In 2018, two community volunteers had a dream. A warm skate shack, with washrooms and a storage garage for the rink volunteers. In 2023, this became a reality. It also grew into something much bigger. A 2-storey addition to our building that will also offer everything from the original vision and more. Kneeling in the snow to tie your child’s skates and using a porta potty will be a thing of the past. The Silver Springs Community Association “SSCA” is a hub all year round and provides a free, safe, always inviting atmosphere for all ages.
Phase 1 will include:
- a ground level, accessible room that will be a warm, dry area to put on your skates
- accessible, gender neutral, public washrooms available to community users year round
- garage to store and repair equipment used by our amazing volunteer rink maintenance crew
- storage for our West Valley Softball and Norwest Soccer programs.
- multi purpose room that can hold 80-100 people, allowing SSCA to provide additional youth and senior programs
- indigenous artwork, to further our commitment to truth and reconciliation
Phase 2 is the upgrade of the rinks and surrounding outdoor common areas.
Financially we are at 75% of our fundraising goal for phase 1.

Did you know that the original building was partially funded by Silver Springs residents in 1980? The fundraising campaign known as the “Square Footers” encouraged Springers’ to contribute towards the build. 394 residents came together and helped raise the community’s required half of the $600,000 cost.
