Become a Member of the Winston Heights-Mountview Community Association!

(please note the membership year runs from April 1 – March 31)

We would like to invite you to renew or purchase your membership for 2020/2021!  For the coming year, we have implemented a new optional $10 membership fee.

The community association wants to ensure all Winston Heights-Mountview residents have memberships, so we would like to offer to anyone who might be struggling during these difficult times an “opt-out” option for this year’s fee.

It’s important that all members of the community have access to the resources available to them and membership allows us to keep you in the loop about what’s happening in the neighbourhood!

Your community association does many things for you:

• Hosts community engagement events such as the Neighbour Day BBQ, Community Recycling Day and the Santa Claus Breakfast

• Works with the City to comment on proposed developments and to address traffic issues

• Keeps you informed about your neighbourhood via eNewsletter, website, and social media

• Maintains the community hall, which includes four rentable halls, basketball hoops, gardens and the hockey rink for your use

Our biggest achievement in the past year was replacing the rink boards, which was done by the dedicated work of amazing community volunteers!

Benefits of membership include:

• Discounts or free admission to community events or programs

• The opportunity to have your voice heard on issues affecting the neighbourhood

• Discounted rates for hall rentals

To join the Winston Heights-Mountview Community Association (for the 2020/2021 year) please complete this form.

Please Note:

As a result of the hall closure due to the provincial state of emergency, memberships & payments will be processed online.  

Our AGM has been postponed, please stay tuned for updated information.

Thank you and stay safe!

Are you curious about the possibility of being part of a
new cohousing neighbourhood in Winston Heights-Mountview?

30 households are wanted for a Focus Group for
The Munro Cohousing Project on April 27at 7:00 pm
Please register here. https://bit.ly/2VHg0tw

Introduction
Cohousing communities are intentional, collaborative neighbourhoods that combine extensive common facilities with private homes to create strong and successful housing developments. Cohousing is not a financial or legal model, but rather a descriptive term that shows the intent of these developments to cultivate a strong sense of community through extensive common facilities and active collaboration of the residents.

Prairie Sky Cohousing
Did you know that for 16 year Prairie Sky Cohousing, Calgary’s  original cohousing project, has been quietly creating an oasis of neighbourliness on the corner of 30 Ave NE and Edmonton Trail?  Also, the best gardens on Edmonton Trail!

The Munro Cohousing Project
Cohousing Connections is working with a team of local professionals to explore the appetite for a cohousing project at 502, 508, 512 -17 Ave NE.
What an amazing location! Across from an amazing park, close to a wonderful off-leash area, bike paths, groceries, recreation center, schools, pubs and the highway out of town!  The image above is from previous work done on the site and is shared as inspiration! The founding group of cohousing owners will participate in the design of this new project.

Good news for budding gardeners… there are a small number of beds in our community garden that have come available for 2020!

In past years, the garden has always been fully subscribed well before it’s time to start planting, so those hoping to join our garden will want to reserve their beds now. If you have a yearning to get your hands dirty, now is the time to book your spot.

As always, gardeners need to hold a valid WHMCA membership, and the cost of a bed is $50.00 annually.  Gardeners also make a commitment of six hours of volunteer time over the course of the season, tending to the communal areas of the garden.

Payments can be emailed to communitygarden@winstonheights.ca, or dropped off at the hall. (Security question for emailed payments is “In what city do we live?”)

“Gardening requires a lot of water… most of it in the form of perspiration” Lou Erickson

Under the current circumstances and with the health and safety of the community in mind we have chosen to cancel this event.
