PROJECT
"This
is
not
just
another
place
operated
by
someone
else
where
you
can
buy
some
of
your
social
amenities
or
a
place
where
you
can
send
your
children
to
get
them
off
the
street.
It
is
more
than
that.
It
is
your
program,"
Civic
Centre
General
Secretary
Don
Forward
said
in
his
r
eport
to
the
Civic
Centre
annual
meeting
last
night.
.
"This
past
year
has
been
one
of
pioneering,
df
pathfinding
and
of
adventure,"
said
the
report.
It,
has
been
a
period
of
foundation
-
laying
and
seed-sowing.
We
enter
the
new
year
with
larger
knowledge
and
priceless
experience.
We
have
many
unsolved
problems
and
our
organization
must
be
flexible
and
resourceful
if
we
are
to
work
cooperatively
with
other
organizations
in
the
cultural,
educational,
and
recreational
fields.
"Since
we
first
opened
our
doors
as
a
Civic
Centre
the
year
has
ben
eventful.
We
were
fortunate
in
taking
over
a
fully
equipped
and
completely
modern
building
with
a
staff
of
janitors,
housekeeper,
office
secretary
and
professional
workers.
We
found
our
storerooms
adequately
stocked
with
supplies,
and
sports
equipment,
and
were
able
to
settle
down
immediately
to
the
task
of
providing
program
and
facilities
for
a
war-wcary
civilian
population
and
for
increasing

"During
the
late
summer
months
and
the
autumn,
we
embarked
on
a
major
program
of
building
renovation
and
alteration.
On
the
whole
the
building
was
ideally
planned
for
our
local
needs,
but
many
changes
were
necessary
to
convert
it
rrom
a
war
service
centre
to
a
civilian
community
centre.
I
will
enumerate
some
of
the
added
facilities
A

A

(wc

"Rup-Rec
of

remains
as
our

program
for
young
and

We
are
increasing
our
efforts
and
scope
with
the
addition
of
another
full-time
worker
in
this
field
and
have
undertaken
an
experimental
program
of
physical
training
with
grades
4,
5,
and
6
of
King
Edward
School.
It
is
our
dream
and
ambition
to
eventually
provide
a
physical
training
program
for
every
school
pupil
in
the
community.
"You
need
only
to
read
our
statistical
report
to
realize
this
is
an
all-embracing
community
project.
No
group
is
barred
from
our
doors.
The
political
parties
use
our
meeting
rooms;
various
unions
and
labor
groups
meet
the
same
evening
as
the
Chamber
of

Little
Theatre

organizations
are
rehearsing
in
one
section
of
the
building
while
a

practices
in
another
section.
The

are

our
walls
and
the
Teen

elects
a
mayor,
a
police
chief,
and
a
city

after
a
lively
campaign.
Many
are
the
groups
that
benefit
directly
and
indirectly
through
our
sports
and
entertainment
facilities.
The
Basketball
Association
raised
$500
through
its
efforts
to
bring
good
sport
and
competition
to
the
