In this feature, we continue to get to know our neighbours and those who volunteer to help make Glendale a great place to live. This month, we are pleased to introduce Mike Sander. Mike has lived with his family in Glendale for six years, “after a long search for the right spot!”. According to Mike, the right spot includes awesome neighbours, and a great mix of density and green space.
Mike’s family has been part of life at the community hall via the community preschool, so they took the next step to attend the 2023 AGM. From there, Mike joined the Board in September.
His vision for Glendale is to have more fun destinations and gathering opportunities. How do these sound to you: ride bikes to watch a baseball game, grab a coffee and head to Turtle Hill to watch the sledders, attend a party at the Hall, attend a fair where the neighbourhood dogs compete for Best in Show and home bakers vie for bragging rights?
If you have a possibility in mind and want to work on making it a reality, reach out to Mike and the Board! Before moving to Glendale, Mike was on the Board of a Calgary inner-city community and got together with a couple of neighbours to start a community garden. The project combined their love of being outside and working with their hands. It turned into a Field of Dreams, within two years, about 70 neighbours were involved in the gardens!
With the return of our community hall, we are looking forward to increasing opportunities for events and gathering spaces in Glendale. We want to hear what you are looking forward being part of!
