Kathy Rowe presents Tanya and Greg Haughey with the winning basket
By Kathy Rowe
If you visited our CCRA table at Winterfest, you would have noticed the generous over-stuffed gift basket on display. I want to thank a very dedicated community member, who prefers to remain nameless, for putting together such a lovely prize. Residents who purchased a 2026 CCRA membership by February 28th were eligible to win the basket. A random draw was done at our March board meeting and I am pleased to announce that Tanya and Greg Haughey were the winners! Congratulations!
Membership chair, Denise Bacon, was out of town, so I had the pleasure of delivering the basket to Tanya and Greg. Items in the basket included a $50 gift certificate for Rouge Kitchen, a $60 Disney Plus gift card with movie snacks, a Jelly Cat, a knitted throw, a Centennial Hoodie and more. Tanya and Greg were thrilled to receive the basket and so was their dog Rayn (despite the fact that there were no dog treats in the basket).
Each year Centennial residents can look forward to a chance to win a gift basket when they buy a CCRA membership on behalf of their household. Memberships always increase with this incentive. Your membership helps fund annual community events such as Winterfest, Earth Day, Summer Concerts, Waterfront Festival and more. A membership also helps give us a strong voice when politicians are making decisions that will impact our community. Memberships enable us to donate to charitable groups such as Fernie Youth Services, the 2nd Highland Creek Scouts, and many others. It’s not too late to get your 2026 membership. We will be selling them at Earth Day and door to door canvassing will begin in the late spring. We are always in need of canvassers. Please contact Denise Bacon if you’d like to canvass this spring.
