Join Us for The Pathway Painting Party on Saturday June 5!
We are very excited to add some fun on our community pathways! We identified 10 locations around Riverbend and are looking for five volunteer teams (2 to 3 people each) with a truck to paint colourful activity stencils on the pathways. All supplies will be provided. Each team will have about 90 minutes to paint 5 to 6 stencils in two locations. Great opportunity for some family weekend fun! Sign up via our website www.riverbendcommunity.ca.
Kids Summer Soccer Program
We partnered with SD Serbia Sports Club Association and Calgary Minor Soccer Association to bring the Kids Summer Soccer Program back to Riverbend! Program focuses on soccer skills development, will be run by qualified CMSA coaches and is available to kids age 5 to 15! Please check out all the details and register online at www.riverbendcommunity.ca.
Riverbend All-Season Rink Makeover Project
Our small but mighty team of volunteers has been working hard for the last several months. Even though there’s been no visible changes at the site a lot has happened in the background! We partnered with Three Peaks Consulting who are coordinating engineering design for the project. A geotechnical study of the site has been completed and provided important considerations for the engineering team working on the design drawings for the concrete slab that will replace the current warped asphalt surface. We solicited quotations from many vendors which were needed to submit four grant applications to secure funding for the project. We are hoping to hear back about grant applications by the end of June and are optimistic that construction will be starting later in the summer. Stay tuned for regular project updates.
18th Street Refresh Project
In early April we sent letters to 93 Riverbend residents who own 18th Street fences to ask them to complete a survey whether they are interested in working with other homeowners to get a group quote on painting or reconstructing their fence. We are collecting responses and compiling a contact list. If you own a fence on 18th Street and haven’t completed the survey, we would greatly appreciate your feedback (form.jotform.com/Riverbendyyc/fence-survey)
