Hello from Douglas Park Community Association!

Welcome to Fall 2026.

Hello from the Douglas Park Community Association!

Douglas Park Community Association (“DPCA”) is grateful to operate on the unceded, ancestral territories of the Musqueam, Squamish and Tsleil Waututh Nations.

DPCA is delighted to welcome Sally Chan as our new Community Recreation Supervisor (“CRS”).

As you may already know, Douglas Park Community Centre is operated jointly by the Vancouver Park Board and DPCA under a joint operating agreement. DPCA’s primary role under the agreement is the development, delivery, and staffing of programming at Douglas Park.

As the CRS, Sally is the management representative of the Park Board at Douglas Park providing official oversight of the facility and supporting DPCA with the delivery of programming and services. DPCA is looking forward to working with Sally and benefiting from her leadership.

Thank you to our programmers for researching and offering, among others, the following new programs for the community this fall: VAFC Grasshoppers Soccer; Mandarin Play Club, Snow-Skin Mochi Mooncake; DataSavvy Kids: Smart Money & Big Decisions; Partner Yoga; Moving with Ease – Balance, Core and Flow; Classical Chinese Dance; and, Laughter Club.

Thank you to all our DPCA volunteers, board members, DPCA and Vancouver Park Board staff, and the Vancouver Park Board.

Wishing you a great autumn.

Christine Coleman
President, Douglas Park Community Association
