Mount View Colquitz Community Association (MVCCA) was founded in 2007, when groups from two different neighbourhoods came together. Now the association advocates for three communities: Mount View, Colquitz, and the Saanich Core. MVCCA is one of the community specific associations supported by the District of Saanich.
A complete list of associations is available at: Saanich website.
MVCCA is a not-for-profit society, registered under the BC Societies Act. It is governed by an executive board of members, half of which are elected at each Annual General Meeting. The term of office is two years. We have named offices (pres, secretary etc.) and any number of Directors At Large. The staggered, two year terms, help ensure continuity. We have flexible job descriptions, so as to accommodate the needs of our volunteer officers who all have busy lives apart from the community group.
MEMBERSHIP
Membership cost is $ 5 per year, payable at any time. Members have an opportunity to impact events, association business and issues with which the association is concerned and to contribute to the creation of their community.
We are committed to celebrating the rich diversity of people in our community. We all share the responsibility for creating an equitable and inclusive community and for addressing discrimination in all forms.
REGULAR MONTHLY MEETINGS
Our meetings are held at Pearkes Recreation Center (3100 Tillicum Rd.). General meetings are held every third Tuesday of the month (except July, August and December) The time is from 7 – 9 pm.
