Hello neighbours,
What a way to kick off summer! A big thank you to everyone who came out for Neighbour Day and Art in Action—it was a fantastic day of community connection and creativity. Whether you were discovering your inner artist, lending a hand, or just enjoying the day, we’re so glad you were there. Thank you to our Special Events Committee for organizing a wonderful Neighbour Day celebration!
And a special round of applause to our Crafternoons team, who brought their signature creativity to Art in Action and continue to inspire even while regular classes take a summer break.
Summer is a great time to slow down, recharge, and connect with neighbours. While most programs are on pause until September, the outdoor pool is open for the season, and pickleball remains a popular way to stay active and social.
We’re also happy to welcome back the Community Farm Stand for a third season, in partnership with Lil Green Urban Farms and the City of Calgary. Join Trevor and the Lil Green team on Thursdays from 2:00 to 6:00 pm outside the Community Hall for fresh local produce and friendly conversation.
While we enjoy the season, it’s important to remember that some of our neighbours are facing challenges. Our Community Pantry, located next to the Lower Hall entrance, is always open for donations. If you’re able to give, we kindly ask for new, sealed, unopened non-perishable food items and hygiene products. These guidelines help ensure that the pantry remains safe, clean, and useful for everyone who relies on it.
Looking ahead, we’re teaming up with our neighbours in Tuxedo Park and Winston Heights-Mountview for our first-ever multi-community Stampede Pancake Breakfast! Join us on Sunday, July 6, from 8:00 am to 12:00 pm in the Our House Parking Lot for a morning of flapjacks, live music, a magician, and western fun—free and open to all. More details, including a list of sponsors, can be found on our website.
And finally, we’re still looking for volunteers for our 2025 Fundraising Casino, happening August 7 and 8. If you’re able to help, please contact us at [email protected].
Here’s to a safe, fun, and memorable summer—thank you for being part of our community!
