Mr
Speaker
this
week
is
Neighborhood
House
week,
which
celebrates
and
acknowledges
the
work
that
neighborhood
houses
do
in
our
communities.
You
may
ask
what
is
the
difference
between
a
neighborhood
house
and
a
City
Community
Center
I
would
say
on
one
hand,
there's
no
difference.
Both
are
the
gathering
places
for
the
community
that
are
doing
good.
On
the
other
hand,
there
is
a
difference
and
it
is
in
the
programming,
not
unlike
the
difference
between
the
city,
police
and
the
RCMP
I.
A
Suppose
the
neighborhood
house
is
a
community
space
that
differ
from
a
community
center
due
to
the
many
programs
and
services
from
low
cost
to
no
cost.
The
programs
are
responsive
to
the
needs,
Trends
issues
and
wants
of
the
community.
The
age
range
is
from
birth
onward
and
inclusive
to
all.
In
my
riding
a
Vancouver
Fraser
view,
we
have
the
South
Vancouver
neighborhood
house
that
was
established
in
1977.
A
For
example,
a
family
drop-in
program
at
an
art
center
near
an
elementary
school,
an
adult
Day
program
in
the
local
shopping
mall
or
women's
group
in
the
City
Community
Center
neighborhood
houses
are
like
the
thread
sewn
into
a
community
group
bridging
and
connecting
people
from
diverse
Community
cultures,
languages
and
age
groups.
Thank
you.

Speaker
