Our Story
Our journey began in a private living room in 1978. From there, it moved to a small room at Marpole Oakridge Community Centre, running twice a week by volunteers who relied on donations. It later moved to the heritage building that used to be the old Marpole Firehouse on Hudson and West 70th Avenue. After a flood in 2013, MOFP moved to the Taiwanese Canadian Cultural Society building on Selkirk Street. Today, MOFP is in its own purpose-built space at the Marpole Community HUB building, owned by the City of Vancouver and built by Onni Development.
