Supporting Volunteer Community Sport & Recreation
Incorporated in 1998 as a non-profit society, the North Vancouver Community Sport & Recreation Council provides a common voice for sport and recreation in North Vancouver. This community-based group fosters, supports and promotes these activities by:
- Acting as a forum for community groups to identify issues and find mutually beneficial solutions
- Providing advice on policy and planning issues regarding sport to the North Vancouver Recreation Commission, Council for the City of North Vancouver, and Council for the District of North Vancouver
- Promoting and assisting with the development of volunteer leadership
- Assisting community groups in fund-raising initiatives for sport and recreation
- Helping organize major recreation and sports events that benefit North Vancouver residents.
The Sport Council provides ongoing advice and feedback to the Recreation Commission on special projects, new facilities and the maintenance, use and enhancement of existing facilities.
