President’s MessageI hope that you enjoyed this very hot summer. It is hard to believe that

Fall is here. Our Renfrew Park Community Centre staff has been busy putting together the Fall 2018 programs for our Renfrew Community. I invite you to look through the revamped brochure and register for any of the programs or activities.

The Renfrew Park Community Association (RPCA) extends an invitation to all people in our community to join us for our Annual General Meeting – Saturday November 17, 2018 - 12noon to 2pm. This will be the second time we will be holding our meeting on a weekend. The RPCA will be addressing some our bylaws, brought on by the new Societies Act. We will also be providing audit information for the 2018 fiscal year, electing new board members and addressing the new Joint Operating Agreement (JOA) between the Parks and Recreation board and all Community Associations. Our kitchen renovation plans have been delayed once again. This is due to the high cost of the project.

The RPCA is looking to formulate a plan to address this issue in the Fall.The RPCA is now in process of formulating a plan to renew/renovate our entire Community Centre. We are in the very early stages of planning and strategizing. If you have any thoughts or ideas, please bring them to our Annual General meeting. If you want to become a RPCA board member, please contact the centre for more information. See you at the Annual General Meeting in November.Sincerely,
