Frequently Asked Questions
I am interested in joining the NPNA board. What does that look like?
Board members commit any number of hours they have the capacity to commit, and usually spend time working on projects of interests. Outside of specific projects, the board meets a minimum of once a month (for 2 hours a meeting).
Our board includes professionals, students, homeowners, renters and more. The main requirement to join is an interest in the North Park community.
Interested in applying? Get Involved
I am interested in volunteering, but not on the board. What’s available?
We have volunteers who work with us long-term (on a recurring basis), and volunteers who help for one-off events. Check out some of our initiatives.
Not seeing a project of interest? Or perhaps a past project that’s no longer operating? Get in touch through the contact form.
What are the monthly meetings all about? When do they happen?
Our monthly community meetings take place on the 2nd Tuesday of each month. Anyone is welcome to attend. They are located at the Bosa Community Room (1025 Mason Street) from 6:30pm – 8:30pm.
Our board and staff discuss different programs, initiatives, land use topics, including any issues or important neighbourhood goings on.
Meetings are kept very informal and interactive. Discussion is encouraged and points of view respected. Sometimes we will have a guest speaker from a local organization, the City, or a developer.
How can I get an issue I am worried about addressed?
We would be happy to discuss it! Feel free to attend a monthly meeting or send us an email at npna@npna.ca.
