CANTERBURY EXECUTIVE MEMEBERS | |
 |
 John Brennan
President
Welcome to our web site. We hope that you find it informative and interesting.
I have been with the Association for almost 10 years, taking over as President in August 2007. I worked as a Systems Analyst in Public Works and Government Services Canada for over 32 years, before retiring in July 2005.
As head of the Association, I have tried to build on the solid foundation left by my predecessor, which recognizes the need to provide our community with expanded programs and services for all age groups, which are affordable, easily accessible and taught by knowledgeable and experienced instructors, and to support and promote the Association’s guiding principle, "for the community, by the community and with the community".

Sandra Cloutier
Member-At-Large
I moved into the Canterbury ward over 25 years ago: my husband and I remained here to raise our family. For a part of this time I was primary school teacher and then a stay at home mom. For our children, my husband and myself the programs at the Canterbury Community Centre has been a big part of our lives. We have been involved in Dance, Tae Kwondo, Fitness, Music and Art classes, to name a few. It is time to be part of the executive to help with the continuation of these valuable programs.
