County of BrantLocal beer company makes donation to Wilkin Family Community Centre

The Paris Beer Company made a $10,000 donation to the County of Brant, which will go towards construction costs associated with the new Wilkin Family Community Centre, on Tuesday, August 6, 2024.

“Thank you to The Paris Beer Company for their support of this project,” said David Bailey, Mayor for the County of Brant. “With its strong presence in the County, we are grateful for the assistance and support from this vibrant organization that brings people together in the spirit of community and friendship.”

Located in Wincey Mills and offering an elevated beer experience alongside mouthwatering food pairings, The Paris Beer Company is a family-run brewery, with the hops and grain grown locally in Paris. A champion of friendly and truly welcoming service, The Paris Beer Company was recently nominated for the Accessible Brant Award for preventing and removing physical barriers.

“We are pleased to support the Paris Lawn Bowling Club. This historical club has been, and continues to be, a quiet sanctuary to enjoy sport and camaraderie. We’re glad to be a part of that tradition” said John Edgar on behalf of The Paris Beer Company.

About the Wilkin Family Community Centre

The new Wilkin Family Community Centre, located at 169 Grand River Street North in Paris, will feature approximately 2,055 square feet of indoor space. The centre will offer facilities for indoor and outdoor recreation, social activities, family gatherings, cultural and arts events, and various other opportunities for residents and visitors to enjoy. It will be Brant’s first net-zero building and will also house the Paris Lawn Bowling Club and the Paris Seniors Club 99. Construction is expected to be completed by the end of 2024.

The Wilkin Family Community Centre has a construction cost of $1.6 million, with a fundraising goal of $400,000 to help alleviate the project’s financial impact on the municipality. Since March 2024, the campaign working group has been actively seeking significant donations.
