Hello Kincora,
It was brilliantly sunny day on the Annual Winter Festival Day on February 23. Hope you took part in it. We had great fun in bringing it to you. A big shout out to our sponsors and volunteers who help us immensely in bringing these events to you.
Seeing by the number of conversations on the KCA Facebook page, I understand that there has been an interest on Kincora fields. To summarize, the KCA board is working (with the KRA) on rebuilding the pond playground, with the aim of starting the work in 2026. After that the board will be focusing on building a sport amenities in the Kincora fields. It cannot be a permanent structure as the land is owned by the CBE. If there is a decision to build a school, it needs to be removed. These past months the KCA board has been brainstorming for ideas about this and has been working on fund application and business plans. If you are interested in participating in the build of these, I urge you to join the board and provide your time.
We are regular people on the board with work, lives, and other stuff going on, doing this out of an aim to give back to the community that we live in. This is the like the third or fourth job for us and it is not easy. What keeps us going is the smiles that we see on your faces when you come to the events.
In this month’s newsletter you will see an announcement of the Annual General Meeting happening on April 29. This is your community, so I urge all of you to take interest in its activities. Please attend the AGM and ask us about our activities.
After serving many years on the board our Treasurer, Murray Stene, and Director of Outdoor Rink, Brad Theissen, have resigned. They have each been very hard working and wonderful in the expertise they brought to the board. The board will miss them immensely as they continue to thrive in whatever they do. Even though I have been serving as the Director of Communications we would like to fill this position with someone specifically designated to the job. The main responsibility of this role is to put the monthly newsletter together and send it over to our editors. The person in this role is free to update the newsletter as they see fit.
Together we can do this, without help we will all crumble.
March and April are the months of spring, of change, of Easter, and other spring festivals in various cultures around the world. I hope you and your little ones can join us to hunt for eggs and other fun activities on April 5 at the Symons Valley Church from 2:00 to 4:00 pm.
Holi, the colours festival typically celebrated in India around March is being held at our very own Kincora fields on May 3, 2:00 to 4:00 pm. As per the weather forecast it is predicted to be a sunny day. Let’s hope it stays that way. Please wear your whitest outfit and be ready to go back in colours. Hop on with your dancing shoes on. Calgary’s local artist DJ Tenzin is all set to bring the latest hits from around the world to make you swing. Remember it’s a free event. Rain or shine it will happen!
Happy spring Kincora!

President, KCA
