Bring your yoga mat if you have one, if not, we have some mats at the hall we can loan you for the class. Yoga blocks will be provided.
Bring a friend if you wish and we will see you there.
As announced last year the Rink Rejuvenation subcommittee has been working tirelessly to secure new rink boards and netting for the 2019-2020 season. We are pleased to announce that they have completed the goal and in addition, we’re able to contract the regrading and sodding of the field (you may have seen work being done in the past couple of weeks).
The new rink boards will be delivered on Oct. 28th and set up will happen that day as well. The Rink Committee is looking for volunteers to assist that day with unloading and to learn the new set-up procedure. If we are short on volunteers we will continue set-up on Oct 29th.
This year the Rink Committee will be offering a new grassroots hockey program. The program is called Grassroots Hockey League. it will take place on WEDNESDAY evenings and all details and sign-up information can be found on their webpage: http://grassrootshockey.ca.
Stay tuned for details about other initiatives.

The City of Calgary is undertaking the planning of the large 22-acre site located in Winston Heights-Mountview on the northeast corner of 16 Avenue N.E./Moncton Road N.E.
The concept and outline plans that come out of these planning efforts will identify design details such as the location of the roads, pathways and green space, as well as what will be built on the site such as types of housing and commercial buildings.
We are currently in the first phase of this project and are seeking input from adjacent communities, stakeholders, potential future residents/businesses and the public on:
Evaluation criteria that will be used to assess concept options
Priorities and ideas for the site
Planning elements such as neighbourhood character, access to and travel within the site, and housing types
Join us at an upcoming interactive open house to learn more about this project and to share your ideas and input with the project team.
