As summer winds down, we hope you had a chance to relax, recharge, and enjoy some well-deserved downtime. September is here, and with it comes the return of many MPCA programs and activities.
Our hall is once again buzzing with energy as MPCA Fitness, Monday Games, and Crafternoons resume their regular schedules. Third-party providers who paused over the summer are also returning, bringing even more options for our community. Visit mpca.ca/programs to see what the hall has in store this season.
The Sportsplex had a great summer of Pickleball, but the ice is back! Public Skating returns on September 3, and Pucks & Rings is back on September 8.
Over at the pool, we also had a fantastic season. Thank you to everyone who came out and made it such a fun and lively summer.
With the start of a new school year, the neighbourhood is coming back to life—and we’re glad to be part of that rhythm. If you have little ones still at home, this is a great time to check out our Mount Pleasant Playgroup. Open to parents and caregivers, Playgroup is a welcoming, relaxed space to connect, play, and build community. Registration is free with an MPCA membership.
While the weather forced us to cancel our Annual Neighbour Day Celebration, our Special Events Team has been hard at work planning an exciting Jump into Fall Festival on Saturday, September 6 from 4:00 to 7:00 pm. We’re also thrilled to share that Crafternoons will be presenting Art in Action! —a special showcase originally planned for Neighbour Day. Let’s come together and celebrate all the things that make Mount Pleasant a great place to call home.
Looking ahead, our Annual General Meeting takes place in October. We are still looking for a dedicated individual to step into the Vice President role. This is a two-year term on the executive board, followed by a two-year term as President. We are also seeking a Hall Director for a two-year board position. If these roles aren’t quite the right fit for you, we’re also looking for a Grants Coordinator and a Casino Coordinator. Our committees—Communications, Special Events, Green Initiatives, and Community Watch—are always happy to welcome new members. If you’ve been looking for a way to get involved, reach out to [email protected] this is a great time to jump in!
We’re heading into a full and active September—we look forward to seeing you in and around the community.
