With the operations at the Centre growing and developing, Community Recreation Services will transition to a Community Board Operation. This transition is in keeping with Halifax Regional Municipality’s Community Facility Master Plan approved by Regional Council in June 2008. The Centre will operate under the Facility Lease Agreement Program but will remain an HRM asset. HRM will provide support such as Board development and training, core funding and capital resources. Fire Station 45 and its operations will remain under the management of HRM Fire Services and will not be affected by the transition of the Community Centre. The Municipality acknowledges there are water issues at the facility and will maintain responsibility for the water until those issues are satisfactorily resolved.
What is the opportunity? To be on a Steering Committee with HRM Community Development staff.
Why? To work together with HRM staff to recruit and select a Volunteer Management Board to manage the operations of the Gordon R. Snow Community Centre (GRSCC) in Fall River.
Time Commitment? Approximately one evening meeting per week for 2 hours for 7 weeks from mid-March to the end of April, 2010.
Who? HRM is seeking 3 citizens with community knowledge who live in the portion of District 2 paying the area rate for the capital cost of the GRSCC with the following qualifications:
➢ Involved in various aspects of volunteer service
➢ Human resources knowledge
➢ Leadership skills
➢ Committed to the benefits of recreation
How to apply? If you are interested in this volunteer opportunity, please contact Samantha Butler for an application form. Application deadline is Friday, February 19, 2010 at 4:30pm. Please note that if you plan to apply to be a future Management Board member or Staff person of the GRSCC, this Steering Committee opportunity would be a conflict of interest.
