CARMELLE’S CORNERSo far 2017 has been a great year for NGCC! We saw some major renovations at both sites completed with funding from GCWCC’s Renovation Grant and the Canada 150 Grant as well. All this just makes our great centre look even better!

New this spring registration was our first full scale use of the Sign Up.com program that the City of Winnipeg arranged for the CC’s to access. We used it for our Volunteer program, and other than a couple of glitches that were worked out quickly, the program worked great from an administrative view, and a user perspective also. Everyone I talked to found it easy to use and the auto

reminders helped everyone out! The number of “no shows” at events were down significantly, and refund cheques were mailed out quickly after each event.

Sadly this year, we lost one of our founding members. Walter Jennings was one of the driving forces behind Glenlee CC and served on the Board for 40+ years. He was one of the main reasons that we always had money in the bank and was a financially sound CC, and his wisdom carried over to the NGCC Boards that we have had in the past and present. Walter was 99 years old when he passed and we will miss him.

Hopefully everyone is enjoying their summer...don’t forget to register early for fall sports!

Carmelle Remillard – Executive Assistant

KEVIN’S SPECIAL OPS We’ve made a lot of important improvements this year to our facilities at both the Norberry and Glenlee community sites. These renovations were made possible with Winnipeg’s City Renovation grant and the federal government’s Canada 150 program.

At the Glenlee site we’ve installed new hot water tanks and wallboard along all the walls to prevent damage. There is a new entry door that meets Accessibility criteria for people with disabilities.

At the Norberry site there is now skate flooring in the hallway and dressing rooms by the arena and new windows in skate change area. We’ve also installed new siding and lighting outside along the rink. Improvements to our main hall include a new projector and screen setup.

We have a new advertising agreement with Sunova Credit Union, which includes new wraps on both our Zambonis.

Future renovation plans on the Norberry site will focus on the main hall washrooms, kitchen, and an improved security system. At the Glenlee site we will be working on batting cage revamping.

Hope to see you at our facilities!

A SPECIAL THANK YOU TO ALL OUR ADVERTISERS

The Norberry-Glenlee Community Centre wishes to thank the many businesses who purchased an advertisement to make this publication possible.

Your ad helped us to defer all costs relating to this newsletter. We value your support and gratefully

acknowledge your participation.

PRESIDENT’S MESSAGEIt’s a great year to celebrate communities, large and small, as we also celebrate 150 years of Canada. We have even more to be proud of in the Norberry-Glenlee area as Saint Vital is the second oldest permanent settlement in Manitoba. Communities have worked together on this land for for more than two centuries to help each other survive and thrive. We happily continue that tradition at the Norberry-Glenlee Community Centre by providing facilities and programs to enrich everyone’s community experience.

This summer saw our best turnout ever to our annual Knight of Celebration event, bringing together members of our community for food, volunteer recognition, family fun and a wonderful fireworks display. I would like to thank all the tireless volunteers that helped us with this hugely successful event.

In that vein, we recognized Nikki Palmer for her dedication to our Mini Soccer program over the last several years. We also thanked Mike Thompson for his longtime volunteer service on our board.

Thanks again to NGCC’s amazing staff, our dedicated volunteers, and the funding agencies that recognize the needs of the community and rise to the challenge.

Sean Fedorowich – President
