Queen Elizabeth II Platinum Jubilee Medal – Volunteer Recognition

Congratulations to Mr. Don Burdeyney and Mr. Bob Hall who received the Queen Elizabeth II Platinum Jubilee Medal! Richard Gotfried, MLA for Calgary-Fish Creek, presented the medals.

Spring Fling

The Deer Ridge and Queensland Diamond Cove Spring Fling party was held at the Queensland Community Centre on April 1. A very special thank-you goes out to the dedicated volunteers who made this event for our kiddos a great time. A great big thank-you, also, to all the kiddos and their parents who came out to join us and have some fun as we welcome spring back into our neighborhoods.

Volunteer in the Community

Yes, I am interested in being a volunteer and joining together with like-minded people who want to make this a great community in which to live, work, and play!

The continued success of various events, new initiatives, as well as maintenance and improvements of facilities is dependent upon involvement of Deer Ridge residents. Visit the volunteer page at https://deerridgeca.com/volunteer/ to join us in the fun!

Deer Ridge CA Casino 2023

Our community was able to get casino dates once again. Casino revenues provide an exceptionally large portion of the revenue that Deer Ridge receives to help support programs and initiatives in the community. Our casino dates for 2023 will be May 1 and 2 at Ace Casino on Aero Drive. A big shoutout to the volunteers who have already come forward to work this casino – you rock!

Community Gardens

Have you been getting your lettuce, radish, carrot, and bean seeds ready? Our community gardens will be running again this year and we hope you will join us. Watch for a garden sign-up announcement coming soon. We will get going with a garden cleanup in May, including the distribution and digging under of fresh compost, and we welcome all community gardeners and those who wish to garden with us. Come join us, get your hands in the dirt, and taste the rewards of homegrown organic produce this summer!

Movie in the Park

Mark your calendars for Movie in the Park on Saturday, August 19! Deer Ridge Community Association will be hosting a movie night with hot dogs and all the fixings and activities for the kids. The event is free for everyone. Come, bring the family, a little bug spray, and a blanket or chairs, and be ready to have a great time. Be sure you plan to join us for this very popular, fun, family event – we look forward to seeing you there!
