“Today my toddler went missing at The Bold Center and I would like to again, extend a huge thank you to all the staff working today. The 5 or 10 minutes this morning that my little adventurous son went missing was honestly the worst feeling I have ever experienced, especially having thoughts in the back of my head about the attempted kid napping attempts in town. Amanda Cheyne from Parent Link was the first staff member I remember seeing and was extremely quick to respond, having multiple staff looking for him in a matter of seconds. I can not express how thankful and safe I felt after he was found. I believe the staff member that found him in the elevator was a gentleman named Gerald. So please thank them again for me. My family has a whole new respect and appreciation for The Bold Center and the amazing staff that work there. From the bottom of my heart, Thank you.”

“Over the past 6 months I have utilized your facility to train for the Canadian Death Race and Iron Horse Ultra 100Km events. During this time I have always been greeted/given farewell by name, given words of encouragement, and treated to some of the highest levels of customer service I have known. This level of service even continued, over the past 2 months, when the cost to use the track was absolutely nothing. Having visited a number of field-houses throughout the province, over this time-frame, I can honestly say that the Bold Center is second-to-none”

“I wish to take this opportunity to formally show my appreciation for your staff at the Bold Center. With your support I have achieved a loss of over 70lbs, a 10 point reduction in BMI, 16% reduction in Body Fat and, most importantly, a huge increase in my mental and physiological well-being. Your team was an integral part of this first achievement. With the spring months approaching quickly, I will soon be leaving the sheltered track to focus on trail training but will keep those days at the Bold Center close to my heart.”
