About Us



The West Richmond Community Centre is jointly operated by the West Richmond Community Association and the City of Richmond.

The City of Richmond provides Staff to program, maintain, coordinate facility rentals, racquetball courts etc. and be ultimately responsible for the Community Centre.

The Community Association is made up of a volunteer Board of Directors that give direction to the staff on what types of programs the community wants. All instructors and child care staff are employees or contractors of the Association.
