The NEXT50 EXPLORATORY PHASE: Key Learning & Recommendations report creates opportunities to contribute to the Beechwood Park community — whether you live here or not.

Beechwood Park residents and friends have the talent and resources to make a difference, by improving on the solid foundation imagined by Abram Wiebe and shaped by half a century of generous BPHA volunteers. You can become a member of this transition by joining the Board or a working group of like-minded volunteers determined to build back better and create new norms for our descendants.

In 2022 the BPHA may be looking for members to fill:

• several Board vacancies
   
• new positions recommended by the NEXT50 committee
  • NEXT50 Project Director
  • Director of Community Engagement
     
• members of sub-committees like the following:
  • site redevelopment steering committee
  • community engagement
  • membership model review
  • Capital fund raising.

Think about your areas of interest and capabilities. This is an opportunity to expand and hone your skills; work with other capable neighbours and friends; make a difference in our community and beyond.
