We are now happily moved into our new home at Hillcrest Centre - the legacy facility from the Vancouver 2010 Olympic and Paralympic Winter Games.

The VCC External Affairs Committee, Board of Directors and staff have been working closely with the Vancouver Park Board to prepare the Club for the move to the new facility. Planning has been underway for most of this decade, and most certainly has been ramped up in the past few years.

Almost all of the major tasks are now complete. These included planning for the conversion of the curling club space from the 2010 Winter Games facility, writing and approving a Business Plan based on the principles approved by the membership at the 2009 AGM (which is complete with a long list of furniture, fixtures, and equipment that were sourced and purchased), securing a loan to fund the up-front costs associated with the move, and more. The final outstanding item to complete is the finalization of an Operating Agreement between the VCC and the Vancouver Park Board. We have a signed MOU that outlines all of the major details for the Operating Agreement, and discussions are underway to complete negotiations so that an Operating Agreement can be ratified.
