Dear Neighbours,
May is here, and with it comes a full slate of community activities!
Our Taste of Mount Pleasant was a huge success, selling out once again. This event is a great way to highlight local businesses from Mount Pleasant and our neighbouring communities, and we couldn’t have done it without the hard work of our special events committee, our incredible vendors, dedicated volunteers, and, of course, all of you who attended. Thank you for making it such a fantastic evening.
April also marked the return of the Community Garden, though rain and snow made for a chilly start. We’re hoping those April showers bring plenty of May flowers, and we look forward to another great season of fresh produce and beautiful greenery in the garden. It’s always wonderful to see this space come to life each year, bringing people together and adding more greenery to our neighbourhood.
This month, our Green Initiatives Committee is hosting the Annual Community Cleanup at the Hall on May 4 in collaboration with the City of Calgary. If you have items to get rid of, this is a great chance to clear out some space without a trip to the dump. Check our website for details on the time and a list of accepted items. Rumour has it that the Nerf Park will be back in action in the week preceding the cleanup, keep an eye on our website and social media channels for details!
May also marks the return of the Community Farm Stand at the Hall. In partnership with Lil Green Urban Farms and the City of Calgary, this marks the third year that Lil Green will be bringing fresh local produce to our community. Be sure to stop by and support this wonderful initiative.
We’re still looking for someone to step into the role of Assistant Hall Director to shadow our current Hall Director and take over at the AGM in October. If you’re interested in this or any volunteer role, please reach out to [email protected].
The MPCA is interested in starting a Community Watch program and is looking for neighbours who want to help support a safer community. If you’d like to contribute to developing this (or any other) initiative, please email [email protected].
Looking ahead to summer, we are in need of volunteers for our fundraising casino on August 7 and 8 at ACE Casino. This event is one of our biggest fundraisers, supporting community programs. If you can help, please contact our Casino Coordinator, Michele Gole at [email protected].
Thank you to everyone who continues to support our community through events, volunteering, and simply being a great neighbour. We look forward to seeing you soon!
