Looking Ahead to the 2009-10 Season

As the summer weather is now upon us, the ice has been removed from the club and the VCC is now closed for the season.

As we prepare for the 2009-2010 season, club’s calendar of events will be a little different than normal due to the Olympic and Paralympic Winter Games that will unfold in our backyard… in the Vancouver Olympic / Paralympic Centre.

New Legacy Levy

During the 2009 AGM, members voted in favour of a Board of Directors’ recommendation to establish a legacy fund for the purpose of fund-raising for the required furniture, fixtures and equipment (FF&E) that will be needed for the new facility.

The first step of fund-raising begins in the 2009-2010 season with a $35 per member legacy levy.

Business Plan Principles

To help the club prepare for the move to our new facility, the VCC Board of Directors undertook the task of creating a plan for the Legacy Facility during the past season.

To answer questions such as: Will current leagues move from this facility into the new one? How will the VCC change as part of a larger Community Centre? What services will the club offer in its new home? How will we fill 8 sheets of curling ice? and more, the Business Plan Principles were created. The principles provide the road map for the VCC as we look towards September 2011, which is when the club is expected to have a new home – a state-of-the-art eight-sheet curling facility in the retro-fitted Vancouver Olympic/Paralympic Centre.

These principles represent the culmination of a year’s worth of meetings, consultations, draft reports, revised reports and more consultations... and they were approved by the membership at the 2009 AGM.
