SSAC STORIES
A Year of Progress
Over the past 12 months, our leadership has focused on strengthening the organizational framework that supports our daily activities, programs, and community events.
One Year In
This past year was full of learning, collaboration and a shared purpose that makes the Centre so special.
The Rewards of Volunteering for Me
I have been volunteering at the Centre for almost two years, and it has become an important and rewarding part of my life.
A Night of Great Music & Dancing
What a band! What a voice! And didn't we all twist? The September dance with the Ocean Park Wailers was a big hit!
Your Patience is Appreciated
Thank you so much for being kind, patient, and courteous in your interactions with front desk staff and volunteers.
Last Days of Summer
As summer nears its end, we happily remember how busy it has been over the summer months.
