The McCreary Recreation Commission was formed in 1968 by the Village of McCreary and the Rural Municipality of McCreary. The role of this committee was: To operate, supervise, and control all Recreation Groups and Facilities in the community, and to encourage, initiate and supervise public recreation programs in the community.

Whether it was for physical recreation, social recreation, artistic or group recreation, intellectual or audience enjoyment, the commission was to continually strive to meet the recreational needs of the community.
