Community Club Update
The public health and the safety of our community remains to be the top priority. While we were able to open our doors for a few hours for the Southern Health flu clinic on November 12th, we will continue to keep our doors closed as the cases of covid in the province continue to rise and heightened code red restrictions are in place.
While the club remains closed, the board continues to meet virtually to discuss facility maintenance, future renovation planning, pursuing of local grants, fundraising ideas and other areas of importance. If you have any questions, comments or concerns, we would love to hear from you. You can contact us at sfxcclub@gmail.com. One question we have received recently was regarding ice on the outdoor rink. Due to the current restrictions all recreational activities and sports facilities are to remain closed, and as such we will not be making ice until restrictions loosen and Public Health deems it safe for us to do so. We know that everyone is looking for things to do during these cold and isolating months, but in order to adhere to the provincial guidelines and to keep the community as safe as possible, we need to postpone the ice making until it is safe and we are allowed to do so. We thank everyone for your patience and understanding and look forward to seeing you soon.

After a successful, masked and socially distanced AGM held on September 16th, we were very lucky and excited to have 3 great new community members join our volunteer board. We would like to take this opportunity to formally introduce the following new board members.
- Lee-Anne Brewer: Lee-Anne, her husband Schon and 2 girls moved to St. Francois Xavier in September 2019. They are settled in and enjoying their new home.
- Bobby Penner: Bobby, his wife and 5 year old son have been living on Lido Plage for the past 5 years. Their son attends daycare in St. Francois Xavier and the whole family loves attending events at the community club. The local community is important to them and this was a way for them to help out.
- Jaclyn: Jaclyn, her husband and 2 children moved to St. Francois Xavier White Horse Estates this past year. They are excited to be a part of our growing community and look forward to supporting the club.
A Few Thank You’s
- Thank you to Michelle Pinette and Paul Gillis for serving on the board the past 2+ years! The time, energy and support you have provided to the community and the club over the past couple of years was very much appreciated!
- Thank you to Kevin at Wantzing Plumbing & Heating for fixing the community clubs water heater the next day after we called him. Kevin is a local plumber and did a fantastic job! Kevin can be reached at info@wantzingplumbing.com for any plumbing and heating questions.
- Thank you to Rita Tully and Ashley Reay for the lovely Facebook Remembrance Day photo gallery of our local veterans. What an amazing way to pay tribute and remember all of the local hero’s that served our country.
- Thank you to Lorraine Freiboth for organizing the Halloween storybook in the park. It was great to see some of the families getting out an enjoying a story and some exercise in the park in a socially distanced fashion.
- Thank you to Ashley Reay for our newly designed website! Feel free to check it out at www.sfxcc.com.
- Last but not least…thank you to the RM for organizing the demolition of the old curling rink behind the community club. While it is sad to see a little piece of our town’s history go…nothing lasts forever and we are excited to open up this space for future community activities.
