**Tri-County Complex Inc.** is a Canadian nonprofit organization operating a community sports facility in Fredericton Junction, New Brunswick. Founded through grassroots efforts beginning in 1990, the organization was established to provide recreational opportunities for rural communities across three counties[1][2].  

### History  
The initiative originated from a local physician's vision to create a regional sports complex, uniting seven communities with a combined population of 3,700. Initial fundraising efforts spanned 15 years, generating $100,000, followed by an additional $1 million raised over three years through local campaigns[1]. The organization emphasizes community collaboration, with its development credited to persistent volunteer efforts and a shared goal of fostering regional unity through sports[1][3].  

### Programs and Operations  
The complex hosts an outdoor hockey program that prioritizes accessibility, offering low registration fees and equipment loans to ensure no child is excluded. This program expanded to include 13 teams and 150 participants within three years of opening[1]. Additionally, the organization operates the **Tri-County Treasure Chest**, a weekly fundraising draw where half the proceeds are awarded to a member holding the randomly selected ticket[5].  

### Funding and Governance  
As a registered charity (Business Registration Number **129358008RR0001**), Tri-County Complex Inc. relies on local fundraising, grants, and initiatives like the Treasure Chest to sustain operations[2][4]. Its governance model reflects a community-driven approach, with decision-making emphasizing collective effort and perseverance[1].
