Community Beautification Updates
Garbage Can Wraps
We were successful in securing a Community Standards Grant from the City of Calgary in support of community beautification. Thanks to this funding, 28 garbage cans around our community are undergoing extreme makeover. Have you been able to spot any of the beautiful designs? 
Community Hub Gathering Space
We received approval for funding from the City of Calgary Inspiring Neighbourhoods Grant. Ten colourful low maintenance picnic tables were added around the rink area. With lots of all-season amenities in this area, we are positive that this will further encourage residents to gather, socialize, connect, and be neighbourly. The new picnic tables will be a great addition for outdoor events such as YYC Food Truck Fridays, birthday parties, picnics, family gatherings, etc.
Finally, to complete our all-season rink makeover project, basketball and pickleball court lines were added to the rink. 
Facility Upgrades
New Accessible Front Door
Thanks to our successful application with Employment and Social Development Canada – Enabling Accessibility Fund, we replaced the front doors to the community centre and added wave activated accessibility buttons. We are happy that the community centre is now more accessible for everyone, including those with mobility limitations as well as families with little children.
