Giving Tuesday: Strengthening Our Community, Together

Every day at DCC, we see the power of community in action—children discovering new skills, seniors finding connection, families accessing programs that support their well-being, and neighbours coming together in a safe, welcoming place. None of this happens by accident. It happens because people like you choose to invest in a community where everyone belongs.

This giving season, we invite you to make a meaningful impact by supporting DCC as your charitable choice.

Why your Gift Matters

As a registered charity, DCC relies on the generosity of donors to keep our programs accessible and our campus thriving. Your contribution helps us:

• Subsidize community programs
• Maintain and enhance our expanding campus – ensuring it remains a vibrant, inclusive space
• Respond to evolving community needs – with new initiatives, improved facilities, and innovative programming

Because of community support, DCC is able to offer free and subsidized programs and enhance our facility and play spaces:

• 112 hours of free indoor skating for 2,399 skaters
• 94 hours of stick and puck for 1,151 players
• Skate with Santa & Friends event free for 500 families
• 195 hours of open gym in the Dakota Fieldhouse for 2,300 participants
• 135 hours of free programming through Doors Open Dakota

Together, we’ve grown our community centre to serve even more people and provide some of the best facilities and play spaces in our City:

• Dakota Fieldhouse
• Jumpstart Community Outdoor Rink
• Ice plant upgrades
• Fitness playground
• Dakota Event Hall
• Accessibility viewing platforms installed in North and South Arenas

Giving Tuesday is more than a day of generosity; it’s a moment to reflect on the kind of community we want to build together. One that is connected. Inclusive. Resilient. Hopeful. Your contribution today helps ensure that DCC remains a place where those values come to life—now and for future generations.

If you’re able, please consider making a charitable donation to support DCC. Your generosity keeps programs accessible, our campus strong, and our community thriving.
