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.
We have much to keep you warm and active this winter in our Winter 2024 brochure. Thank you to our Park Board programmers for searching out new activities for the Douglas Park community each season. Winter 2025’s new programs include: Post-Natal Mom & Baby Yoga; Youth Cooking Group and the Heatlhspan Fitness.
The annual general meeting of DPCA was held on November 19th at which time directors were elected and auditors were appointed for the 2024/25 fiscal year. You can find our annual report on our website at douglasparkcc.org.
The board is now focusing on implementing our new three year strategic plan which was created last year to identify priorities for how to best continue DPCA’s work and carry out the following vision and mission of DPCA:
DPCA Vision: A hub where all our diverse community members are physically active and socially engaged at Douglas Park and its satellite centres.
DPCA Mission: To provide quality facilities and programming to meet the diverse needs of the Douglas Park community.
The two of the strategic goals included in the plan are to improve our inclusiveness and to enhance Douglas Park Community Centre as a third space. Generally speaking, a third space is a place where people meet, on a voluntary and casual basis, for easy and friendly conversation – a home away from home. Input from community members in our 2022 Needs Assessment was used to help identify these goals.
Thank you to all the DPCA volunteers, board members, DPCA and Vancouver Park Board staff, and the Vancouver Park Board.
Christine Coleman
President
