The pre-read is Rough by Calgary’s very own Robin van Eck. The story is set in Calgary during the 2013 flood and revolves around Shermeto, who ends up in the hospital after intervening in a bar attack. Meanwhile, the city falls into chaos as the Bow River’s water level rises. Although Shermeto distances himself away from the swelling river, he is forced to face the part of his past that he tries to hide from: his daughter, Kendra.

Upcoming Community Events

Community Carnival: Cedarbrae Celebrates Chloe

Saturday, June 3 from 12:00 to 4:00 pm

Join us for this special summer event as we fundraise for Chloe and her family! This free admission, family-friendly event will feature face painting, carnival games and prizes, a petting zoo, snow cones, concession food, and more. In March of 2021, eight-year-old Chloe (born and raised in Cedarbrae) was diagnosed with Philadelphia chromosome positive acute leukemia, a rare form of white blood cell cancer. The aggressive treatment plan required a long-term hospital stay with constant tests and administering of medication, which meant that both of Chloe’s parents were unable to work. The Cedarbrae Community Centre is proud to announce that all net profits from the Community Carnival will go towards Chloe and her family for the costs associated with her treatment and recovery. For more information on Chloe’s story, visit the Facebook page titled, “Chloe’s Fight with PH+ Leukemia.”
