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!

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: Lisa, Mary, Andrew, Carol, Steve, and Ron. We could not have done it without you!

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