The Symons Valley Leisure and Amenities Society is growing, and we’re thrilled to share our latest updates with you. From welcoming new board members to planning our much-anticipated Movie in the Park event, there’s a lot happening in our community!
Meet the New SVLAS Board Members
We recently held our AGM and wanted to thank everyone for coming out to support our group. We’re pleased to introduce the newest members of our volunteer board – leaders who bring energy, experience, and a strong commitment to enhancing leisure and outdoor spaces in Symons Valley:
• Susan Lamola – Director at Large
• Shelley Wiart – Director at Large
• Sarah Kromm – Director at Large
We’re excited about what this team will accomplish for our community in the months ahead. We want to thank Chad Rowe and Anandha Arumugam for their efforts in helping our board work towards our goals.
We are also still looking for volunteers to assist us with our fundraising efforts. This is not hard work, but it does take time, and the more people we can get to help us, the easier it is for us to be successful. If this is something that might interest you, please contact us at [email protected].
Grant Applications Submitted/Looking for Partners
SVLAS has been actively pursuing funding through several recent grant applications to support our first goal of building a four-season hockey rink for the site. This includes requesting $500,000 from the City of Calgary and applying for two separate grants from the Province of Alberta that can match up to one million dollars. We have also contacted many developers and other businesses in the area and are hoping to have some of them reach out to contribute to the project. We’re hopeful and will keep the communities informed as decisions are made.
Movie in the Park – September 2025 – Seeking Sponsors and Partners!
We’re bringing the big screen back to the great outdoors this September with our annual Movie in the Park—a fun, free, family-friendly evening under the stars. To make this possible, we’re calling on businesses, community leaders, and individuals to partner with us through sponsorship and donations.
A $750 sponsorship includes:
• Logo placement on event materials and screen.
• Vendor and promo booths at the event.
• Recognition in newsletters and social media.
No contribution is too small. Every dollar helps bring this community event to life and allow us to cover costs!
If you are a business that is interested in joining us, let’s connect by reaching out to [email protected].
Stay connected by following us online on Facebook, visiting our website, or by reaching out anytime with your ideas and questions.
Don’t forget to wear sunblock,
Kris McPherson
President
