Mission Statement
FGCA Mission Statement “To enhance the quality of life in Fairfield and Gonzales by involving community members in identifying and acting on the needs of the area residents”
About This Cause
The Fairfield Community Association was established September 17, 1975 by volunteer residents to enhance the quality of life in Fairfield, and is still governed by a volunteer Board of Directors. The population of Fairfield currently stands at over 17,000. There are over 1200 elementary students in the neighbourhood. A middle school straddles the border between Fairfield/Rockland and Fernwood. The Fairfield Gonzales Community Association (FGCA), representing the Fairfield Gonzales neighbourhood, is defined in its constitution as bounded by Blanshard Street to the west, Fort Street to the north, Foul Bay to the east, and the waterfront, or Dallas Road, to the south. Within these boundaries are the neighborhoods of Rockland to the north, with its own formalized Community Association, and Gonzales to the east. In 1984 the Association opened Fairfield Community Place, which is the only neighbourhood Centre within these boundaries. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- The “Place” is a community centre and neighbourhood house which operates recreation and leisure programs for all age groups. Out of School Care programs operate in two locations serving Sir James Douglas and Margaret Jenkins elementary schools. The FGCA also offered Out of School Care at Sundance Elementary until its closure in 2014. The FGCA has a history of hosting neighbourhood events such as the Swiftsure Pancake Breakfast, Cocoa with Claus, and Halloween Bonfires, and currently hosts Fall FAIRfield, Family Fun Day, our annual Gala fundraiser, and other community events throughout the year. The Place is the centre of operations for the Fairfield Gonzales Community Association, which is active in neighborhood planning, environmental concerns and community development. Residents can learn about programs and happenings at the Place through our Observer newspaper, website, and social media.
