Community Events

By attending our events, you’re not just showing up for a good time—you’re investing in the future.

 

SBCDA organizes a variety of events throughout the year. From BBQs, bake sales and silent auctions to celebrating key milestones lie the 50 th Anniversary of the    Chi Cheemaun ferry and more, these activities promote our community while raising funds needed to:
 -Beautify and maintain our public spaces
