Renfrew Park Community Association - President’s MessagePlease take the time to browse through our Winter brochure. You can register on line or in person for the programs and activities offered at Renfrew Community Centre.

I invite you to attend our Renfrew Park Community Association’s (RPCA) 2017 Annual General Meeting (AGM). The AGM will be held on Saturday, November 18 at 12 noon. The meeting will take place at Renfrew Community Centre. The agenda items will include voting on changes to our bylaws, election of new board members, providing year-end financial statements and drawing for prizes. Lunch will also be provided at the conclusion of the meeting.

Our RPCA Board of Directors has been very busy negotiating a new Joint Operating Agreement (JOA) with the Vancouver Board of Parks and Recreation. Concurrently, the directors have had to revise our bylaws to meet the requirements of the New Societies Act of British Columbia. I am very optimistic that we will have a new JOA agreement before year end.

If you would like to volunteer for the RPCA board of directors, be a part of our Program Committee or just volunteer at Renfrew Community Centre, please talk to one of our fantastic staff at the centre for more information. Have a great Winter season!

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.

Casserole leftovers sometimes taste even better than straight out of the oven casseroles because the flavors have had time to meld together.
