The dream started over 15 years ago with a group of community leaders determined to bring the dynamic and diverse cultures of the local communities together to promote safe, cooperative and actively healthy neighbourhoods. To realize their dream, these visionary leaders founded the North East Centre of Community Society (NECCS), an organization dedicated to the challenge of building a facility that would serve the sport, recreation, educational and cultural needs of the northeast. The dream quickly started to take shape, gaining support and funding from the City of Calgary and YMCA, along with a generous naming sponsorship from the Genesis Land Corporation.
