Parks Board One Card City of Vancouver
The Vancouver Parks Board will be terminating agreements with the community centres that are pursuing legal action against them.
A week after six community centres launched legal action against the Parks Board, the Parks Board has responded by announcing their agreements with the community centres will end at the end of the year.
"There was just no way we could continue the relationship….from the allegations made in the lawsuit," said Park Board Commissioner Niki Sharma.
The dissenting centres – Killarney, Kensington, Kerrisdale, Hastings, Sunset and Hillcrest – say the board's new One Card pass is a cash grab designed to take away control of the community centres from local neighbourhoods.
The remaining 16 community centre associations in Vancouver have elected to join the One Card program.
But now, the Parks Board say their agreement will end as of December 31, 2013. It will be business as usual at the affected community centres, according to the Parks Board. This means childcare, daycare and programs will continue uninterrupted. But the centres would be effectively controlled by the Park Board.
Riley Park Community Centre Association president Jesse Johl said that despite their lawsuits, the group was shocked by the Park Board's announcement.
"I felt sorry for all our customers and patrons. This came out of the blue, it was a shock to everyone…My feeling is it's just another tactic of a bully," he said.
"We already have a court day set, and we'll be proceeding…we'll see what happens from there.
"Maybe a judge's gavel can combat a bully."
