roundhouse vision & mission
in September of 1996 the Roundhouse Advisory Committee, composed of neighbourhood representatives, heritage supporters, members of the arts community and Park Board staff, undertook a retreat to work through a vision for the Roundhouse. The following is the result of those discussions: The overall mission is to celebrate diversity...of people, values, ideas and activities. This mission is made up of three key elements:
the roundhouse as ProJeCt
All of us who work or play or socialize at the Roundhouse will be active participants in an evolving project to find new and creative ways to integrate the arts, community, culture and sports.
the roundhouse as oasis
The Roundhouse is located in the centre of one of the largest urban experiments in history, transforming a few hundred acres of mostly vacant lots into one of north America’s densest and most diverse urban sites. The Roundhouse will be an oasis in the centre of this dynamic mix, enabling people to use their creativity and energy (at whatever level) to rejuvenate themselves and to be better equipped to face a blizzard of challenges and opportunities around them.
the roundhouse as ConneCtion
hours oF oPeration
The Roundhouse exists to identify and serve the needs of widely divergent communities. To do this the Roundhouse must reach out to the places and situations where those communities feel comfortable. These relationships will grow into Roundhouse programs through sponsorships, partnerships, and our own productions.

messAges
PResident's messAge The Roundhouse Community Arts & Recreation Centre is unique as a community centre. not only are we situated in a beautiful piece of Vancouver's history, but we are part of a city-wide initiative to promote arts and culture. This means we serve not only the local community, but the city as a whole. This is a very important time for the Roundhouse, as we are presently in negotiations with the Park Board to rewrite our Joint Operating Agreement, which will determine how we continue to operate as a centre. We have recently signed an interim Agreement with the Park Board that reflects our previously stated and initial position of making all community centres more equitable and accessible. Please take the time to become educated on this important issue that will affect your community centre for years to come. We at the Roundhouse have put together another season of exciting and innovative programs to keep us healthy and fit and to enhance our enjoyment of Vancouver’s cultural diversity. Some of our programs this season include winter gardening, self-defence classes, and the introduction of more adult language classes. The Roundhouse celebrates many festivals and there will be a number of great events surrounding halloween, Diwali, and Christmas, so be sure to add them to your calendar. Look to join us for Sports Day in Canada where we will be organizing a community participation passport program that will get the community out and active both within and outside of the centre. We are also very proud that the Winter Solstice Lantern Festival is having its 20th anniversary at the Roundhouse—it shouldn't be missed. i want to thank our volunteers, who set an example of constructive contribution to their communities. Do tell your friends to volunteer at the Roundhouse. Volunteering can be fun. Contributing your talent and energy to your community is a tenet of Canadian society, and the opportunity is yours for the asking. if you or your friends are interested, please contact the Roundhouse and you will be directed to our Volunteer Coordinator. The Roundhouse is yours to enjoy, so please ask your friends to also participate. And don't forget about Beerlesque, our annual fundraiser on September 20th, which pairs craftbrewed beer with wild entertainment. This is an event not to be missed, and tickets will be limited. Craig giles President, Roundhouse Community Arts and Recreation Association

To ‘reconcile’ is to weave a stronger and more vibrant social fabric, supported by the unique and diverse strengths of Canadians and their communities. The city of Vancouver is embracing reconciliation through a year-long effort that seeks to heal from the past and build new relationships between Aboriginal peoples and all Vancouverites.

Currently, over 150 volunteers continue to give their time and commitment to the Roundhouse, and these volunteers are as varied as the programs we offer.

Oct 9 – 21 Events throughout the city INFO www.sustenancefestival.ca Greenest City 2020: A Bright Green Future? What does this really mean for Vancouverites? how do we interpret words like “sustainability” and terms like “environmental footprint” or “eating locally” and then move into action? how do we make positive choices more often even though in the moment they may feel insignificant within the grander goal of saving the earth? Can we make the connection that changing the way we live can also contribute to a better living experience with our fellow humans? Whether you are a social-enterprising, organic city farmer or a new Canadian simply wanting to learn more about all of this ‘green talk’, there exist common goals around a Bright Green Future that can also benefit the social health of our society. The 2013 Sustenance Festival, celebrating its 5th year, will include a pop-up incubator of ideas, spurring dialogue about how individuals, communities, and community centres can work together to strengthen our environment and our local food system. Join us and become part of the solution, because together —and only together— will we create a Bright Green Future.
