The auxiliary hall of the centre is home to a variety of groups, including the Boy Scouts and Girl Guides, karate and dance groups, as well as alcohol anonymous,. These numerous programs enable the Falconridge/Castleridge community to appeal to the wide variety of interests and needs of their diverse residents.
