I am delighted to announce that after two years of work, our new community association elevator is finally in place and operational! This latest addition to our facility isn’t just a simple mode of transport from one floor to the next; it symbolizes our community association’s focus on ensuring that everyone, regardless of age or mobility, can enjoy our community centre to the fullest.
The project would not have been possible without the support of the City of Calgary, Government of Alberta, and our community association staff. Most importantly, this project was made possible by the dedication of Don Boykiw, who has volunteered many hours raising the funds and shepherding the project from start to finish, through countless hurdles along the way.
Our Community Association wants to be an active agent in improving the quality of our neighbourhood, and the elevator project is just one of many projects we have undertaken to make Willow Ridge the best it can be. To continue achieving our mission, we are in desperate need of the visions and contributions of volunteers like Don.
If you want to help, we are specifically looking for volunteers who can:
• Help us ideate and coordinate events. We love hosting events for the community. We have money and a great team to help support event leaders. We need volunteers who can come forward with great event ideas and the ability to lead them. No event is too small!
• Help us raise funds. Our Community Association has a casino on September 26 and 27. This is a very important fundraising event that is vital to our funding, and we truly need people to volunteer to help us with this event.
• Community Party Helpers – Our annual community party is scheduled for September 9, and we need volunteers to help with setup/takedown and other event tasks.
If you are interested in any of these opportunities or another way of volunteering, pop into the community centre for a chat, or connect with me at [email protected].
