Happy New Year, Kincora!
2026 has arrived. I hope everyone had a chance to rest and relax during the holiday season, or at least spend some quality time with friends, family, or even neighbours. If last year didn’t go well for you, I wish this new year would bring you better luck and good fortune. For those setting New Year’s resolutions, I wish you success in reaching your goals.
Reflection of 2025
KCA had accomplished a lot last year, from the annual Winter Festival, Easter Egg Hunt, Festival of Colours, Community Cleanup, to the popular Stampede Breakfast; they were well organized and well received. Without the amazing KCA board and the volunteers, these events wouldn’t be possible. Also, I would like to give another big thanks to our last year’s events’ sponsors, from A to Z:

Challenges Ahead

What’s in 2026?
Finally, what’s coming up in 2026? Even though we are shorthanded, we are keeping our popular events going. Please mark these events on your calendar:
• Annual Winter Festival – February 22 (weather dependent)

Don’t forget: our eighth Annual Winter Festival is coming up soon and is open to everyone. We will continue our tradition of two horse-drawn sleigh rides through the Kincora fields. We will have the “Skate Shack” on-site for free skate and helmet rentals. Combining the firepits and light refreshments like hot chocolate and donuts, we shall beat the winter blues!
