ABOUT THE ROUNDHOUSE

WHERE WE AREThe Roundhouse is located at the corner of Davie & Pacifi c • The Yaletown-Roundhouse Canada Line Station is 100 feet from us, and Buses C21 & C23 stop within feet of the Roundhouse. •

GETTING TO THE ROUNDHOUSEWalking from Granville Street, head east fi ve blocks down Davie • Underground pay parking is avail-able (access off Drake) for $2/hour; $12 max/7am-6pm weekends and holidays and $3/6-11pm everyday. The underground parking closes at 11pm but shows that run later than 11pm will have access through the Roundhouse.

ROUNDHOUSE VISION & MISSIONIn September of 1996 the Roundhouse Advisory Committee, composed of neighbourhood repre-sentatives, heritage supporters, members of the arts community and Park Board staff , undertook a retreat to work through a vision for the Roundhouse. The following is the result of those discussions:The overall mission is to celebrate diversity... of people, values, ideas and activities.This mission is made up of three key elements:

THE ROUNDHOUSE AS PROJECTAll of us who work or play or socialize at the Roundhouse will be active participants in an evolving project to fi nd new and creative ways to integrate the arts, community, culture and sports.

THE ROUNDHOUSE AS OASISThe Roundhouse is located in the centre of one of the largest urban experiments in history, trans-forming a few hundred acres of mostly vacant lots into one of North America’s densest and most diverse urban sites. The Roundhouse will be an oasis in the centre of this dynamic mix, enabling people to use their creativity and energy (at whatever level) to rejuvenate themselves and to be better equipped to face a blizzard of challenges and opportunities around them.

THE ROUNDHOUSE AS CONNECTIONThe Roundhouse exists to identify and serve the needs of widely divergent communities. To do this the Roundhouse must reach out to the places and situations where those communities feel comfortable. These relationships will grow into Roundhouse programs through sponsorships, part-nerships, and our own productions.

The Roundhouse Community Arts & Recreation Centre is jointly operated by the Vancouver Board of Parks & Recreation and the Roundhouse Community Arts and Recreation Society.

We are proud to have been voted as the Best Community Centre for a fourth year in the Georgia Straight's Best of Vancouver.Celebrate the 128th anniversary of CPR Engine 374’s arrival in Vancouver. Watch her steam up and hear the whistle blow on the Turntable Plaza while you enjoy free birthday cake and more.The Express Your Voice Choir (part of the Arts and Health Project) is embarking on its final year. They will conclude this year by recording songs they have created since 2011 and will perform them on June 3 during Seniors Week 2015. Many congratulations to our choir master DB Boyko, all choir members, the Arts and Health team, and programmers Marie Lopes and Diana VanderVeen for their joint efforts. Be sure to pick up the CD.This season we will be hosting our first Art Mart—an outside art demonstration and market showcasing a variety of local artists. The Art Mart will be held July 4 on the Turntable Plaza.
