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!
