Strathcona Community Centre

About

The Strathcona Community Centre is located in one of Vancouver's oldest neighbourhoods. We have been serving the community for over 40 years.

Story

The Strathcona Community Centre Association (SCCA) partners with the Vancouver Board of Parks and Recreation to deliver programs and services at the Strathcona Community Centre.

Since its inception in 1972, the SCCA is lead by a volunteer board of directors and is both a provincially registered society and a federally registered charity.

Located in Chinatown and as part of the Downtown Eastside, Strathcona is one of Vancouver's oldest neighbourhoods but also one of Canada's poorest. Often described as "inner-city", the area deals with issues such as a diverse socio-economic and multicultural population, poverty, crime, additions, homelessness, affordable housing, unemployment and gentrification.

In the midst of this, the community centre delivers a multitude of programs and services for all ages, including recreation and physical activities, licensed childcare, youth leadership, food security, social, educational and cultural programs.

A large part of Strathcona's continued success is due to financial support from foundations, grants, donations and fundraising. Examples of programs include arts and crafts; dance; drama; performing arts; sports; physical activity; licensed out-of-school care; licensed preschool; summer daycamps for children; Christmas break and spring break programs for school-aged children; youth leadership; youth sports teams; seniors tai chi, dance, karaoke, etc; parent and tot drop-in; Food Security programs such as the free breakfast program and backpack program for school-aged kids and their families; and family support programs such as Community Action Program for Children and Nobody's Perfect Parenting Program.

A good center, kid friendly. Breakfast program before school starts is welcomed and appreciated. Simple and basic, just what each child needs. Filling the gap on hunger, proper nutrition is the key to success. I would recommend this centre to anyone

Not a bad spot to lift weights, take a small course in kung fu or attend church with a potluck meal on Sundays. Gardens surround the place. Meetings can be held by arrangement. Public bathrooms

A leisure area, a gym, a workout gym, and a TV. Great place to meet up but theres a lot of homeless people and programs occupying the area usually
