Message from the Bonnyville & District Centennial Centre

The options for recreation can be endless. Bonnyville is a hidden gem that has so much to offer to individuals and families alike. The importance of recreation can be described as one’s physical well-being and one’s psychological well-being, which leads to a community’s ability to obtain an overall healthy lifestyle. We encourage this throughout the Bonnyville community by programming for all demographics, and striving to meet the needs of all community members. The mission of the Bonnyville & District Centennial Centre is to provide diverse programming and services for our community with a focus on guest experience and creating an inclusive welcoming environment. Through this guide you will learn about opportunities for you and your family to enjoy, all the while being engaged in community recreation and all of its benefits.
