Renfrew Park Community Association - President’s Message

Happy New Year!

I invite you to look through our 2017 brochure and register for any of the upcoming programs, activities and events. Thank you to the Renfrew Program staff for putting together our first 2017 Renfrew Park Community Centre brochure.

The start of 2017 has been a very busy time for our Renfrew Park Community Associa-tion (RPCA). Our directors are busy with the Joint Operating Agreement negotiations with the Vancouver Park Board (VPB) and the Introduction of the New Societies Act. The Societies Act has been revamped and our RPCA needs to be in compliance by 2018.

RPCA is a non-profit society made up of volunteers who work jointly with VPB to deliver programs, events, and activities. Please contact the centre staff or leave your contact information at [email protected]

September 2016-June 2017Our program develops independence, self-help skills, co-operation and positive social

interactions. We believe that each day is a learning experience for the child. Our daily schedule consists of both structured and non-structured activities, preparing each child to become confident and ready for entry into the elementary school system.

Daily activities include free play where children have a choice of activities (ie. sand and water play, play-dough, dress up, puzzles, manipulatives), arts & crafts, structured group circle time/story time and physical activities (ie. walks in the neighbourhood, walks in the trails and activities in our playground).

We encourage all children to reach their full potential within an environment that provides opportunities for optimal social, emotional, physical and intellectual development.

For children 3-5 years old. Children must be toilet trained and of age during the month they register.
