I would just like to highlight what has been happening/going on behind the scenes this past month, in no particular order:
We are extremely disappointed that The City has chosen to change, yet again, the plans for the improvements in Richmond Green Regional Park. They have decided to remove the tennis courts, go back on their commitment of a cricket net, and eliminate the pump track. We are working on opposing these new changes. Removing the tennis courts means that additional sports amenities are being lost above the two baseball diamonds. It is not sufficient for The City to say that tennis courts are available in other communities.
Thank you, Rosa M., and all of our Community Cleanup Day volunteers! Our Free Store diverted a lot of items out of the landfill. The Diabetes Association took a truck load of donations in support of their fundraising efforts. We raised funds for the community through the e-cycle program and have a number of bicycles to pass on to charity. We also salvaged a whole bin of scrap metal. In addition, we efficiently collected 8,230 kg of waste thanks to the services provided by The City. Thank you all for your support!
As Sarina Homes continues their construction at Richmond Green, we are likely to see more road closures on Sarcee Road. We will try to keep you updated on our FB page.
By the time you are reading this, we should have had our AGM. Thank you to all who turned up to hear what we have been up to.
At this point in time, we are applying for both a grant from The City and a grant from the province to assist with our hall repair. These grants will not cover the totality of the repair, so we will be seeking additional grants.
We are hoping to schedule a Skating Party for Neighbour Day on January 31. We will need additional volunteers. Further details will be provided as we have more information to share.
Best wishes to you and yours as we head into the holiday season!
