After what can only be described as an epic summer in Vancouver — sunshine, summer camps, neighbourhood events, and a little thing called the World Cup bringing soccer energy to the city — we are delighted to share the programs and events coming up this fall at FCCC. This summer, the centre was buzzing. Our three summer camps brought children and youth through the doors every day, filling the building with exactly the kind of joyful chaos that makes a community centre feel alive. We were also thrilled to host our soccer celebration event and our annual Summer Kick-Off event. Thank you to everyone who joined us, volunteered, participated, and helped make the summer such a success. We are especially excited that our kitchen renovation is completed. The updated space will be outfitted for cooking lessons, food-based programs, and community gatherings centred around preparing and sharing food. We cannot wait to see this renewed kitchen become another place where neighbours can learn, connect, and build community together. Keep an eye out for new kitchen programs coming soon! Fall also brings back some favourite False Creek traditions. Our Halloween Howl event returns, and we cannot wait to see the costumes, creativity, and spooktacular surprises. It is always one of the highlights of the season and definitely not one to miss. Our Parent and Tot Gym will also reopen in September, and we look forward to welcoming back parents, caregivers, and little ones. Looking ahead to December, Santa will be stopping by for our Breakfast with Santa event on December 12, followed by our Winter Solstice celebrations on December 21. Our Seniors Social events continue on the second Wednesday of every month. A very special thank you goes to our Youth Leadership team for volunteering with these events over the summer. It has been wonderful to see different generations connecting in such a meaningful way. This fall, we are also excited to introduce Chair Yoga as a new senior’s program, along with the return of Senior’s Creative Dance, hosted by Ballet BC. On May 13, we held our Annual General Meeting and elected new board members. I am very pleased to welcome Shahrouz Shoghian and Queenta Petit to the False Creek Community Association Board of Directors. Their professional guidance and commitment, together with the dedication of our returning board and committee members, staff, volunteers, and Vancouver Park Board partners, help us continue working toward our vision of a happy, healthy, and connected community. Many of us live, work, play, and raise our families in the False Creek and Fairview neighbourhoods. We are grateful for this place, proud to call it home, and excited for another season of community, connection, and care at False Creek Community Centre. Warmly, Jelena Brcic President, False Creek Community Association
