The Bay Treasure Chest Association

Did you know that the Hubbards Barn Association (HBA) is a partner organization of the Bay Treasure Chest? We’re part of the Community Centre Hub, one of the eight non-profit partners in the St. Margaret’s Bay area that make up the Bay Treasure Chest Association (BTCA).

As a BTCA partner, the HBA helps to recruit and coordinate volunteers who provide many hours of service for the BTCA’s weekly 50/50 draw. As you know, that draw awards prize money to a weekly winning player and provides a significant source of funding for partner organizations.

At the HBA, we use our share of BTCA funds for several specific project areas: trail maintenance and enhancement; accessibility improvements; and other facility enhancements that improve our programming and services, such as our Hubbards Farmers’ Market, while respecting the heritage and ecological integrity of the Hubbards Barn and Community Park. We’ll be announcing our plans for BTCA-funded projects in the near future!
