Welcome to the Resource Opportunities Centre

roc_logo_strokeThe Resource Opportunities Centre (ROC) is a not-for-profit community development organization which serves the communities along Route 333 from Goodwood to West Dover. We work in partnership with local grassroots organizations and HRM to share information, undertake projects, and deliver programs and services in response to community needs.

The ROC started as a C@P site in 1998, and in 2010 we became the volunteer management board for the newly-built Prospect Road Community Centre, a beautiful LEED-Silver facility that has become a bustling hub for the community. It’s the ROC’s mission to promote community development and sustainability through the delivery of diverse recreational, educational, cultural, social and technology-related opportunities.

A History of the ROC

The ROC is a grassroots, community volunteer organization that has been in existence since 1998. Originally established as the Terence Bay and Area C@P Site, the organization transformed into the Resource Opportunities Centre, Community Development Association Serving the Prospect Road Area in 2002.

The ROC maintains its connection with C@P (Community Access Program) by providing free computer and WIFI Access at both the Terence Bay Site and at the new Prospect Road Community Centre.

Projects, partnerships and communication have been at the root of all of the work of the ROC over the years, bringing hundreds of employment, educational, social and recreational opportunities to the area.

Through project funding (2004 – 2008) the ROC designed and built www.prospectcommunities.com which it continues to maintain and expand to this day. Expansion of the main webpage led to the development of www.roc.prospectcommunities.com and www.centre.prospectcommunities.com as well as Facebook and twitter profiles, all of which are valuable and effective communication tools.

In 2009 the ROC was named the volunteer management Board for the brand new state of the art $8,500,000.00 Prospect Road Community Centre. The community centre has proven to be an enormous asset to the community. The work of the ROC Board and its many sub-committees over the past year has been focused on developing the structures, processes and policies that are needed to manage the facility, supporting the General Manager of the Community Centre, establishing our roles and responsibilities to HRM and community, and integrating and confirming the core mandate of the organization.
