The Winston Heights-Mountview Refugee Response (WHMRR) invites you and your family to a fundraiser for the Syrian family supported by so many wonderful residents of the Winston Heights-Mountview community. All of the proceeds of the fundraiser will go to the family’s significant upcoming expenses. Please take this opportunity to meet our wonderful newcomer family!
The fundraiser will take place at the WHMCA Hall on May 26 2017 with a buffet style dinner of traditional Syrian food served from 5:30-8:30 pm. Tickets are $20, but children 12 and under can join and eat for free. Alcoholic beverages will be available for purchase at the event.
Thank you to the community of Winston Heights-Mountview for your ongoing support for this worthwhile cause. We look forward to seeing you at the dinner!

More Sports
We offer sport-specific classes in addition to our renowned early-years multi-sport programs, and we’ve recently integrated semi-competitive classes and fitness programs for older children.

Ball, racquet or net: our expertly coached, skill-based programs are designed to promote physical literacy and build self-confidence, so every kid can get in the game – and stay in the game.
More Fun
We know that kids learn best when they’re having fun, and kids have fun when they’re at the top of their own game. That’s why we’re passionate about keeping the play in ball!

Sweeper Stolen from the Winston Heights-Mountview Community Association Rink
At approximately 5am on Saturday January 14, 2017 a sweeper (Ariens 24” sweeper, model 920014 with an NCE Enterprises Inc. decal) was stolen from the Winston Heights-Mountview Community Association Rink. This is used by community volunteers to help clear the ice at the outdoor rink. The Calgary Police Service has been notified but any information to track down the sweeper would be great!
In the bottom picture you can see a stock photo of the sweeper. Additionally, we have included 2 pictures from our security cameras, of a black truck of interest, driving into and then leaving the storage area:
Above: Truck driving in with decal clearly visible.
Below: Truck driving out, with what appears to be the sweeper in question high lighted in red.
If you have any information you can contact us directly at 403-681-9142 or by email: communications@winstonheights.ca or reach out to the Calgary Police Service: 403-266-1234

Playgroup!
I would like to thank all the moms, dads, grandparents and caregivers who make our playgroup a cozy entertaining and fun place to be with our little ones! We recently grew the toy collection at the community centre to make the children’s experience that much more exciting. Please come and check it out every Monday morning from 10:00 a.m. – 11:30 a.m.
There will be a Christmas break from Dec. 23rd – Jan. 8th. We will pick up playgroup starting on Jan.9th.
We would also like to inform you that we plan on doing a regular ‘deep cleaning’ on the toys. We would really appreciate any of you who join us regularly to lend a helping hand. The cleanings will occur partially during the playgroup hours and on the second Monday of each month.
We thank you in advance for supporting the playgroup and our fabulous community!
If you have any questions, or would like more information, please contact Sarah at playgroup@winstonheights.ca.

Looking for feedback
Currently we have 7 sandwich boards. We are looking at replacing them, but before we do, we would love some feedback regarding location placement!
We are looking for a list of locations that would be suitable or better suited than the current locations. Suggest as many as you would like (current locations may still be the best spots, but we want to know what you think)!
