We’re participating in The City of Calgary’s Talking City project, helping Calgarians learn about City of Calgary services in a unique way. Through automated text messages, you can talk with over 100 select City services – including our own community centre!
The City is launching public engagement for the 2023-2026 Service Plans and Budgets, a roadmap for how they deliver services to citizens and the financial plan to support their actions. As part of this project, Talking City uses automated text messages to enable you to “talk” with select light poles, bus stops, public art pieces, swimming pools and more. The personified object will tell you an interesting fact about the City service it provides and encourage you to share what’s important to you about that service.
Look for locations on the map at calgary.ca/talkingcity. Simply text the keyword on the sign you find at the location listed to the phone number indicated to begin the conversation. Learn more at calgary.ca/yourservices.
Come connect with your neighbors and have some fun learning the basics of Nordic pole walking. You will learn more about the proper pole walking techniques that will enhance core, balance, posture and confidence.

Once again, it’s time to comb through your garage and purge your garden shed of that never-used stuff. Community Cleanup events run from April through September to help keep our city clean and safe while also saving residents a trip to the landfill. These popular events are hosted by community associations with support from Calgary Community Standards and Waste & Recycling at The City.
City garbage trucks do not pick up large, bulky items like sofas or mattresses on their regular runs. If these items cannot be donated because of their condition (dirty, worn out), then they can be taken to a neighbourhood Community Clean-up event or taken to the City landfill. A metals recycler and an e-waste recycler have been booked for the event. You should note that certain items cannot be accepted at the Community Cleanups such as:
Car batteries
Glass (e.g. window panes, glass table tops)
Household appliances with Freon (e.g. refrigerators, freezers)
Microwaves
Liquids (e.g. cooking oils)
Large metal items (e.g. lawnmowers, barbeques)
Railway ties
Sod or dirt
Household hazardous waste including
Propane tanks
Paint
Automobile, cleaning, healthcare, and gardening chemicals

Our community centre, with its adjoining gardens and playground are the heart of our community. The centennial garden is the beautiful flower garden in front of our community centre and we are recruiting for our Centennial Garden Care Team. This garden was designed and developed on the 100th anniversary of our community and is maintained by community volunteers. Over the years there have been a few changes to improve the space and to lighten the workload. We have a sprinkler system and that has helped our plants to survive and thrive. We have some amazing volunteers who have done so much work to get the garden to the place it is at today. We are so grateful.
Most recently we were successful in obtaining the Shell Fueling Kindness grant and obtained a very generous donation from Linda Sharp in honour of her parents who lived in this community before her. Thank you Linda and Shell Canada. We have used these funds to obtain and install a beautiful picnic table and two benches which will welcome you the next time you are in the garden.
We have organized an adopt-a-garden-section program. We need additional volunteers who can adopt a small piece of the garden to keep it weed-free. By breaking the garden into smaller sections it will not be so overwhelming as you only have to focus on your area and you can count on your team members to do the same for theirs. Each section would be about 7 feet by 3 feet (that’s about the size of one of the garden beds in our community garden). You can take on a section yourself or together with a friend. If you are looking for a smaller section, don’t hesitate, we welcome all helping hands.
Adopted as from one rock and another, from a rock to a tree, from rock to sidewalk…no matter how small, we welcome you.
