New Membership Portal
There is a new online membership portal at www.cliffbungalowmission.com. It has more capabilities than the previous system and it will require less volunteer time to manage.
To get to the location online, click on “Get Involved”. Then click on “Memberships”. The new membership portal link is at the bottom of that page.
New Season of Jazz Events Starts September 3
Our jazz season goes from September to June. The next season starts on Wednesday, September 3. There has been a change in entrance fees which will increase by $5. The entrance fee has not changed for many years and during that time there has been a lot of inflation. Other jazz venues already charge more than our new prices. We share the door money with the jazz group, with the community getting a small portion.
New Potluck Season Starts September 14
Potlucks start up on Sunday, September 14. This is a free event. You just bring something to share. Potluck starts at 6:00 pm but we need help setting up at 5:00 pm.
Community Cleanup – Sunday, September 28
Swap! Drop! Donate! will take place this year on Sunday, September 28 from 10:00 am to 2:00 pm. Location is still the parking lot of Western Canada High School. Please contact [email protected] to volunteer.
Changes to Our Hall Rentals
Our community hall was created from two classrooms. There is a folding door that can divide the hall back into two rooms. For many years the Montessori School of Calgary has been renting our hall space and using the west half as a classroom on school days. We have concurrently been renting the whole hall after 5:00 pm. In most cases that has meant the school would remove their things (on wheels). This has caused various concerns for the school. During the last several months, we have been in discussion with Montessori on how we might address these concerns.
At our June board meeting, our board decided we would stop renting the whole hall to outside groups starting September 1. We will still use the whole hall for CBMCA events such as Jazz and Potlucks, and we will still rent out the east hall for small events like Condo AGMs. Rental costs will be adjusted for the smaller space.
For rental inquiries, email [email protected].

History Book Available at Community Events
We have sold over 650 copies of our award-winning history book. Learn about the history of your community in a very readable text with lots of pictures and maps. Cost is still $30 (basically cost recovery). Copies are available at all events at the community centre. This is a great book for summer reading.
