THANK YOU FROM THE WASHAGO COMMUNITY CENTRE CORPORATION
Effective January 1, 2020, Severn Township will assume the operation of the Washago Community Centre.
It has been our pleasure to operate the Washago Community Centre and would like to acknowledge and thank the many volunteers who have operated the Centre since its inception in 1956. We would like to thank the volunteers, grant contributors, generous donors and the general public for supporting the fundraising events and attending programs offered here at the Centre.
Since 2006, the above mentioned sources of income have contributed to the purchase of kitchen equipment and extensive furnishings that are necessary to operate the building and payment of all ongoing maintenance costs including furnace repairs. The inventory contributed by the Washago Community Centre Corporation is approximately $170,000.00 and we are very proud of this accomplishment and this contribution will be passed on to Severn Township and the residents as of January 1/2020.
The volunteers, too numerous to name, have made the Centre a very successful operation and a hub of the community. The Centre has been in operation since 1956 and closed in 2006 for approximately 1 year due to structural issues and reopened in 2007. The reopening of the Centre was a result of a hard working Board of Directors and individuals who were passionate about the need for a recreation and social centre for the residents of Washago and area and worked hard and diligently to make this happen.
WE THANK YOU AND WISH SEVERN TOWNSHIP MUCH SUCCESS !!
