We’re thrilled to welcome Brothers In Farms to SSAC for the first time! Proud Sunshine Coasters, this six-piece band has played over 150 shows and released six albums in the last 13 years. With a high-energy blend of roots, pop, reggae, folk, Balkan, Latin, and funk, they deliver what they call “rambunctious West Coast party music.” Infectious, fun, and always full of stoke, their uplifting stage presence makes for an unforgettable night. Band members: Chris Hergesheimer, Jim Dorey, Clarence Deis, Kevin Stremlaw, Kelly Backs, and Jack Davis. Tickets at the SSAC front desk or Little Brit of Heaven. This one may sell out—don’t wait!

SSAC Endowment Fund
Extra funding and donations are needed to meet the extensive financial demands of maintaining the Centre.
SSAC Endowment Fund
In order to achieve sustainable financial stability, we have established a SSAC Endowment Fund that will generate revenue from interest accrued each year. This fund is to be administered by the Sunshine Coast Foundation.
Affordable Lunch Program
The aim of the Affordable Lunch donation program is to avoid increases in the price of our entrées, and keep it fixed currently at either $10 or $12. Every member deserves a great affordable meal in the wonderful environment of the Centre.
General Revenue Donations
Gifts to general revenue are particularly vital to enable us to deal with large, unexpected costs. You can donate to us at the front desk by cash, cheque, credit or debit card. You can also download and print the form and mail it to the Centre with your cheque.
