In order to gain a better understanding of the community needs, it would be beneficial to conduct a community wide survey involving such information as drug and alcohol use, nutritional patterns, sport/recreation involvement, and disease rates. It is important to note that some of the aforementioned topics may be difficult to obtain since some people won’t be willing to disclose. With that being said it is essential to gather the nutritional patterns and the sport/recreation involvement of both communities. 13 | P a g e Existing programs Marlborough Park Community Marlborough Park PreSchool Canadian Blood Services at the Marlborough Park Community Centre, Drop-in Tai Chi Dance Club Lessons - U of C Dance Club: lessons Zumba LOMA Seniors This group meets to play cards, enjoy the occasional celebration, and participate in a group meal at one of several favorite restaurants a few times each year (Marlborough Park Newsletter, 2012).
