President’s MessageIn the past few months it has been hectic for the staff in the Community

Centre. One significant change is the realignment of the front desk. The program front desk downstairs is now combined with the pool and fitness centre front desk on the main floor. Every measure has been taken to minimize the impact on the patrons. We continue to have staff turnover and shortage that affect the workload of the programming staff, in particular in the support of the senior programs. If you have any concerns or suggestions please feel free to share with the Centre staff and our board members. You can easily contact us by emailing to [email protected].

We had a successful Youth Celebrate Canada Day and many young kids participated in this special event. The Association continues to put in more resources to drive the youth programs. We have beefed up our Scholarship program which has run for many years. In the coming year we will have a partnership with the Vancouver School Board in the More Sports program to support youth sports after school.

As we start the fall programs I would like to draw your attention to the Annual General Meeting (AGM) to be held on November 16 at around noon time. As a program participant you are automatically a member of the Association (unless you decline the membership), I urge you to come to the AGM to find out what we have done in the past and what we plan to do in the future. The Association is for the community. We, the board members, are all volunteers. We serve the Association working hard to bring the best possible programs that fit the needs of our community members. There will be a nomination process that goes into action about 6 weeks before the AGM and I sincerely invite you to participate.

You may be aware of that we have a long running Chinese senior social program. This social program has served over 1700 patrons in the past 23 years. This year we were able to secure some funding from the Federal government. On July 8th, we hosted a visit from the Honourable Minister Tassi who is responsible for the social development of Canada’s aging population. There has been a lot of effort spent in finding ways to support our aging population by all three levels of government. The Association is also in a position to adjust our programs where needed and find support from agencies and organizations as appropriate. I welcome your input in this area.

I look forward to seeing you at the AGM. Sincerely,Albert Lee, Renfrew Park Community Association President

...meet our staff!Alice Shiu, Preschool Supervisor:

I am certified as an Early Childhood educator, Special Needs Educator and an Infant/Toddler Educator. I have been working in the Early Childhood field for over twenty-two years and have enjoyed every minute of it.

I was born and raised in Vancouver and attended elementary and secondary school in East Vancouver. I have a younger brother named David and a very adorable nephew named Edwin. I have been living in North Burnaby area for the past 25 years.

I look forward to working with your children and hope that this year brings even more interesting adventures.Michelle Lui, Preschool Assistant:

I studied Early Childhood Education at Vancouver Career College and graduated in 2012. Prior to studying ECE, I studied music for three years at Vancouver Community College and Capilano University which focused on Vocal Jazz. I then decided to switch paths to study ECE because of my passion with children.

I am looking forward to meeting each and every one of you. Please do not hesitate to approach me anytime. I am truly blessed to have this opportunity to meet and work with your children and families.

Shu Ying Huang, Preschool Assistant:I have received my ECE license, First Aid and food Safe certificate. I can

read and speak English, Cantonese and Mandarin.I always find working with children very rewarding and heartwarming.

I love and enjoy spending time with them. I’m looking forward to meeting the new children and parents this year.Jane Yee, Preschool Assistant:

I am a proud mother of three. I have been living in this community for 15 years and I’ve been working as an assistant teacher for preschool program in this community centre since 2009.

I enjoy working with children, especially love singing, dancing, doing arts and crafts with them. I do a lot of volunteer work in elementary schools and in little league baseball which gives me a lot of working experience with children.

I like travelling, collecting stamps, and souvenirs from different cities in my spare time.

Nordic Pole Walking 19+yrsVancouver OASISDesigned to introduce Nordic pole walking to individuals with osteoarthritis (OA) as a strategy to maintain or increase activity. Benefits of pole walking may include: better posture, increased muscle activation compared to walking without poles, and taking stress off the joint to be able to walk more comfortably. Activities such as stretching, deep breathing, and relaxation are included. These activities promote body awareness and give individuals with OA strategies for addressing tension and stress in their own body so that they can keep active. Techniques are taught at a basic level with a focus on take-home activities that can be used immediately. Poles are provided for use during the class. Register in advance. Contact Vancouver Coastal Health at 604-875-4544 for more details.
