Rosemary Brown Recreation Centre Grand Opening

Join us for the official opening of Rosemary Brown Recreation Centre on Saturday, May 11. 

The celebrations will run from noon and go until 4 pm. Following a brief introduction from Mayor Mike Hurley and Councillor Sav Dhaliwal, local BC artist, Jill Anholt will speak about her public art piece, Gliding Edge. Afterwards, Cleta Brown (Rosemary Brown’s daughter) will say a few words and assist with the ceremonial ribbon cutting.

Visitors are encouraged to take transit, cycle or walk as there is limited parking.
