Your Community Hub in the Ottawa Valley
The Rankin Culture & Recreation Centre — rebuilt by the community, for the community. Bigger and better than ever, and ready to host your next celebration, meeting, or event.
About Our Centre
The 'Centre' has been around for many years under various forms. In fact, the original was built in 1963. Unfortunately, the 'Rink' as it's known to most now, burned in a fire on March 15, 2005. This was a great loss for our entire community and surrounding area.
When asked if they wanted to rebuild or simply cease operations, the community gathered and gave a unanimous thumbs up to rebuild. And that's what we've done!
Everyone agrees that the new Rankin Culture & Recreation Centre is BIGGER AND BETTER!!
