A Council-appointed committee of residents, who serve on the Board for two-year terms, operates Ashburn Community Centre. The Board oversees its local community programming. Built by William Pearson in 1861, each wall of the Centennial Community Centre is constructed in a different style using stones of various sizes. After operating as Ashburn School for 105 years, the building was closed in 1966 and sold to the Township of Whitby for two dollars. In 1967, the school was transformed into the present-day community centre, and a kitchen was added to the west side. The Town of Whitby Parks and Recreation Department currently operates the centre, which was designated a historic building in 1983. | |||||||

From 1876 to 1920 the current Brooklin Community Centre served as the Bible Christian Church. In 1920, the church was converted into the Township Hall, where municipal offices operated for 46 years. In 1966, the building was named the Brooklin Community Centre. The centre has an upper hall and lower hall for dances or meetings, two kitchens, an elevator and parking. | |||||||
