Meanwhile here is a bit of NPIDA History!
14 years ago the very first NPIDA Ceili was held at the Minoru Sports Pavilion in Richmond. Today there is a
special event taking place at the Pavilion. It is now 50 years old and will be demolished this summer to make way for a multi-purpose complex which will house a new aquatic centre, senior's centre and other recreation and community facilities.
Residents of Richmond are invited to drop by the Pavilion
today between 10:00AM-4:00PM to share their memories; the Pavilion was the scene of many community functions, dances, sporting events, weddings etc. Mayor Brodie will be speaking, there will be some performances, a slide show, and staff and volunteers from the Richmond Museum will be on hand.
Nora, Courtney, Hanna and Jessica are the only current NPIDA teachers/dancers who attended this Ceili back in April 2000. Late at night after all the Ceili guests had left and the Ceili Committee (a small group of NPIDA parent volunteers) were finishing cleaning up, a Pavilion staff member came by to check the facility. She noticed the black scuff marks (from hard shoes) on the floor and informed us that we would
not get our damage deposit back until
all the black marks were removed.
This photo was taken well after midnight; we spent a good deal of time down on our hands and knees scrubbing those black marks off the floor! In the photo, lines of masking tape are being peeled off the floor after much scrubbing of black scuff marks had taken place.
