Join us for our Annual Community Clean-up! Sunday September 20th, 9:00 a.m. to 2:30 p.m. at the Winston Heights Community Center.

This is an amazing way to do your fall cleaning! All you have to do is come by the Community Centre between the hours of 9:00 a.m. and 2:30 p.m. and drop off anything that you may want to clear out of your house, office, garage, etc.

GEEP, will be on hand to handle any electronics or appliances (no refrigerators) you may need to be rid of. North Hill Bottle Depot will also be on hand. And as always, City of Calgary crews will be there with Two Trucks for Waste and One truck for Organic Waste. That means you can bring by anything their compactor trucks can handle and from what I’ve been told, they can handle just about anything that doesn’t have too much metal in it. So that means, mattresses, book cases, couches, end tables, you name it! And the organic truck can handle exactly that, organic waste like yard waste, compost etc.

For your general information, no batteries (other than car batteries), no chemicals, no paint, no Freon-containing appliances are accepted anywhere other than the firestations.

This service is completely free to all Wintson Heights/Mounview community residents!

We’d like to send a big Thank You to Tony Nicastro, as Nicastro’s Public House will be on hand providing sausages!

Playgroup!

Are you a mom, dad, grandparent or caregiver in the neighbourhood and would like to have a place to go to meet other people and have your children socialize and play with others? Then come and join us at the Winston Heights-Mountview Playgroup held at the Winston Heights-Mountview Community Centre. We have great toys for the kids to play with and this is a great way to get out and meet others. Playgroup is held each Monday morning starting at 10:00 a.m. and lasts to 11:30 a.m (starting up again September 14, 2015).

This is an informal, non-registered playgroup, so no need to sign up, just come out and join us on Monday mornings – we love to meet new families in the neighbourhood!  If you have any questions, or would like more information, please contact Sarah Wiedmer Jarabak at playgroup@winstonheights.ca.

Also, if you’d be interested in having a ‘story time’ during playgroup, please contact me via e-mail. If we have enough interest, I will organize a Calgary Public Library public outreach coordinator to schedule us in for regular story times. They bring books on a specific theme and read a few to the children while guardians quietly visit. The books are even available to be checked out if you bring your library card with you.
