Fernwood NRG Family Programming at the Fernwood Community Centre offers dynamic and supportive programming for a diversity of people: children, families, youth, seniors, students, we’ve got you covered.
We love seeing new faces and staying connected with our community through our Family Dinner, Student Dinner, Senior’s Lunch, Family Resource Program, Best Babies Program, and Kindergym–of course, we love the little humans that brighten our days through Out of School Care and our new Youth Program. Above all of this, we’re excited to announce even more programming through the Fernwood Community Centre for our neighbourhood!
The Family Programs team is now offering a Free Fernwood Legal Clinic, Free Tax Clinic, and Summer Camps.
Free Fernwood Legal Clinic

Free Income Tax Clinic
Tax time can bring about not the greatest feelings but Fernwood NRG is here to help! The Family Programs team is working with an accountant to ease the Income Tax process. If you have an individual income under $30,000 or two incomes under $40,000, all you have to do is bring in your forms (T4s, etc.) to the Fernwood Community Centre, fill out a form of ours and we’ll do the rest! This program is free. For more info, email maya@fernwoodnrg.ca or call 250-381-1552 ext.120.
