Happy New Year from the Evanston Creekside Community Association (ECCA)!
Birthday Month
The ECCA was officially incorporated on January 25, 2007, so this year we will turn 18! We will start the celebrations during our free skating event (see below). There are more than 150 community associations in Calgary, and each have a group of volunteers who support community programs, events, safety and development initiatives. The first was Bridgeland-Riverside in 1908 followed by Scarboro. ECCA is only just becoming an adult! Our Board has exciting initiatives and events planned for 2025 so get involved, buy a membership and celebrate our Evanston!
Come Try Free Skating
Want to skate for free? The ECCA and Skate Shack return this year with KidSport Canada. Our date is Saturday, January 18 at our community park (115 Evanston Drive). Skates will be free to rent for the entire family. There will be hot drinks, entertainment, and the fire pit to keep us all warm. We will need volunteers to successfully run the event so please email [email protected]. This date is also Hockey Day in Canada.
The skating rink at the community park has been flooded and prepared by our dedicated Board volunteers. The status of the rink is available on our Facebook page. Come also to enjoy the community park including the book library that is free for all to use. Want to use the fire pit? Let us know at [email protected].
