President’s Message
The past year has been both a very exciting and challenging time at the Community
Centre as we work to implement the recommendations flowing from the Strategic
Plan we completed in the Spring 2015. A key recommendation was to develop a more
robust community engagement program to better serve the needs of all segments of
the community by working more effectively with the many other community resources
in Kitsilano. Jennifer Taylor was hired by the Association as a full-time Community Engagement
Coordinator to assist the Board of Directors with this important objective, and she has worked
tirelessly to develop contacts and working relationships with groups throughout the community. Her
work will continue for a second year in September as we respond to identified needs and gaps in
services.
We have also, over the summer, completely redesigned and upgraded our website, kitscc.com. We
wanted to greatly simplify access to information about our programs and make it possible for you
to register for programs directly from our site. Our goal is to have our website function as an online
hub from which you will be able to connect to the wide range of programs and services throughout
Kitsilano. We hope you will find it is a useful resource.
We are committed to continually improving our services and programs, and welcome your ideas and
suggestions. On behalf of the KCC staff and Association Board of Directors, I would like to thank you
for your support and participation in our many programs and services.
Welcome to Fall!

respond to daily for mealtime, play time,
getting outside, feelings, manners and
animals. For more information about baby
