East Elgin Community Complex Testimonials
“The facility itself was a perfect venue for holding our events, which ranged from business meetings attended by about 350 delegates, to a worship service to ordain/commission new ministers, with an attendance of about 1,100. However, it was the staff and management of the Complex that helped make this event the success it was. Right from the first moment we made contact to inquire about the possibility of holding our event there, to the last moment when we had everything cleaned up and could finally go home, everyone we dealt with was knowledgeable, professional and pleasant.”

“My co-op placement at EECC was great. The things I learned there opened many doors for me on both a personal and career oriented level. The management team always encouraged me to be creative and ensured I was getting valuable experience out of my projects. I worked on really fun and interesting events such as Canada Day, a horseshoe tournament and a walking program. As well, I came out with an increased understanding of event promotion, customer service and the importance of research and industry knowledge. Thank you EECC for an unforgettable co-op placement.”
