Dear SCA Community,
In the spirit of Thanksgiving, we want to take a moment to express our gratitude for our community members and neighbours who make Strathcona, Christie Park, and Aspen the top communities in Calgary. As we continue to grow and thrive, we are reminded of the importance of strength and support—both in the physical structures that house our community gatherings and in the relationships that bind us together.
During the summer months, we learned that one of the pillars holding up our community association building was compromised. This was due to years of use; how we see it, the pillar has been integral in creating memories for our community. Many have had weddings, birthday parties, and social dances here, while others have tried a new activity like Pilates or computer skills. And let’s not forget the many young bright minds who start their educational care at Seedlings, A Childs’ Garden, Kidz Inc. and many, many more. This pillar, much like our community, symbolizes the strength and support that keeps us standing tall year after year. In collaboration with the City of Calgary, our community association building has undergone repair.
In the same spirit, we invite you to join us in strengthening our community by becoming a part of the Board of Directors. Our board plays a vital role in guiding the direction of our community, ensuring that we continue to be a place where everyone can feel supported, heard, and uplifted. We are currently seeking passionate and dedicated individuals to fill various roles on the board. Whether your strengths lie in leadership, organization, communication, or community outreach, there is a place for you to make a meaningful impact.
We also want to shine a special spotlight on our Treasurer, Geoff Kalyniuk, who has been working tirelessly behind the scenes to update and streamline our association’s business side. His efforts and unwavering dedication have been instrumental in securing grants that directly contribute to the ongoing support of our community, including structural repair. His dedication ensures that our financial foundation is as strong as the pillars that hold up our building. We’d also like to thank Pascal Siewe who served as the Director of Events and Vice President for his commitment and service to the community.
Just as our building’s pillar is being reinforced to support the weight of our shared spaces, we invite you to consider how you can help support the weight of our community’s future. By joining the board, you will be contributing to the stability and growth of our neighbourhood, ensuring that it remains a vibrant, welcoming place for all. Please contact [email protected] for more information.
We look forward to continuing to build a stronger community together.
