The Annual General Meeting of the Bridgeland-Riverside Community Association was held on June 12 at the hall. Approximately 50 members turned out on an evening when we were competing with Game 4 of the Stanley Cup Finals. On behalf of the BRCA, I wish to thank all those who attended and provided their questions and comments to the Board. In addition to presentations from a number of Directors on BRCA activities over the past few months, attendees heard from our City of Calgary Neighbourhood Partnership Coordinator and from representatives of the Bridgeland Business Improvement Area.
I want to thank the following outgoing Directors for their service to our community and their valuable contributions to the BRCA Board: Blain Cellars, Eileen Dooley, Jackie Fimrite, and Kazuki Tomoda. I also want to welcome the following new Directors and thank them for volunteering to contribute their time and energy to the BRCA Board: Ron Bettin, Cheryl De Paoli, Catherine Larson, Phillip Lowrie, and Allan McIntyre.
As was mentioned by a number of speakers at the AGM, we are always looking for volunteers to assist with the various activities the BRCA puts on throughout the year. These events and programs would not be possible without the efforts of our many volunteers, and I want to thank everyone who has contributed their time and enthusiasm in the past.
By the time this issue of the newsletter reaches you, our Farmers’ Market will be up and running again. We have a full slate of vendors this season, and I encourage you to come out on Thursdays to support these great businesses and enjoy the vibe at the market.
