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.

Are you looking to expand your interpersonal and web skills and meet some of the great neighbours in your community?  The WHMCA would like you to fill the role of Volunteer Coordinator.  This volunteer role will require about 2-6 hours per month and will involve the following:

• Work with the Community Relations chair and the event and program co-ordinators to find volunteers to assist on the event and program days.
• Upcoming events include the Community Cleanup and Santa Breakfast.
• Use the Communal website to determine which community members have shown interest in volunteering for events.
• Reach out personally to community members to engage them in volunteering.

Training will be included.  The Volunteer Co-ordinator will need to use their own computer.

If you are interested, please contact Carolyn Slipp at communications@winstonheights.ca.

TIM WILLIAMS
CANADIAN BLUES & ROOTS ARTIST – A producer/performer on four JUNO-nominated projects.
Tim Williams is a favourite local icon. His 36-year career and constant work in the Calgary music industry
is inspirational for so many. We are very excited to be able to share an afternoon with a local celebrity
who has been such a key builder of the music scene in Calgary and a huge part of developing live spaces
that we enjoy today. https://timwilliamsblues.ca/

PAUL PIGAT
Dave Donovan of Calgary House Concerts says that Paul Pigat is arguably the best guitar player in town –
and competitive in the national and international scenes as well. While he has a degree in classical music
and music theory, he has devoted himself to a different vibe. With his various ensembles, including
Cousin Harley and the Smoking Jackets, he has carved out a very respectable career creating great music
drawing from just about every genre of popular music – jazz, blues, rockabilly and more. Blessed with a
jazz man’s sheen, a rockabilly heart and a hobo’s soul, there aren’t many genres of music that don’t pull
at Pigat’s wayfaring imagination like a magnet. https//paulpigat.com/.

Community Cleanup events save residents a trip to the landfill for items that do not fit in their waste carts or residents who do not have access to cart service. We supply three packer trucks with crews, funds for advertising and promotion, face coverings, sanitizer, gloves, and garbage bags for the group of community volunteers. This service is free of charge to all Calgarians. All Community Cleanup events occur on Saturdays and Sundays throughout Calgary. Spring season will begin on the last weekend on April 27/28 and go through to June 29/30.

The Fall Session will start on September 7/8, and end on September 28/29.  Some Community Cleanup Events will be available over the summer with limited availability. Please check each Community’s website for more information regarding their specific event.

Winston Heights Mountview – September 15, 2024

For the full schedule, please visit www.calgary.ca/cleanups

ERIN ROSS and KIMBERLEY MACGREGOR will perform on Sunday, July 21 in the East Hall of the main building. The show starts at 3pm with a chance to talk with neighbours over Dave’s surprise home-made snack at 2:30pm.

ERIN ROSS has been playing a confident mix of roots music for many years from her home base in Calgary.  In February 2024 she released her first full-length album.  The Wind Will Lead Me Home is an assured, nine song collection that shows Ross’ command of the bedrock strains of roots, including
blues, folk, rock and roll and jazz.

To learn more and hear Erin’s music, go to www.erinross.ca

KIMBERLEY MACGREGOR is a reformed bank manager. In 2013, she realized she was doing a successful job living someone else’s life – and a poor job living her own. That year, she launched her original songs into the world and took centre stage.

She has since released three full-length albums, and was awarded Female Artist of the Year at
both the 2015 and 2016 Edmonton Music Awards. In 2022, she relocated to Vancouver Island.
Kimberley lovingly crafts and passionately performs songs that will move your heart, change your mind and stomp your feet. Weaving seamlessly between blues, folk and rock, her common threads are strength, vulnerability and badassery, always sizzling with soul.

If you are so inclined, we are always grateful to accept a non-perishable item for The Veterans Food Bank.
