Each guest will receive a sample bottle of Gnu’s multi-award-winning Gnu Normal London Dry Gin to take home, the recipes for their Gnu “go-to” cocktails, as well as a five-piece bar set. This is sure to be an informative and fun evening that you do not want to miss! Visit www.acadia.community/programs to register.
Youth Drop-in Program
In June, we tested the waters for a youth drop-in program at the ARC. We are going to pick this concept back up in September with the intent of providing our community’s youth demographic a safe and fun place to go for positive engagement and to make friends. If you have ideas for theme nights or activities, please let us know by emailing [email protected].
June was Bike Month
Thanks to everyone who rolled out to celebrate Bike Month in Calgary! A special thank you to the volunteers who dedicated their time to make this event possible. We want to give a loud shout out to Bike Calgary for coordinating this event across Calgary. We also want to thank all our sponsors who contributed prizes for the raffle, we greatly appreciate your donations. To our local businesses, Ami-Tea, Energize Health, Good Bread, Trico Centre for Family Wellness, and the Alberta Tennis Centre, thank you for participating by being a hot-spot for our local scavenger hunt!
Neighbour Day Was a Blast!
What a day we had celebrating the good neighbours of Acadia! It was so fun to see your lovely faces and participate in the city-wide observance of the neighbours who make our city what it is. Thank you to the residents of Ashley Crescent who banded together to garner up the support needed amongst neighbours to host this year’s event. It was a close race and was incredible to see seven streets in Acadia nominated to host!
We greatly appreciate the vendors and local makers who participated in our mini market, our local talent who provided live music, and to all our volunteers who make this event possible. Our community is fortunate to have your love and support and we’re looking forward to doing this again next year!
