to ‘see’ what’s been happening in the Winston Heights-Mountview community (tag your community pictures with #whmca so we can all share in the fun).Ice Rinks Now Open!
Bring out your skates! Haul out your hockey equipment! It’s time to enjoy the best of winter!
The central ice rink and the skating oval at the WHMCA community hall are now open! Not only that, the Adopt-A-Rink in the park on Marsden Road is open also! Both rinks are available for free skating any time of day. Hockey can also be played on the central ice rink at the community hall. Both rinks will be lit for use in the evenings until 10:30 pm.
The central ice rink at the community hall has been reserved for the following activities each week starting in January:
Mondays – 6 – 9 pm Brownies
Tuesdays – 6 – 9 pm Grassroots Hockey
Fridays – 3 – 6 pm Girls Ringette
Saturdays – 1 – 3 pm Free Skate For All (non-hockey)
The oval will still be open for skating at these times.
Please be aware that the rinks will be closed on occasion to permit flooding of the ice, and also to clear snow. When necessary, parts of the rinks may be roped off with orange pylons if there are problems with the ice.
Many thanks are due to Stacy Nephin and his team for getting the community hall rinks up and running this year. Thanks also to Craig Baskett for setting up and maintaining the Marsden Road Adopt-A-Rink. We will post a full list of people to thank shortly.
This is the Calgary Police Service with a PCAP message for the communities of Crescent Hts., Bridgeland, Renfrew, & Winston Heights-Mountview.
The Calgary Police Service would like to advise that there has recently been an unusual increase in residential break and enters in the communities of Crescent Heights, Bridgeland, Renfrew and Winston Heights-Mountview.
Entry to homes was gained by shouldering or prying front and back doors. Jewelry, electronic devices, and cash were taken. In one instance, entry was gained by using a key believed to have been left in a car ignition. Two guitars were stolen from this home, and culprits left in the stolen vehicle that has since been recovered with no visible damages.

At the recent Membership Pancake Breakfast we premièred our newest project, a music video for Clea Roddick’s song “Neighbour”. The video stars the people and places of Winston Heights-Mountview and we couldn’t be more proud of the outcome.
The idea for the video came from board member Sarah Arthurs who had heard Clea’s song one day on CBC Radio and was struck by the lyrics, specifically the phrase “how will we make it through the ages when we don’t even know the neighbours?” She came to the next board meeting with the suggestion about making a music video featuring our community. The board loved the idea and agreed to help fund it. The next thing you knew, Clea was on board, The Calgary Foundation had agreed to redirect some leftover project funds, and the production company Fresh and Smoked was brainstorming ideas with community members. Quickly after that filming started and the video below is the outcome.
We’re proud of our neighbourhood and our neighbours and we’re happy to share that enthusiasm with the world. Enjoy!
