August in Deer Ridge brings with it the second half of summer – let’s give it all we’ve got and have a little fun before the cooler nights and anticipation of fall arrive.
Movie in the Park
Yellow Slide Park will once again be the venue for our popular, free, Movie in the Park night on August 19. Bring your friends and family, or come on your own, for hotdogs and activities for young and old alike. Remember to bring your blanket or chairs, some bug spray, and your sense of fun, and be prepared to be amazed and entertained at this great community evening.
Board Members
The June 2023 Deer Ridge AGM included board elections and as promised, we have an update for you. Board member terms are usually for two years, with only half of the terms ending in any given year. This ensures continuity on the board and that there are always board members to whom you can turn, even during elections.
We have two changes to tell you about this year. We would like to extend:
A great big thank you to Mr. John Life for his service as our 2nd Vice President over the last two years. John’s thoughtful contributions to our deliberations will be missed.
A huge welcome to Ms. Sheree Filipovic, who has joined the board as Director at Large. We look forward to working with Sheree on our usual activities and maybe a few exciting new ones to come.
Board Meetings
Our community association board meetings resume in September. More information to follow regarding when and where to join us, so you can learn more about what’s going on in your community, provide your insights, and get answers to all of your great questions.
Community Association Membership
It’s that time again! Our Deer Ridge Community Association Membership drive happens in August – get your 2023-24 membership now! Just $15 per household gets you a say in what happens in your community, and the opportunity to help create and sustain the vibrancy and vitality of our neighbourhood.
Your membership fees help to provide and sustain the amenities of the community – the playgrounds, parks, rinks, tennis courts, pickle ball courts, and yes, even the portable potties.
Your membership entitles you to hear what’s going on in your community firsthand at our board meetings. It entitles you to have a say in what amenities are added, what the community response should be to proposed developments or City of Calgary initiatives, when we might want solar powered LED radar speed signs put up in our neighbourhood, etc., as these initiatives are debated in our board meetings.
Please consider becoming a Deer Ridge Community Association member – we welcome your valuable input.
