Not many Vancouverites are aware but Vancouver is one of few municipalities that offer recreation programming via partnerships with volunteer-driven not-for-profit societies.

Led by an elected volunteer Board of Directors, the Trout Lake Community Centre Association (TLCCA) has been working behind the scenes here since 1956 to ensure offerings are tailored to local need.

Our mission is to provide accessible and inclusive social, cultural, recreational and educational opportunities that strengthen individual, family and community wellbeing.

We are currently seeking community members to join our amazingly creative and committed Board and committees*. All skills are welcome! Nice-to-haves would include expertise in areas such as accounting/finance, fundraising, human resources, non-profit law, policy development, risk management, and strategy management.

Join us and learn, connect, and contribute to the good in this neighbourhood!
