MISSION STATEMENT
Our mission is to maintain and enhance the Commanda Community Centre in order to foster a continued sense of community by hosting events and supporting activities, classes, meetings and gatherings.
HISTORY
Established in 1934, and held in trust as the Commanda Social Club, the Community Centre still stands in its original location. Over time, many additions and improvements have been made. In 1987 the organization was incorporated as a not-for-profit corporation; Commanda Community Centre.
In 2005, The Trillium Foundation and several local business generously made possible a number of renovations to the building. Including the replacement of old leaky windows, insulating the walls, and replacing the siding. The lighting inside the building was upgraded and new hardwood flooring was installed throughout the main event space.
The new exterior sign was a subsequent improvement, designed and created by Joe Nigrini, and installed by a group of volunteers.
In 2008, thanks to community fundraising efforts, the older portion of the roof was fully replaced.
To this day, Commanda Community remains a grassroots organization, fully managed by volunteer members. Operational costs are funded by events, donations and the community. We occasionally receive grants from various levels of government.
