The Queensborough Special Programs Committee (QSPC) is a passionate group of volunteers who bring the heart of our neighbourhood to life through fun, inclusive, and family-friendly events.

From seasonal celebrations to cultural gatherings and community festivals, our goal is to create meaningful connections among residents of all ages, backgrounds, and walks of life. Every event we organize is made possible by the energy, generosity, and creativity of local volunteers like you!

We believe that when we celebrate together, we grow stronger together.

History

The Queensborough Special Programs Committee (QSPC) has been bringing joy to the neighbourhood for decades. Formed in 1979 by a group of dedicated local parents, seniors, and volunteers, the committee started with a vision: to create fun, inclusive events that would bring the community together across generations and cultures.

What began with small seasonal celebrations at the old Queensborough Community Centre quickly grew into a beloved tradition. The annual Children’s Festival, now one of the largest events in the area, started as a modest gathering with homemade games and community potlucks and continues today with live entertainment, food trucks, and hundreds of attendees.

Over the years, QSPC has added events like the Queensborough Family Christmas Dinner, Queensborough Lighting of the Firehall, Annual Queensborough Children's Festival, and shoreline clean-ups, while always staying rooted in its original goal: to build community spirit and connection through shared experiences.

Run entirely by volunteers, QSPC remains a grassroots organization that reflects the heart and diversity of Queensborough. Every event tells the story of neighbours working together, supporting one another, and creating lasting memories for the next generation.
