Mount Pleasant Community Centre Association

President's Message

Welcome to ‘the M’

It has been almost two years since the Mount Pleasant Community Centre (‘the M’) opened along with the ‘3 Corners’ daycare and attendance continues to be beyond expectation. Thank you for your continuing support. By the time you read this --- Vancouver will have a new group of Park Board Commissioners elected on November 19th and a new group of MPCCA Board Directors elected on November 22nd. The central task of these community volunteers will be to ensure that the respectful and trusting relationship embodied in the Joint Operating Agreement (JOA) signed way back on April 10th, 1979 is updated, renewed and implemented.

Work continues on the redevelopment of Mount Pleasant Park ( the site of the old community centre on 16th east of Simon Fraser Elementary ) which is now expected to be completed in early 2012. A newly established MPCCA Park Committee is beginning a ‘park inventory’ and that process will better ensure that the existing parks will continue to serve the current and future needs of the community. Do you have any suggestions ?? for improvements and opportunities for linear parks, back alleys, ‘parkettes’ or street-ends ?? Our commitment is to serve your recreation, community and child-care needs in partnership with the Vancouver Park Board. We take this responsibility very seriously and therefore if you have any comments or suggestions, please do not hesitate to contact Harvey, our Community Recreation Supervisor, any of his staff team or any of the members of the MPCCA Board of Directors.
