Riverbend Fall Fair – Thank You!
Thank you to everyone who came to shop at the Riverbend Fall Fair. We had a wonderful variety of local vendors as well as yummy food from YYCFoodtrucks.
We are very grateful for all the support from 77th East Glenmore Scout Group with the venue set up and tear down. Thank you to all volunteers from Heritage Lions and Little Steps for checking COVID-19 vaccination records at the doors to ensure our event was safe for the community. Last but not least, huge thank you to Tammie Voisin-Best, Volunteer Event Lead, for organizing all the details of the event!

Results Highlights – 2021 Community Engagement Survey
After spending significant time on analysis of the results, we are excited to share key findings with the community. We obtained a representative sample for ages 24 years and older and the response rate of 3% (which is much higher than the typical expected rate of 1 to 2%). RCA will use the results to inform our upcoming strategic planning as well as prioritize future activities.
Please see the newsletter for a detailed infographic with results.
