Tuxedo Park President’s Message – March

It’s been great to see the park being used again! The slopes may not be the biggest, but my two in-house experts gave two thumbs up to sledding in the park. With summer on its way, this greenspace is sure to be a top pick for picnics and frisbee games. Till then, here are a few things to keep on your radar.

AGM: April 13

Come join us at our Annual General Meeting on April 13 at 7:00 pm in the upper hall (202 29 Ave NE). This is a great opportunity to find out more about the community, Tuxedo Park events and initiatives, and get to know your neighbours.

Do you have questions like the following? “What’s happening with the Tuxedo Park School? When will the storm pond work finally be over? Where are the volleyball courts?” This is the place to ask questions and meet like-minded neighbours.

Make a Difference in Your Neighbourhood

We are looking for keen community members looking to take pride in their neighbourhood. Want to know what’s happening in your area? Consider becoming a director or participating on our committees. Our events and advocacy happen because of engaged members. We are always looking for people to take on director roles or spearhead events and programs. If you’re interested but don’t know where to start, please send me an email, or join us at our general meetings on the second Thursday of the month in the upper hall. If you want to participate or run for a position, make sure your membership is up to date.

Jelly Bean Dances, Spring Festival, and Tuxedo Park School Advocacy

Thanks to all who reached out with ideas or inquiries. We are seeking a few more people to participate in planning and volunteering for these initiatives. Please email [email protected] if you’re interested.

Youth Soccer

Do you have a kid under 6 (U4 and U6) interested in soccer? In Tuxedo Park, we’ve partnered with North Calgary FC. Their program runs May and June at Bottomlands Park (next to Telus Spark). northcalgaryfc.com/juniors for more information and registration.

Casino Volunteers

Our casino is key to the organization continuing to operate in our community. Without it, we would not be able to operate the hall or invest in park projects. We are looking for volunteers to help staff the casino on June 8 and 9 at the Elbow River Casino. If you can help the day of and/or with planning, please contact [email protected].

Wishing you all a wonderful month ahead!
