WEEDERS WANTED
“IN THE SPRING, AT THE END OF THE DAY, YOU SHOULD SMELL LIKE DIRT.”
MARGARET ATWOOD
If you are willing to smell like dirt, if only for a little while, please come and join us on Tuesdays at 10:30am to help weed, prune and add mulch to the Centennial Garden. The Garden is in need of a little attention, and some WHMCA members have committed to beating the weeds and over growth into submission.
Many hands make light work so come out and help if you can.

The third Friday of every month (September – June) at 6pm, the WHMCA hosts a family-friendly pot luck dinner. All community residents are welcome to attend. Bring a dish to share and anything special you might like to drink (coffee, tea, juice and water are provided) and come on out to meet your neighbours for some great food and ever better company and conversation.
There are toys and activities for children and it’s a great opportunity to meet new neighbours and friends.
If you’ve not yet made it out to the potluck but would like to attend, please come by. If you want more information, please contact Darla at potluck@winstonheights.ca.

We’ve had several community members inquiring about shared interests and if anyone had a Club/Group organized. An example of an existing club is the Book Club, however there is the potential for many more!
If you’d like to start a club/group and get your information out there, let us know! Some ideas that have been put forward are, knitting, sewing, running and photography.
Let us know if you are interested in anything and we can help connect you!
