Annual General Meeting of the Banff Community House was held on January 26, 2006. At this occasion tenants elected New Tenants Association, which will carryon the mandate as well as the planned activities for 2006, including activities under No Community Left Behind Project.

 

Highlights of the evening are as follows:

  • More than 25 percent of the households were represented.

  • TCW from OCH, Board members from the Community House, House Director and Community Developer from SEOCHC were present at the occasion.

  • The Tenants Association progress during 2005 and tentative work plan and budget for 2006 was presented to the participants.

  • TCW from Ottawa Community Housing facilitated the election process and all positions were filled without any contest. Fouzia Mohammad was unanimously elected to continue working as a president of the TA. Sylvester Gerald was elected to the position of Vice President, Diane Dore as the Secretary and Charlyene Elias as the treasurer.

  • Sylvie Manser presented progress review of the Community House and presented community activities planned for 2006.

  • A member from the Community House board presented the budget.

Elected members of the Tenants' Association decided to meet every first Saturday of the month. The meeting will be open for the rest of the tenants to drop in and participate in review and planning of the activities.


The rest of the community regularly meets every Thursday evening to discuss community development and safety issues. Activities such as Dinner and Chat and Women Exercise Club, organized under No Community Left Behind Project, provide community an opportunity to come together and share their concerns with service providers from outside.

Tenants’ Association and The Community House work closely for planning and implementing community development activities.
