Two dozen community centres across Vancouver will be resuming services this fall in a limited capacity, as the city slowly reopens. In a bulletin on Thursday, the Vancouver Park Board announced all 24 community centres will be reopening as of Sept. 8, with a focus on programs and services for children, youth, seniors and access to food. "The park board is taking a thoughtful and phased reopening and recovery approach in alignment with B.C. The city closed virtually all public spaces, including community centres, in March to slow the spread of the novel coronavirus. Education Minister Rob Fleming announced Wednesday the plans for reintroducing students to classrooms this fall, and last week the park board announced licensed childcare and preschool services that are being offered by community centres will be available starting Sept. 1.
