President’s Message

                  It is my pleasure to again address the members of the Riley Park Hillcrest Community
                  Association and those people in the community that use the centre, on behalf of the
                  RPHCA Board of Directors. It’s been a very productive year where we have continued to
                  improve the association for the benefit of all those that use the centre. We are the best run
                  community centre in the city and our Directors and Members should be proud.

                  As president of RPHCA I and the Board want to ensure the greatest possible inclusion and
Ken Charko,       interaction of the community, we are committed that the cost should never be a barrier
President RPHCA
                  to participation in our programs. The past 6 months alone, the RPHCA has provided
                  financial subsidies to allow community members participate in programs that we provide
                  otherwise were unable to. We have provided major community scholarships to the 2019
                  graduating class at Sir Charles Tupper and Sir Winston Churchill Secondary School.

                  Moreover, our association strives to be the best community centre in the city that not only
                  gives the community great opportunities but also their employees. We have made our
                  wages competitive and provide optimal support and environment for our employees. Our
Ray Chang,        goal is to create a positive and happy environment at the centre.
Director RPHCA

                  I want to also take this time to highlight Ray Chung who has been a director for the past
                  five years, he grew up in the area, graduated the CPA program at UBC and taught at the
                  local collage. Ray was voted director of the year by the board. Ray is a retired CPA, Father,
                  grandfather and is liked by all involved.

                  Some of the improvements you will notice this year are our new and improved website
                  (www. HillcrestCommunityCentre.com), we are working to optimize and redesign our
                  brochure, add a Facebook page and an Instagram account. I want to highlight some
                  new members Levina and Divya who will be working with us and expanding our social
                  media presence in the community. Our social media will be posting daily features,
                  photos, news and updates. The community will have the option to send questions or
                  concerns to the Facebook page where a response will be given shortly, Follow us @
                  HillcrestCommunityCentre .

                  I am excited and proud of the work we have done here at the RPHCA this year. We have
                  just finished hosting our annual summer festival that had our best attendance ever.
                  The programs committee lead by Ray Chang and his team of directors. Next year the
                  committee is looking at expanding to include an Ethnic food component. A big thank you
                  to all the directors involved and the volunteers who were present and made this event
                  the success it was. Please join us for the following upcoming events and celebrate the joy
                  of the community. The next event you might want to mark in your schedule is Halloween
                  celebration where we will be hosting many tricks and treats for you.

                  We are still negotiating a new JOA (Joint Operations Agreement) with the city. We expect
                  an update in the next couple of months and we will keep you updated on our website.

                  Members and non-members please let me reiterate my availability to you Contact me at

     Riley Park is an inclusive centre licensed by the Provincial Government’s Community Care Facilities
     Licensing Board. Our Preschool has professional, experienced and dedicated staff utilizing a wide
     variety of equipment and program supplies, allowing for quality activities in a safe and secure
     environment. We combine both three and four year old children in our classes. This combination
     provides for a wide range of individual abilities within the preschool classroom, proven to be
     beneficial for all children. Staff plan for the range of individual differences found in any group of
     children.
     Combining the age groups allows for peer tutoring and modeling by the four year olds who
     are able and eager to demonstrate their preschool experience. We believe that a child’s social,
     emotional, cognitive and physical skill can develop to their full potential in a high quality Early
     Childhood Educational setting. We believe that a high quality setting includes:
     • A warm, nurturing and caring staff       • A rich and stimulating environment
     • A predictable yet flexible daily routine • Ongoing communication between a child’s parents & our staff
