About the Fort Garry Community Centre
In the fall of 2009, the former Victoria Community Centre and the former Fort Garry Community Club entered into formal discussions to amalgamate into one community centre under one Board of Directors. A motion to amalgamate was passed and by Christmas 2009 the Fort Garry Community Centre (FGCC) was born.
The FGCC provides recreation and programming to the community through its two locations at 80 Derek Street and 880 Oakenwald Avenue. Each site has a multi-purpose building and skate change building, playgrounds, soccer fields and baseball diamonds, a total of four enclosed ice rinks and two pleasure rinks. For more detail about our grounds and facilities, please click on the Locations tab in the menu above.
The neighbourhoods served by FGCC include Crescent Park, Point Road, Beaumont, Buffalo, Parker, most of Pembina Strip and a small sliver of Earl Grey. The boundary runs along the CNR mainline from Waverley Street to Pembina Highway, over to and along Jubilee Avenue to Riverdale Street, south along the Red River to the north edge of the Wildewood Club, south along Netley Street and Point Road back to the Red River, then follows the river south to the Fort Garry Bridge. From there it follows Bishop Grandin Boulevard west to Pembina Highway, runs north to McGillivray Boulevard, then west to Waverley Street and north back to the CNR rail line.
