Nose Creek Concerts
We Launch Nose Creek Concerts on February 16th
Nose Creek Concerts is the new name of our Sunday afternoon concert series presenting blues, roots, soul, folk and light rock, accompanied by a simple, light home-cooked meal.
For those who have attended one of our Sunday concerts these past months, we are taking what’s worked best and are launching an ongoing series that brings community together through music and food. We’ll continue to use 3 of our halls and, who knows, maybe we’ll move outside when spring comes around.
Each event will start with a light home-cooked meal which is included in the ticket price. We’ll open the doors at 2PM so there’s ample time to eat and mingle. We’re adding a cash bar. The concert will start at 3PM, there’ll be one intermission and we’ll all be out at 5PM. Your hosts and presenters will continue to be Suzanne Mott from Winston Heights-Mountview Community Association (WHMCA) and Dave Donovan from Calgary House Concerts.
Kirby Sewell Trio on Valentine’s Day Weekend & Family Day Weekend!
The 2025 series will kick off February 16th with a very special treat for Valentine’s Day Weekend and Family Day Weekend – The Kirby Sewell Trio!
The Kirby Sewell Trio will take the stage with a presence that will be as soulful as it will be electric.
Award-winning blues vocalist Kirby Sewell joins Jerry Proppe on piano and Jeff Meszaros on acoustic guitar, blending their voices in harmony to breathe new life into classics. From McCartney’s melodic elegance to Simon’s storytelling, from Clapton’s raw blues to Bowie’s edge, they take audiences on a musical journey that moves from gospel’s rich resonance to New Orleans’ lively streets. With
distinctively original arrangements, this trio promises an afternoon that’s not just music—it’s an experience!
Advance Tickets Can Be Purchased Online – Here and On Our Website
Tickets are $25. Content will be family-friendly and young people 14 and under can attend for free.
There is a 15% discount for WHMCA members. Advance tickets are encouraged (so we can estimate food) and can be purchased online using VISA or Mastercard. Tickets can be purchased at the door as well.

Community Clean Up
Winston Heights-Mountview’s COMMUNITY CLEANUP, in partnership with the City of Calgary Waste & Recycling Services and Community Strategies, is back!
Do some deep fall cleaning, help reduce waste in our landfills, and support your community organization with recyclable donations. The event is FREE to all and everyone in the Calgary area is welcome to participate. Last year, we picked up items from residents who were senior, physically challenged, without a vehicle, or just unable to get to the hall. We plan to do that again this year. Home pick-up is available within Winston Heights-Mountview until list is full. Items must be on 1st floor or in yard and can be carried by 2 volunteers. No pianos. Contact Suzanne at hallmanager@winstonheights.ca or 403-276-5474.
This event is being sponsored by Alberta Recycling Management Authority; every piece of electronic
equipment brought in will raise funds for the community association. Last year, we raised $630. This year, let’s shoot for $1,000.
24 volunteers needed for 3-hour shifts including 2 teams with a pick-up truck. It’s a great way to work with your neighbours. I think most would agree it can be a lot of fun.
Volunteers will not be asked to lift more than they are able. We have a few spots for volunteers with physical limitations. We provide all safety equipment as well as coffee, water, snacks, and lunch. Please sign up HERE by August 31 st to allow us time for planning. If you have questions, you can contact the Event Organizer, Ben McKenzie, through the office at hallmanager@winstonheights.ca.
Join us on Saturday, June 15 beginning at 4.00PM to celebrate 75 years of Winston Heights-Mountview! This year we are pulling out all the stops with Magician Richard Rondeau, DJ Jonathan Yumol, and live music with Rob Mann, field games, arts and crafts, a beer garden, concession and great food! We’ll be holding a 50/50 draw too! You don’t want to miss out!
As an added feature, we’re asking community members to bring along a memento, photograph or any other small item that we can add to the 75th Anniversary Time Capsule. The time capsule will be buried after the event in the Centennial Garden to be opened on the 100th Anniversary of the community. Please drop off your items on the day at the Welcome Tent.
Food and drink tickets will be available for purchase with cash or credit card. 50/50 tickets will be on sale for cash only. Kids under 12 eat for free. All proceeds to benefit community events and programming.
Volunteers will be needed to make this event a success, so please consider donating your time by signing up for a shift. Perks of volunteering include: a dedicated lounge space complete with drinks and snacks and complimentary dinner provided by +39 Pizza Pasta Bar.
