President’s Message
Come and enjoy the beautiful Aberthau Mansion grounds in bloom during the Spring and Summer seasons. It’s a perfect venue to enjoy our longer and warmer days. The Board of Directors of the West Point Grey Community Association [“WPGCA”] together with staff at the West Point Grey Community Centre [“WPGCC”] are excited to offer you new and innovative programs for the Spring and Summer seasons – some highlights include new Day Camps including Ultimate Frisbee for Youth and Children, new adult classes including Flamenco Dance and Yoga and due to demand Pottery and Wine Nights is being offered three times at our Pottery Studio.
Also brand new this year are the free workshops and demos during the Artists-in-our-Midst event and free workshops, talks, walks and art activities capturing the “Birds of the Shore” theme during the Vancouver Bird Week – all part of our community and arts events that bring together our community at WPGCC.
WPGCC has expanded its social media presence. We are now on Facebook, Twitter and Instagram. These new social media platforms along with our website will improve our ability to showcase our activities and events at WPGCC. Do visit us at our multiple social media platforms and let us know whether or not you like our programming for the Spring and Summer seasons. With events and programs for all ages, we strive to offer something for everyone. Do you have any suggestions or feedback? Innovation is critical to our programming.
WPGCA is a proud sponsor of the Point Grey Fiesta Parade and Carnival. This year, you will see several performers from WPGCC at Trimble Park. Do come out and enjoy this fun family event on June 17th – it will be Point Grey Fiesta’s 31st year!
We welcomed a full house at our AGM on February 1, 2017. Our guest speaker, Dr. Ley of UBC, spoke on the topic of “Housing Bubbles: Canadian and Global Experiences”. Other speakers who spoke briefly and answered Qs and As from the audience included David Eby, MLA – Vancouver Point Grey, City Councillors, Adrian Carr and Tim Stevenson [liaison Councillors for Point Grey], and Park Board Commissioner Catherine Evans. A huge thank you to all speakers for their contributions to an interesting evening!
I want to extend my heartfelt appreciation and gratitude to our dedicated and talented staff, volunteers, committee members, and Board of Directors. Their individual and collective contributions as part of the WPGCC team are countless.
We look forward to serving you again and thank you for your on-going support of WPGCC. You are truly the heart of WPGCC!
Sincerely,
Shamim Shivji
