Celebrating 70 years 

Thanks to your patronage, our great staff, dedicated 

volunteers and Society directors, Kerrisdale is arguably 

the busiest community centre in Vancouver. We have over 

14,000 members, had more than 550,000 visits, and offer 

over 400 programs every season to newborns, centenarians 

and everyone in between. We’re more than a recreation 

centre because of the variety of programs in arts, education, 

health and wellness, sports, martial arts, fitness, and special 

events. Our Society-run Fitness Room attracted over 85,000 users with our 

drop-in rate of $3.00--half the cost of Park Board-run facilities--and we still 

have a surplus. All our earnings go back to you in subsidies, new equipment, 

and facility improvement. One example: we subsidize hot lunches six days a 

week to an average of 110 fixed-income seniors and provide them a chance 

to socialize. 

Kerrisdale Community Centre Society and Park Board have jointly run our 

Community Centre since the 1940’s. However, the Park Board is determined 

to implement a nonnegotiable plan to gut our Joint Operating Agreement, 

grab all our revenues to cover Park Board’s chronic budget deficit in the 

guise of equity, and make one-size-fits-all community centres. Many of 

Kerrisdale’s unique programs, facility improvements, and subsidies will 

disappear. Please voice your outrage to Park Board commissioners. Stay 

tuned for developments. 

Respectfully, 

Oscar Bisnar, Kerrisdale Community Centre Society President 

Kerrisdale Community Centre Society Board of Directors

Pilates 

Based on the exercise philosophy 

developed by Joseph Pilates in the 

early twentieth century, Pilates will 

improve strength, alignment, balance, 

coordination, circulation, flexibility and 

posture. Working the mind and body 

together, Pilates uses subtle, slow and 

controlled movements to achieve rapid 

and long-lasting results. Emphasis is 

placed on using your core, the girdle 

like cylinder that surrounds your waist 

that flattens the tummy and supports 

the back. You will experience a full body 

workout with no impact on the joints as 

you strengthen and stretch through each 

exercise. A powerfully different workout 

that will change the way you use your 

body. Drop-in $15 (space permitting).
