Spring is a time of rejuvenation and that is certainly true in the case of FCCC this year. There are lots of things on the go at the centre right now. You’ve probably noticed that the long promised renewal of the Preschool playground is underway. The project should be completed by the beginning of May. Apologies for any inconvenience arising from construction but the play area was in serious need of an upgrade and expansion. In addition to the playground, a modular extension will be installed soon on the Alder Bay dock, which should ease some of the congestion there this summer.

There will be program demonstrations, information on programming and services available at the centre, the opportunity to provide feedback and suggestions to the staff and the Board of Directors, and much, much more.
