The Feasibility of a Neighbourhood House in Kamloops, BC, Canada
Laurea University of Applied Sciences Degree Program in Social Services Bachelor’s Degree Abstract Jacqueline Tahvanainen The Feasibility of a Neighbourhood House in Kamloops, BC, CanadaThe Feasibility of a Neighbourhood House in Kamloops, BC, Canada Year 2019 Pages 35 Neighbourhood houses are community activity hubs that provide a multitude of programs and services beneficial to the local citizens who use them and the communities they serve. They are found in cities all over the world, including Vancouver, British Columbia, which has several. The obvious success and utility of these centres, in Vancouver and elsewhere, leads to the assumption that they could be of value in cities that have never had one. This research focuses on one such city: Kamloops, British Columbia. The threefold purpose of the present thesis then, is to form a general impression about the possibility of a neighbourhood house in Kamloops 2) to introduce the concept of the neighbourhood house to a variety of Kamloops community leaders, and 3) to gauge their current reaction to that concept. The framework of this study includes a general description of Kamloops, BC, as the operational environment, and a descriptive account of neighbourhood houses with regards to structure, staff and volunteers, partnerships and funding, programs and services. The centres in Vancouver are used as references, as they could serve as practical models for a neighbourhood house in Kamloops. The history of neighbourhood houses is also included, to demonstrate their longevity and continuity in improving the lives of people and positively impacting communities. This is a qualitative study based on semi-structured interviews with various community leaders in Kamloops. Semi-structured interviews were chosen because they would allow for more spontaneous answers and deeper discussion, and thus greater exploration of the subjects related to the research. The findings of this research reveal that a neighbourhood house would be a good possibility in the city of Kamloops, with favourable conditions present related to partnerships, funding, and the recruitment of volunteers. Community needs and gaps in service were identified and could possibly be filled by a neighbourhood house. Meaningful discussion was generated about the concept of a neighbourhood house in Kamloops. The discussions brought forth valuable insights, observations, and perspectives. The information gathered would be likely be useful to anyone wishing to explore this concept further.
