Signal Hill’s President’s Message for November

Budgets are set. We are now focusing on our AGM, which is on November 26. We will hold the AGM at the Westside Recreation Centre in their Education Center. We are also working on having an online option for attendance. Check out our website for updated details.

Last year, we opened the use of the rink for more recreational activity. For many seasons, Pedalheads has operated a bicycle training course with great success. Another successful advent was the introduction of pickleball during the summer season. Residents are also seeing different uses for the rink (i.e. ball hockey). That’s wonderful! As an association, I encourage all to think of ways that you could use our site for your events. I just checked the calendar on the website, and things are pretty well open until of course, snow arrives. What about events around the gazebo or pathways that are above the rink? We are always open to exploring opportunities with you and finding different ways in which our shared space can be used for your activities.

Usually, I put in a plug about the volunteers that we need for the board, but as you probably noticed in the banner, we also need volunteers for specific events. We have two casino nights coming up, and while Gord, our Fund Director has many already lined up, he has room for more. Reach out to him at [email protected] and he will provide you with the details you need to secure a volunteer shift.

To advocate on behalf of the community, a number of board members attend meetings that we have been invited to. Sometimes we observe and/or remain neutral, and other times, we need to be more active. Much of that depends on the level of community involvement and what you have passed onto us. Really a community association should be a mirror of the entire community. We take this role very seriously, so if you see me or another board member attending the same event you are at – take a moment to come and pass along your feelings as to how our community is doing in providing a safe, livable, and caring community.

As always, you can reach me at [email protected] or [email protected].
