Spring is finally here, Beddington! The longer days and warmer weather bring a renewed energy to our community, and we’re excited for all that’s ahead this season.
We’d like to extend a huge thank you to all the incredible volunteers who are helping with our 2025 casino fundraiser. Your time and effort make a significant impact, providing valuable funding that helps support programs and initiatives in our community. We couldn’t do it without you!
With spring in full swing, registration for the 2025 Community Garden season is now open! If you’re interested in securing a garden bed, be sure to sign up soon, as spots tend to fill up quickly. Gardening is a fantastic way to enjoy the outdoors, connect with neighbours, and grow your own fresh produce. Visit our website for more details.
April also brings Easter celebrations, a time of renewal, joy, and time spent with loved ones. Whether you’re enjoying an Easter egg hunt, a family gathering, or simply taking in the beauty of spring, we hope you have a wonderful month.
We are looking forward to our annual community clean-up and Sleddington in June! Stay tuned for more details.
As always, we appreciate your continued support and involvement in our community.
Despite Balzac Billy’s prediction of an early spring, February found us still in the deep freeze. We hope Valentine’s Day allowed you to at least warm up your heart and to show the ones you love some appreciation!
Despite the cold temperatures, the Beddington Winter Carnival, held on Family Day, was a great success! It was wonderful seeing all the residents in attendance as well as many newcomers to the event. Everyone enjoyed skating, hot dogs, s’mores, perusing the Maker Market and reconnecting with neighbours and friends. We would like to thank all of the volunteers who made this event possible as well as volunteers from Youth Central and Winston Churchill High School. Also, a big shout out to Brady Adkins and his volunteers who maintain the skating rink throughout the winter. In addition, we would like to thank the City of Calgary for awarding us the Ward Community Event Fund Grant as well as the Stepping Stones Grant; this support helps our community put on events for the public which allow us to engage in community spirit, support small business and cultivate inclusion.
On the heels of Family Day came Teachers Convention offering a small break for our kids and families during these cold winter months. We hope you had the opportunity to spend time with your family or get away for a short vacation.
March is now upon us (at the time of writing), and we are hoping for a bit warmer temperatures. Unfortunately, with warmer temperatures we usually get a dump of heavy snow. Be careful out there and make sure you take breaks when shovelling deep snow. It’s also nice to look around your neighbourhood and see if there is anyone that you could be a “snow angel” for; I’m sure they would greatly appreciate the help.
Our next event is the Cowboys Casino on April 5 and 6; if you can volunteer for this event, please do.
Looking ahead to the spring, we are already in the planning stages for the Community Garden, Sleddington, the Bart Wall, and the Green Space Clean-up. Be sure to keep an eye on the Beddington Banner, our website, Facebook and Instagram for all the upcoming events.
Enjoy the month and we look forward to seeing you in the community!
