2015 was a busy year for the North Peace Cultural Society. The December 2014 AGM saw record attendance of over 80 members, and the board was record size as well at 13. We worked hard to seek the community’s input over several community forums. The public asked the North Peace Cultural Society to:
-
Clarify Focus and Direction
-
Improve Accessibility to the Centre for ALL
-
Solidify the Business With Professionalism
-
Design Financial Security
-
Multiply Ways to Invite the Community
-
Expand for Diversity of Experiences
-
Increase Opportunities for Participation in Centre
-
Improve User Experiences Through Facility Upgrades
-
Create Exciting Season With Community Input
We used this input to draft a Policy Manual, a Business Plan, and a Strategic Plan. The North Peace Cultural Centre opened its doors to welcome and showcase the community for Bright Nights in June and Snow Day. This year also saw increased rentals, improved operations, innovative partnerships and stabilized finances. We hired new management and personnel, and sought out board training to be the best we could be.
We ask for your input once more. Please take the time to answer the three questions on the back of this paper and hand it to one of the board members at the end of the AGM.
