The West Springs Cougar Ridge Community Association hosted the annual Santa Claus event on December 2, 2023, at West Springs Church, with approximately 400 community members in attendance. Thanks to the wonderful weather, we were able to offer horse-drawn wagon rides and host the cutest critters from Butter Field Acres, with the most popular critter being the miniature piglet!
Live music was provided by the West Springs Church Choir and piano music by the talented Eleanor Benterud.
Little ones enjoyed interactive performances by the Christmas Elves, who told stories and got them up dancing and singing throughout the afternoon! Participants also enjoyed wonderful and interactive displays set up by the students and staff at the Calgary French and International School and took part in STEM activities provided by Code Ninjas West Springs.
Participants got to enjoy Christmas crafts, Santa letter writing, Christmas cookies, and hot chocolate. Especially important for the season, families were able to visit with Santa and Mrs. Claus, and have their visit professionally photographed.
A big thank you to our sponsors for supporting our event: West Springs Church, Lara Mitchell Real Estate, the Calgary French and International School, and Code Ninjas West Springs.
A huge shout out to the WSCRCA Santa Claus Event Committee and the numerous volunteers who generously donated their time. Without your enthusiasm and support, we would not have been able to host this amazing event!
