HOW TO FIND US

K

G

Kensington Community Centre is nestled in beautiful Kensington Park (6.39 hectares) and located at Knight Street and East 37th Avenue.

I would first like to thank all our hard working Board members who are not returning to the board this year. Volunteering for our community is rewarding but hard work and we appreciate all of your time. For us returning Board members we are lucky to be joined by many enthusiastic new members and we are

all working hard to make our Community Centre available to everyone.

We are excited that the Capital Plan 2012-2014 passed in the November election. This includes funding for the replacement of the Community Hall. The construction will be taking place over the next 2-3 years. There will be plenty of opportunities for you to see what is happening and if you wish to get involved in this project or any of our committees then call us at 604.718.5863 or email the Association at [email protected].

While you look through the brochure if you can’t find the program you are looking for then please call us. What isn’t offered today with planning, can be offered in the future. You can call our friendly, competent staff at 604.718.5863 or, email the Association at [email protected].

Sincerely yours,

Mary Sutherland,President KCCA
