Hello Neighbours!
The holiday season is fast approaching and the Elves at MLCA are already planning the Christmas Family Party slated for December 7. Santa will be there with a gift for every registered child 12 and under. Due to the popularity of this event, it is split into two time frames as well. Purchase your tickets for the earlier portion from 4:00 to 6:00 pm or for the later party from 6:30 to 8:30 pm. Visit mckenzielakecommunity.com to purchase your tickets but don’t hesitate as this party sells out quickly.
MLCA is hosting a Christmas Market on December 7, 2024 between 10:00 am and 3:00 pm in the gymnasium. Come out to the market and support the local businesses in your community. There are always really interesting and unique gifts available for your friends and family at our market place.
MLCA will be selling Christmas trees once again this year. Please visit our website at www.mckenzielakecommunity.com.

Come play pickleball on Tuesday and Wednesday mornings from 9:30 am to 12:30 pm. Only $50 for ten plays! Purchase your game card and once all ten games are stamped you get your 11th game free! Visit the office to purchase your card today! Make note that there is no pickleball on April 26, May 17, May 20, and June 10, 2025. See you on the courts.
Are you looking to socialize your kids with other families in the community? Our Mom and Tots program might be right for you. Visit MLCA Thursday mornings from 10:00 am to 12:00 pm during the school year. Enjoy a coffee, tea, or hot chocolate while the kids take over the gym. The kids love it, and they know this is “jumpy-jumpy” time in our bouncy house. Our drop-in fee is only $5 per family! So come on out and socialize with other parents too!
Have an upcoming special event but no idea where to host it? The MLCA gymnasium can be transformed into a beautiful space for any special event or themed party. You can also rent the gym for athletic use such as floor hockey, soccer, volleyball, or pickleball. Host a memorable party and for an additional $50 add on the bouncy house. Our light strike game can be added as well for an additional $100. You might also want to inquire about our movie screen to host your own movie party. The ideas are endless at MLCA! The rental fee includes a warming kitchen and tables with chairs for up to 200 guests! Members only pay $75 per hour and non-members pay $85 per hour.
The temperature has been dropping and we will be hard at work preparing the outdoor rink for your skating pleasure. A skate sharpening service will be added this year for a nominal fee. The rink will be available for party rental as well! The fee is only $50 per hour and includes the use of the skate shack to warm up in and for a place to enjoy food and snacks you want to supply. Contact the office to book your event and to check in when the ice will be ready.
