and interests of the residents in their neighbourhood.  

Our warm, caring atmosphere is a result of everyone working closely to help build a healthy, vibrant and safe neighbourhood. The centre is fully accessible and conveniently located within walking distance to public transit. Drop by and make a new friend!

Groups​ & Associations

rink volunteers

Running an outdoor rink is never an easy task, especially with our unpredictable Canadian winters. This year we put a liner down which helped tremendously! It was great to see so many people enjoying the rink this year and sharing their pictures with us on social media.

A big thank you to all of our dedicated lead winter rink volunteers including: Andrew Cant, Steve McGee, Lisa Lambourne, Mary McKay, Ron Williams. We could not have done it without you!

Wanna join the crew? No experience necessary. To volunteer, contact the centre at 519-741-2491
