Hi Kincora,
Thank you once again, Kincora; our 5th Annual Winter Festival was another smashing success. Although mother nature didn’t provide us with any snow, the wagon rides and skating were jam packed all afternoon! If you ever wonder what a community association provides, it’s events like this that bring the community together. Thank you as always to our volunteers and sponsors: Home Sweet Home – Century 21 team for providing refreshments and TELUS for providing a monetary donation and making sure this event can continue every year. Our largest sponsor for 2023 was the Ward 2 Community Fund from Councillor Jennifer Wyness and the City of Calgary. A special thank-you to her office for helping us make this event as big as it is.
Be sure to check out our calendar of events here in the newsletter as we have a large number of items coming up in the next few months. However, with the timing of our newsletter, be sure to add the return of our Easter Egg Hunt at the Symons Valley United Church to your calendar. On April 1 from 2:00 to 4:00 pm, we will have crafts, a photo booth, activities, and of course the biggest hit, our easter egg scramble in the soccer field where each child must sort through hundreds of eggs to find six that spell E-A-S-T-E-R! Return the eggs to our volunteers and receive a goodie bag. As always, this event is free for KCA member families and $5 for non-member families. If you want to breeze through the line as a member, be sure to sign up at Kincora.org before the event.
Kincora Blizzards soccer returns in April; there is still time to sign up if you’re reading this. Bonus of signing up your household is that it comes with a KCA membership!
As the calendar turns to March and the weather warms up, our outdoor skating rink is going to come to its end here shortly. I want to take this space to thank our group of very dedicated rink maintenance volunteers for the season. In no particular order (and if you see these gentlemen in the neighbourhood be sure to thank them!): Kris McPherson, Ian Tompkins, Chris Standing, Daniel Cassavant, Bradley Thiessen, Chad Rowe, and Ski Kearsley. Ski passed away in January but has volunteered at the rink every year since 2018.
As always, feel free to reach out!
