COMMUNITY ASSOCIATION
President’s Message
“Everything is Awesome” at ‘the M’.
The summer is winding down and preparation for the Fall are underway AND hopefully the jingle and lyrics from Tegan & Sara’s
theme song from the Lego Movie – that you attended at the Mount Pleasant Festival Movie evening in July have subsided.
It is intent of this brochure to offer you a selection of programs and events to consider for this Fall. And do not hesitate to also
consider the offerings of the other 24 community centres that comprise the Park Board ‘system’.
Now back to ‘Everything is Awesome” …
Everything is cool when you're part of a team
Everything is awesome, when we're living our dream
Everything is better when we stick together.
Side by side, you and I gonna win forever, let's party.
Upon reflection, Tegan & Sara were on to something – the open lines of the song ‘Everything is Awesome’ pretty much
summarizes the ‘spirit’ of the long-time relationship between the various Community Centre Associations and the City of
Vancouver and the Park Board.
As I write this message ( July 9th ), meetings toward a new Joint Operating Agreement are continuing towards an arrangement
that will hopefully lead to a continued and renewed sustainable agreement for the future. In the meantime, I am pleased that
‘business is as usual’ at Mount Pleasant.
I remind you that since 1966, the Mount Pleasant Community Centre Association has jointly operated the Centre along with the
Park Board and we are always looking for engaged and interested neighbours willing to giving back by sitting on the Board.
Our AGM is scheduled for Tuesday, October 21st at 7 PM and if you would like to learn more, please contact Wes Uyeyama, our
Supervisor of Recreation Services or myself.
Again, do not hesitate to contact any of the staff or Board at #1, if you have any comments, suggestions or questions, as we try
to maintain ‘awesome’.

Special emphasis will be
placed on the use of the
Equitas program, Play It
Fair! which is an innovative
program implemented in
our daycamps and after
school care program
which increases children
aged 6-12 understanding
of human rights, respect
for diversity and peaceful
conflict resolution. The
Play It Fair! Toolkit contains
interactive age appropriate
activities and games that
provide a starting point for
children to discuss issues
in their lives and work
together to find ways to
promote inclusion, respect,
fairness, acceptance and
cooperation. This unique
approach succeeds because
the children are having
so much fun that they
don’t even realize they are
learning!

This is a great, fun way to intoduce your child
to artmaking without tears. Introduces them to
peeling stickers, coloring with markers, stamping
with different stamps and colored inks, and most
delightfully - fingerpainting with hands and brushes,
using only non-toxic, water soluble materials. At the
end of the session, each child usually has a scrapbook
(featuring a photo of the tot on the cover), filled
with his/her art made in the classes. We build in time
to play with toys during the last 10 minutes, so the
adults can glue the artwork into the scrapbooks
after each session, (sometimes with the help of the
child.) Each child must have an adult present at the
session (Grandparents, Moms & Dads, nannies are all
welcome. All materials provided
