The Ray-Cam community centre on East Hastings Street at the edge of Strathcona owes much of its expansion to the dedication and vision of committed volunteers, organizers and parents.
Since its 1987 opening as a 9,500-square-foot building, Ray-Cam added a second floor, a gymnasium, weight room, a seniors lounge and more recreation and administrative space as well as a front counter, and has since grown by an additional 15,600 square feet. The centre also runs a licensed daycare and dozens of sports and educational programs. Now, one of the world's largest corporations has sponsored the latest changes at the co-operative community centre. Coca-Cola Canada donated $350,000 to Ray-Cam to build an outdoor court suited for basketball and ball hockey. The investment will also fund three years of sports programming and leadership classes.
