Music in the Park Is Here!
This is a final reminder to join us for Music in the Park, a wonderful way to celebrate the end of summer! The event will be held on Saturday, September 6, from 3:00 to 7:00 pm. Please bring a chair or blanket and meet us at the park for a fantastic lineup of live music, a beer/wine garden, and delicious food from Calgary’s finest food trucks. We can’t wait to see you there! We’d like to extend a huge thank you to our amazing sponsors who make this event possible:
Title Sponsor: David Pellettier, RE/MAX First

Memberships
A friendly reminder that the annual DRCA memberships expired on August 31. If you haven’t already, please renew your membership online at: www.discoveryridge.com/membership. The membership year runs from September 1 to August 31.
We are incredibly fortunate to have a dedicated group of volunteers on our DRCA board and various committees. In addition to many other initiatives, the DRCA:
• Maintains the ice rinks, tennis and pickleball courts, and the Rec Facility Green Space.
• Represents DR community concerns and initiatives and collaborates with the City of Calgary, Province of Alberta, and all levels of elected representatives when required.
• Organizes special events for residents to come together and enjoy – such as Stampede Roundup and Music in the Park.
• Provides communication channels for our community (the Ridge Review newsletter, website, Facebook, Instagram, X (Twitter), members-only email notices, and mail-outs).
Did You Know?
A major portion of the DRCA operating funds goes towards insurance policies and mandatory not-for-profit annual financial audits. The fixed costs for community associations are a huge commitment. Your membership matters!
The City of Calgary considers the percentage of residents who are members of their community association when the association advocates for community-related concerns, such as traffic, environmental concerns, zoning, and residential developments surrounding our area. Without a critical mass of active members, it becomes increasingly challenging to effectively represent community concerns with City Council. Your membership matters!
Our current membership is less than 50%. Our goal is to have 70% of the 1,650 Discovery Ridge households with a current membership so the DRCA can represent our community with a stronger voice. Please support your DRCA!
