About the Boyle Activity Council

The Boyle Activity Council is a volunteer committee dedicated to providing the Old East Village neighbourhood with affordable recreation opportunities. The BAC, along with key community partners, offer programs for residents of all ages.

Mission Statement
To provide affordable, accessible and quality recreational and leisure activities in a safe and positive environment for the members of the local community.

Structure
The Boyle Activity Council consists of three rings of participants. The inner ring consists of the Residents of the community and other associations or groups. These are the stakeholders in the council. The next ring consists of Program Facilitators. The outer ring consists of the Executive Council. The Executive Council members are required to have been a Program Facilitator of good standing for at least one program in order to be eligible for election. The Executive Council seeks information via surveys and general meetings from the stakeholders on projects, programs and events that they are interested in taking part in, and then determine if these prrograms would be consistent with the Mission Statement (and if the group has the capability, support, equipment and Program Facilitators to offer the program). If the requirements are all met, the group will create and run the program, and evaluate the program's success.

Definitions
Executive Council
This consists of at least four core members; Chairperson, Treasurer, Secretary, and Program Coordinator. Other executive positions may be created as needed. This group as a whole, will meet no less than on a quarterly basis.

Program Facilitators
All members of this group who have any contact with children must complete a police screening check.
This group will fluctuate in numbers and will be sought out by the Executive Council to help run the ongoing programs and/or special events. They will be assisted by the Program Coordinator and given an orientation prior to running any program. This group can be broken down into the following subsets:

Coach: anyone who coaches a sports team

Instructor: someone who leads a non-sport related program

Volunteer: those that give freely of their time to help in any capacity with the Council.

Committee Member: individuals who choose to help organize a specific one-time event run by the Council.

Residents and Associations
Any participant, parent, member of an external association or member of the community. These individuals are invited to attend any open meetings to provide feedback and suggestions to the Executive Council in regard to programming ideas. The Council is not bound to act upon the suggestions of the community; this is especially true if the suggestion is not consistent with the BAC's Mission Statement.
