Did you know that Valour Community Centre INC. manages 3 community centres including our community centre, Orioles, as well as Issac Brock and Clifton Community Centres? Did you know that the Boys and Girls Club wants to make Orioles a permanent site for the kids in our community? Did you know that DMSMCA is waiting on Valour Community Centre to give Boys and Girls Club permission to use orioles for their youth programming? Without this approval, Youth programming at orioles will NOT be able to continue. As of June 2010, the drop in program that sees between 30 and 45 kids per day will close. There is no representation from Daniel Mac/St. Mathews residents on the Valour Community Centre INC. Board of Directors. SO… Please sign this petition urging the Valour Community Centre to support the boys and girls club in maintaining our community youth drop-in. Your Neighbours at the Daniel McIntyre/St Mathews Community Association

I spent the morning staring at the empty building and thinking about where those forty kids are supposed to go now if the board keeps ignoring us. It is honestly exhausting dealing with the silence from the decision makers while we just wait for a sign that they care about our neighborhood programming at all.

My kids love the drop in program. It keeps them out of trouble and gives them something to do after school. Please dont close it down!

This is ridiculous. The board members dont even live here so why do they get to decide what happens to our neighborhood kids??

45 kids a day is a big deal. Where are they supposed to go if this closes down? stop being difficult and just let them stay.

Been going to orioles for years. Really hoping the programming stays so the younger ones have a place to go.
