Lest We Forget

11/09/2025

When community groups use the Centre, it’s important to remember that there are real costs involved in keeping the doors open. Things like snow removal, toilet paper, paper towels, soap, coffee, stir sticks, tea, sugar, cream, lights, heat, cleaning, and supplies are not free—these are expenses the Centre has to cover.

We love seeing people enjoy the space, but use of the facility comes with responsibility. No one is “owed” free access, and the Centre cannot continue to operate if groups feel entitled to use it without contributing to its upkeep. Enjoying the space is wonderful—but entitlement is not support.

Hi everyone,
I wanted to reach out personally and share something honestly and directly.

Over the past months, our board has poured our time, skills, and energy into the SR Balcom Centre. We stepped in during a difficult time and committed ourselves to rebuilding, creating programming, securing support, and serving the community. During this drought, we’ve spent months distributing water, organizing deliveries, and making sure people had what they needed. We did all of this because we care.

Despite that, a small number of individuals have chosen to spread misinformation, twist narratives, and publicly discredit the work we’ve done. Their behaviour hasn’t just been unfair — it has been destructive. It has damaged morale, damaged trust, and discouraged the very people who stepped up when no one else would.

And yes, it has been especially disappointing to hear that some believe the Centre should only be “led locally.” The idea that someone’s contribution is worth less because they were born somewhere else is hurtful, unproductive, and goes against the spirit of community itself. A community grows stronger when people are welcomed for the work they do — not judged by where they come from.

Despite the negativity, many of you have shown kindness, respect, and support. You saw the hours of effort, the late nights, the emergencies, the planning, and the heart behind everything we tried to do. You understood that we stepped up to help — not for praise, not for control, but because this community needed people willing to do the work.

To those people: thank you.
Your encouragement meant more than you know.

We hope the Centre continues, and that those who insisted on change will step forward and put in the time, labour, responsibility, and accountability required. Running a community centre is hard work. It requires more than opinions — it requires action.

We are proud of what we accomplished, even if others refuse to acknowledge it.
And we are grateful to the people who treated us with respect, inclusion, and decency.

Take care of each other.
Communities thrive when people lift each other up — not tear each other down.
