Spring is in the air!
This month, I wanted to share a bit more about the CCA and how we are involved in our community.
The Chaparral Community Association (CCA) is a volunteer run organization that represents the residents of Lake Chaparral, Chaparral Ridge, Chaparral Ravine, and Chaparral Valley. Your CCA is the recognized body that liaises with government officials, expresses resident concerns regarding commercial, industrial, and residential land use development and represents the position of the residents on education, transportation, environmental and infrastructure issues.
The CCA supports organized sports, community, and social programs.
To stay connected with the community the CCA publishes in the Chaparral Trailblazer, maintains a website, Facebook, and Instagram pages.
The CCA Board encourages all residents to purchase a membership and when available, attend monthly meetings to help make our community amazing.
Some things the CCA has done for the community include new playgrounds at Chaparral Common and Chapalina Crescent, Garbage Bin Wraps, Adopt-a-Rink in the Valley, Green Thumbs Community Garden, Community Cleanups, advocating for traffic signal lights and crosswalk rapid movement flagship beacons, safe community initiatives, and development permit applications. The CCA has also weighed in on commercial applications including Chaparral Meadows, the Bottle Depot, Telus cell tower, BFI Canada, and Inland Cement.
The CCA hosts several events throughout the year including Murder Mystery Nights, Easter Egg Hunt, Stampede Kick Off Breakfast (co-hosted with the Lake Chaparral Residents Association), End of Summer Bash, Skate with Santa, and Festival of Lights.
The CCA has several pieces of sports equipment that can be used by members including adult and child snowshoes, walking poles, and portable disc golf game.
Monthly board meetings typically take place on the second Wednesday of the month.
Many hands make for light work! If you would like to get involved in the community, please message [email protected].
