Greely Community Association
Welcome to the GCA!
The Greely Community Association (GCA) is a not-for-profit organization created to advance community interests and improve the quality of life for the people of Greely. Our members are local residents and dedicated volunteers who share an interest in their community. The GCA shares information and provides support to the Greely community in several ways:
- o We provide a forum for discussion of issues, build consensus and bring conclusions to the public attention;
- o We cooperate with and support other community organizations in the pursuit of common interests;
- o We keep the community informed about activities and opportunities that may be of benefit or interest to Greely residents;
- o We initiate social, educational, recreational and other new programs as needs present themselves in our community.
Coronavirus/Covid-19 Update
The Greely Community Association (GCA) Board of Directors is dedicated to supporting and working with the residents of the Village of Greely and our surrounding areas. There are over 7000 residents along with approximately 250 local businesses in the GCA area.
The GCA is concerned about local residents who may be unable to care for themselves out of fear or other limitations. We are coordinating information on the GCA Facebook page that will assist residents in our area and across the Osgoode Ward.
We have been receiving numerous offers to assist the GCA and our residents. Our goal is to coordinate with other Community Associations in our Ward to support those in need.
