Notice to Parents
Now that the Centre is open later hours,
please remember that you are responsible for
ensuring that your children get home safely and in a timely manner from
their activities at the Centre.
Some children are at the Centre from the time
they get out of school until well after dark. Some of the children are
afraid to go home in the dark.
The Community Centre does not have the
resources to escort children to their homes.
Staff at the Centre have tried calling
parents to come and get their children, and there is often no one at home.
This is not acceptable. The Centre is not a babysitting service. If parents
are not able to pick up their children, they must make arrangements for
someone else to get them home safely.
Please be advised
that children ten years of age and under will now be sent home at 7pm from
the Centre, so that they are not out by themselves late at night.
Please ensure that there is an adult at home at this time.
Any questions or concerns may be directed to
Rita Richard, Program Coordinator, at 943-6897 or email to
nccentre@mts.net

Fall, 2009
- This is the beautiful new mural on
the wall of Norquay Community Centre at 65 Granville Street. It was a joint
project of the Norquay Community Centre, Graffiti Gallery and Tim and Connie
Friesen of AVEC (Arts Vitally Enrich Community) who came all the way from
Wisconsin to work on this mural with our kids. This was the grand finale of
the Art Lives Here! event put on by the community centre. Well done,
everyone! The kids also painted a number of other, smaller pictures that are
equally beautiful. These pictures will soon be gracing the walls of the
community centre. Come on out and take a look!

Norquay Community Centre Fall '09
News
by Valerie Himkowski
Despite the crazy weather this
summer we managed to go on all our field trips with nice warm days for Fun
Mountain and Tinkertown. Over 50 people came on the trip to Tinkertown and
devoured the 75 sandwiches we took with us. Thanks to our Green Team and
City of Winnipeg Rec Workers for their help on these field trips and all
their other hard work over the summer. Activities included games, sports,
crafts, cooking, and fun on our very own mini inflatable bouncers. Speaking
of sports, we held a Field Day event with prizes for everyone who
participated. Every Thursday, a pancake breakfast was held and more than
just our kids ate their way through the stacks of pancakes. Some of you know
who I am talking about!!
 Graffiti Art
Programming was at the centre full time this summer with their ‘Art
Lab’. They ended summer programming with a bang, as we spent a whole week
painting a large 40 ft. mural to hang on the front of the community center.
Thanks to artists Tim and Connie Friesen from Wisconsin and all the
community members who helped paint this wonderful piece of art. The last day
of that week was the unveiling of the mural and a party thrown by GAP and
NCC to appreciate all the art done over the summer.
At left are Connie Friesen, Jerry
Peters, and Tim Friesen hard at work on the mural.
Starting September 8th
all regular fall programming will commence. All
your favorites will be back, hopefully with even more activities and
programs for those who are looking for something different. Our partners
will be back, including, GAP, the “Check it Out/Reading Zone and the City of
Winnipeg “Spin” program. Phone the centre for more information on times and
dates in case of change.
