* All Welcome – Hope to see you there *
Our community was nominated as one of Calgary’s top neighborhoods in the August issue of Avenue Magazine. We are listed as # 24, ahead of neighborhoods such as Sunnyside and Crescent Heights. Not bad when you consider there are 183 communities in Calgary.
We made it into the following categories:
The Community Association is working hard to do our part to put the amenities and programs in place to see if we can’t place even higher on the list next year!
Due to popular demand, the BBQ dinner will be open to all ages so bring the kids if you’d like. The adult-only dance starts at 9 p.m.
Tickets can still be purchased for the June 25 event, which will be held at the Winston Heights – Mountview Community Hall at 520 27th Ave NE.
Community association members can buy a ticket for $15, which includes steak dinner and admission to the dance. Non-members still get a great deal at $20. Email Lenore at lpeaton@shaw.ca before June 18!
You may have noticed the new playground that was constructed last week in the park at the corner of 7th Street and 22nd Avenue NE. The new playground equipment was put together over two and half days from Thursday, June 2nd to Saturday, June 4th with help from a large number of volunteers from the Winston Heights-Mountview community, PCL (Poole Construction Ltd.), and even from other neighbourhoods! The large playground structure is the first of its kind in Western Canada!
The Playground Committee would like to thank all of the volunteers who helped out during construction. The committee would also like to thank those who volunteered for Saturday and Sunday but didn’t get a chance to do any work since the construction went so quickly and smoothly!
However, the playground is not quite done yet! We are waiting for the City of Calgary to deliver the pea gravel to fill in the playground site. This will occur sometime in the next two weeks. After the gravel is delivered we will need volunteers to spread the gravel with rakes and shovels around all of the equipment. Even the kids can help! If you would like to do this please email playground@winstonheights.ca or phone Shannon at 403-245-3832.
Until the gravel is in place please do not enter the playground!
Pull out your western duds a little early this year and rustle up your friends and neighbours for the Stampede Warm-up Barbecue and Dance.
Tickets are now available for the June 25 event, to be held the Winston Heights – Mountview Community Hall at 520 27th Ave NE.
Community association members can buy a ticket for $15, which includes steak dinner and admission to the dance. Non-members still get a great deal at $20. Email Lenore at lpeaton@shaw.ca before June 18.
The saloon opens at 6 p.m., and our expert grilling team will start serving up top sirloin steaks at 7 p.m. Round out your plate with baked potatoes, Caesar salad and our best ‘home on the range’ baked beans recipe. Don’t forget to save room for dessert while you sit back and enjoy a square dance demonstration, presented by a local club.
The DJ will spin some heel-kickin’ music beginning at 9 p.m. You can also try your luck at a few games like Hat stompin’ or wild horse races to win great prizes from our generous local sponsors!
Mark your calendar for a great evening out. We hope to see y’all there.
