Kincora Needs Your Help – Adopt-a-Rink Coordinator Urgently Needed!
Dear Kincora Neighbours,
September has arrived and the warm (wet) months of summer are now starting to leave us. The board of directors has been grateful and proud to be able to deliver a series of successful events to the residents of the community. In August we hosted a community cleanup in partnership with The City of Calgary and Symons Valley United Church to help residents get rid of unwanted household items and property waste. A big thank you to our Director Dicky Sum for taking on this event and organizing it single-handedly. We also want to thank all the board and community volunteers who came out to ensure the event ran smoothly, and finally to Bow Tie Pizza Sage Hill for donating pizza! We’ll be sure to report back on how much waste was collected, so keep an eye on our socials!
The last events of the summer are our pop-up food trucks on September 11 and October 9. This is a perfect opportunity for people to get out of the kitchen and treat yourselves to some tasty cuisine from some of Calgary’s coolest mobile restaurants!
We are still looking for passionate community members to step into the role of President and Director of Rink Operations.
For many years the volunteers in Kincora have dedicated countless hours to providing a pleasure rink for the community to skate on each winter. This year we find ourselves without a Director of Rink Operations, and without a volunteer to step up into that Adopt-a-Rink Coordinator role, we won’t be able to install and maintain the outdoor rink this winter. This cherished community space brings together families, friends, and neighbours, and is the centrepiece of our Annual Winter Festival each February. We need one passionate person to help make it happen. If we don’t fill this role soon, we won’t have the capacity to install a rink this year.
• No experience? No problem!
• Full support and guidance provided
• You won’t be doing it alone – we’ll help you recruit a team!

Let’s keep the rink alive, Kincora!

Vice President
