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.  Please sign up here: https://winstonheights.getcommunal.com/member/volunteer-opportunities/739
