COMMUNITY CENTER ACTIVITES & COVID
In an effort to keep our community safe the center will follow the provincial COVID guidelines. Hand sanitizer and cleaning supplies are available.

HALLOWEEN AT THE CENTER
In recent years we have offered a drive-up trick-or-treating event at the community center. Children may participate outside the decorated community center between 5-6pm on Halloween evening. Please feel free to offer Trick or Treating at your home if you wish!

Register in advance so we can ensure we make enough treat bags for everyone! Text or call Sara at 902-916-3476 by 2pm, Sunday, October 29th. (texting preferred!)

Everyone can lend a hand & help make this a magical, spooky evening for the children!

• Community members can drop off treats Saturday & Sunday (Oct 28 & 29th) by 1pm at the center and volunteers will create treat bags.
• It would be lovely if pumpkins(carved or uncarved) were dropped off to be displayed!

Annual Tree Lighting
We are planning to hold the tree lighting event on Wednesday, November 29th , 6:30-7:30. Storm date, Thursday, December 30th.

Gym Equipment
Gym equipment is now available for use in the basement until May. Please clean after use.

Center Rentals
After many years the cost to rent the center will be increasing to $50 for community members and $100 for non-community members. Rental agreements will now include a detailed list of clean-up requirements and a cleaning fee will be charged if not met. Please contact Kellie to book the center:

There is a book exchange at the center. Feel free to drop off or pick up a new book.

Internet at the Center
The Center is now connected to Red Sands Internet who is providing this at no cost as part of the company’s local community support program. A guest account is set up to allow Community members to access the net from their car or within the center(with a door code). The password is Taylor575

Center Access
If you require a door code, please contact Kellie: cousinkellie@pei.sympatico.ca or 902-620-8007.

AED at the Center
The Community Center has installed an automated external defibrillator (AED). It’s an easy-to-use, medical device that can analyze the heart’s rhythm and, if necessary, deliver an electrical shock(defibrillation) to help the heart re-establish an effective rhythm. The device is on the wall in the entrance of the Center and can be accessed by persons with a door entry or through a call to 911 (the AED is registered with 911 and EMS. They can provide a door code for emergency access if the AED is needed).
