President’s Message – Fall 2026

Dear patrons,

As we transition to fall 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 (“Park Board”) since 1972. In 2018 we signed a new Joint Operating Agreement (JOA) to strengthen our relationship. The WPGCCA Board appreciates all of our wonderful hardworking community centre staff, and we look forward to working with them on another great season of Community Centre programs, including new and return favourites.
