Manor Park Community Council providing recreational programs in our community for 35 years!
The Manor Park Community Council (MPCC) aims to help build a strong and livable community by providing residents with activities that develop their minds, bodies and community spirit.
The MPCC provides recreational programs to participants in the greater community. The MPCC manages the Community Centre and takes pride in our parks and sports sites. We draw on local talent for volunteers and employees with collaborating with others whenever possible. As co-publisher of the Manor Park Chronicle and manorpark.ca, the MPCC supports the exchange of ideas in a well-connected community.
The MPCC operates year-round as a not-for-profit organization with a team of employees under the direction of a volunteer Board of Directors.
Core programs include:
Manor Park After-School: games, crafts, sports and homework time for elementary school children from kindergarten to grade 6. Interesting activities and engaged instructors make this recreation program a hit with children. Families enjoy the flexibility for attendance and fees. Manor Park After-School follows the OCDSB calendar.
Manor Park Playschool: where preschool- and kindergarten-aged children learn through play. Elementary school teachers and ECE’s guide a themed, bilingual program that includes literacy and music. Half-day programs are available mornings for preschoolers and both mornings and afternoons for kindergarten aged children.
Sports: an introduction to a variety of indoor and outdoor sports at the recreational level . For children aged 4+, soccer, baseball and rugby plus skating in the winter are the most popular outdoor sports. Indoors, soccer, volleyball and basketball are offered for children. Adult fitness is booming with Zumba, ‘Totally Toned’ and Boot Camp!
Summer Day Camps: a half-day format of themed camps led by experienced (and enthusiastic) instructors are the secret to these camps’ success! Free lunchtime supervision is available to those who wish to attend both morning and afternoon sessions. These camps sell out!
Special Events: community and family oriented activities offered free (or at nominal cost) year round. Events include: Skating Party and Chili Cook-off (February); “Hydration and Cheering Station’ for the Ottawa Marathon (May); Wonderful Wednesdays (July and August); ‘Rock the Block’ (September), and ‘Children’s Christmas Shoppe’ and movie night (December)>
The MPCC recognizes and thanks the City of Ottawa for the mandate and Renewable Community Funding grant. Programs are financed on a cost recovery basis by fees, grants and donations. The MPCC Board of Directors meet in the library of the Manor Park Public School (100 Braemar Street) on the 4th Wednesday of each month (September to June). New members are welcomed.
