HARRRP Executive Director Bill Parkes

Bill Parkes is the executive director of the Hamilton Association for Residential and Recreational Development Programs.  He gave a brief outline of the services provided by HARRRP through its many free programs at the former St. Peter's Anglican Church on Main Street in Hamilton. This past year over 15 000 individuals took part in the various programs at no cost to them. Click on http://harrrp.ca to see the many varied opportunities for recreation that are offered. Funding is provided by the United Way, the Hamilton Community Foundation and the donations from individuals and service clubs. The charity continues to offer its breakfast program and is starting a new summer camp at the Benneto Community Centre.

The Dundas Valley Sunrise Rotary Club donated $1500 to HARRRP last year to help pay for access ramps to St. Peter's.
