History:
VHNA is a non-profit, non-denominational, non-partisan and non-political organization that was formed in 1971 and has been involved since in the community recreational activities. VHNA operated 10 programs prior to the construction of the Victoria Hills Community Centre (VHCC) in 1991. These historic programs were run at various locations such as A.R. Kaufmann Public School, Monsegnior Gleason Catholic School and other locations.
After the construction of the VHCC in 1991 by the City of Kitchener, VHNA held its programs in the new building. In 2005 responding to the community's needs, VHCC underwent construction which resulted in centre's expansion.
