Community Hall Updates
Our community hall is sort-of open at the current time. The regular preschool is operating, and small gatherings/meetings are being booked as long as the groups follow our COVID-19 guidelines. Those guidelines primarily focus on appropriate social distancing, wearing of masks, and no shared food or drink. Our main room can accommodate groups of 25 to 30, depending upon chair layout, for things like AGMs. We will always adhere to Provincial and Civic requirements for gatherings and will update our policies as these change over time. We have altered our cleaning policies to make sure our spaces are safe for all.
Play Basketball While the Weather Cooperates
Our basketball hoops are currently adorned with new-ish netting. There seems to have been a marked increase in the number of players this summer. Get out and use the hoops while you can. The nets tend not to be very resilient in Calgary winters!
New Rink Volunteers Needed
Another of our most popular activities near the community hall area is the skating rink in the winter. Our rink shelter, Melrose Place, has made putting on skates easier and more comfortable. Last year, we had a particularly long season with well-paced weather. We have a dedicated team of rink volunteers who clean and flood the rink under the cover of darkness (although, not too stealthily thanks to the lights). We can always use some additional hands to assist. Please let us know if you have some time to help keep up the ice through the cold months.
