President’s Message

     80 years old — and just getting started!
     Welcome to our Winter 2023 season.

     The Kerrisdale Community Centre Society will be 80 years old in January! We will be holding special events throughout
     the year to celebrate our longstanding presence in the community. Please watch for notifications in the brochure as
     well as on our social media platforms.

     Our first event will be on Sunday January 8th
     from 11am-1pm in the gymnasium. There will
     be games for all ages, a bouncy castle for the
     kids and, most importantly—cake! Please mark
     this event on your calendar.

     We are proud to offer the community a wide
     range of programs, from physical activities
     to creative pursuits. I am sure you will find
     something of interest in this brochure.

     I hope to see you at the Centre in 2023.

     Kerrisdale Community Centre Society

Calling for Board Member Nominations
It’s that time of year when the Kerrisdale Community Centre Society’s Nominating Committee begins recruiting potential board
members for the next term.

In fact, the committee has recommended a slate of candidates to fill vacant board seats every year since the society’s early days
in the 1940s. And the board of directors has long overseen the programming, events and activities at the Kerrisdale Community
Centre. Today, the board works alongside the Vancouver Board of Parks and Recreation in managing the centre’s programming.

With nine board positions opening up in 2023, the Nominating Committee plans to
recruit a diverse set of applicants. As such, committee members will soon be approaching
a variety of community groups, including the Musqueam First Nation, to make sure the

“If you’re interested in giving back to your community at Kerrisdale, we’d love to hear from you,” says Aziz. “Serving on a non-
profit board of directors will not just allow you to help Kerrisdale in delivering arts and recreations activities, but you’ll also likely
expand your skill set while meeting new people.”

How to apply: Complete an application form and accompanying material at least 10 days prior to the Annual General Meeting on
February 15, 2023. For more information visit www.kerrisdalecc.com
