How You Can Help Your Community

Proposed uses for GPCA funding include:

• Purchasing a new snowblower for the rink in Kingsmere Park.
• Creating an “emergency fund” for operating the rink.  City funding for local rinks is annually at risk of being cut at budget time.
• Beautification of the area (ie: planting trees/shrubs/planters)
• Updating playstructures and/or sports fields in the park.
• Summer and winter fun days.
• Cultural events: music/arts/Yuk Yuk’s in the park.
• Mural project at Kingsmere Park done by neighbourhood kids/families.
• All other ideas welcome, let us know by posting your thoughts on the website suggestion box or print and list them on our Community Survey.

1. Become a member - Membership is just $5 per household (you may donate more if you wish!).  Please print and fill out the Membership survey and deliver it with your $5 to one of the board members.
2. Participate in GPCA events - there is strength in numbers!  The more people that attend and participate in GPCA events and activities the better.  This includes everything from the AGM, children’s playgroup, the hockey rink, fundraisers, to fighting variances to zoning bylaws.
3. Volunteer -It can be anything from donating an afternoon of your time for an event, handing out flyers, to joining or leading a committee on an issue that is important to you.  As little or as much time you can offer, every bit helps build a better community for all of us.  Let us know if there is a particular area of volunteering that interests you, or a specific area of expertise you can offer (computer skills, carpentry, etc.).
4. Tell your Neighbours - Help us spread the word to get as many people involved in our community as we can!
