A little background on the CGRC ..........

Canal Gardens Residents Committees 2007-2009 comprises of volunteers who were elected at Kota Kemuning Canal Gardens Residents' Annual General Meeting (held on Sunday, 28th October 2007 at Centre Park's Basketball Court).

These volunteers are normal residents of Canal Gardens, just like you and me or your neighbour buddy-buddy. We all have a day job (some even have two jobs) ... kita suma kena cari makan juga. We all go through daily traffic jam in the morning and evening. Some already left their homes by 6.30 am!!! We have our own families to look after - sending the kids to school, making sure they complete their homework, taking take of our elderly parents etc. We all, just like everybody else in Malaysia and Singapore, look forward to the weekends, public holidays and cuti-cuti sekolah.

But we all still try our very best to squeeze some time to plan and participate in CGRC activities which are mainly for benefits of the Canal Gardens residents - Recycling Day, Family Day, Golf Tournament and the Monthly Meeting.

The CGRC members do not get any salary or allowance - not even discount for our own activities like Family Day and Golf Tournament. Some of the members spent their own money, sponsored gifts, and even made some personal sacrifices here and there for the overall well being of Canal Gardens. Some of our committees attend meetings held during office hours because the developer and other government agencies insist on doing it during "office hours".

All in the name of helping to make Canal Gardens a better place for you, me and our families to live in, to play in. The community is growing. New residents are moving in, more issues popping up like the continuos concern on security, some loose-cannons are driving recklessly, lalangs, canal aka longkang besar and dengue cases ...

So come and join us. Pinjam tangan, pinjam kaki, Bersama-sama kita seiring sehati, Pastikan Canal Gardens satu contoh "GREAT" komuniti!
