Notice to Parents

Now that the Centre is open later hours, please remember that you are responsible for ensuring that your children get home safely and in a timely manner from their activities at the Centre.

Some children are at the Centre from the time they get out of school until well after dark. Some of the children are afraid to go home in the dark.

The Community Centre does not have the resources to escort children to their homes.

Staff at the Centre have tried calling parents to come and get their children, and there is often no one at home. This is not acceptable. The Centre is not a babysitting service. If parents are not able to pick up their children, they must make arrangements for someone else to get them home safely.

Please be advised that children ten years of age and under will now be sent home at 7pm from the Centre, so that they are not out by themselves late at night. Please ensure that there is an adult at home at this time.

Any questions or concerns may be directed to Rita Richard, Program Coordinator, at 943-6897 or email to nccentre@mts.net

This is the beautiful new mural on the wall of Norquay Community Centre at 65 Granville Street. It was a joint project of the Norquay Community Centre, Graffiti Gallery and Tim and Connie Friesen of AVEC (Arts Vitally Enrich Community) who came all the way from Wisconsin to work on this mural with our kids. This was the grand finale of the Art Lives Here! event put on by the community centre. Well done, everyone! The kids also painted a number of other, smaller pictures that are equally beautiful. These pictures will soon be gracing the walls of the community centre. Come on out and take a look!


A brilliant splash of colour		Jeremy Johnson proudly stands in front of the mural that his big brother Phillip helped to paint.		Big Brother Phillip Johnson. Phillip also worked hard making our beautiful community gardens this summer, with the Boys & Girls Club.
