President’s Message – Winter 2024

Dear patrons,

As we transition to our winter programming, the West Point Grey Community Centre Association (WPGCCA) is pleased that this is the 54th year that we have been jointly operating the West Point Grey Community Centre with the Vancouver Board of Parks and Recreation since 1972. In 2018, we signed a new Joint Operating Agreement to strengthen our relationship. WPGCCA Board appreciates all of our wonderful hardworking community centre staff, including our new Community Recreation Supervisor, Eric Bagnall.

Here are a few of our new program highlights:

Preschool & Children

• “Little Learners” and “Rally Stars” – Beginner Tennis Lessons for Kids – Your little ones will learn the fundamentals of tennis using modified equipment such as smaller rackets.
• Ivy’s Breakfast Club – Basketball Player Development – Kids will focus on footwork, ball handling, shooting, passing, and defense in a thrilling and fun-filled environment.
• Spring Break – Camps with Bricks 4 Kidz, Steam 4 Kids, DRIVE Basketball, Fire & Flower Empowerment, Sportball, Wize Computing Academy, and Film Camp In A Box.
