Thank You Volunteers for Painting Our Pathways!

We would like to thank all volunteers who signed up to bring some fun and color to our community by painting activity stencils on the pathways around our community. Several volunteer teams painted stencils in four locations: around the Riverbend Community Centre and Riverbend School, by the Riverbend Rock, by Riverside Mews, and in Carburn Park.

Thank You to Our Community Partners!

We would like to thank Little Steps for supporting us with enhancing the security system for the community centre. We would also like to thank Riverbend Sobeys and Quarry Park Coop for donating plants for the community centre! We are grateful to all our community partners!

18th Street Refresh Project Update

We continue to work with the owners of the 18th Street fences to hear their questions and concerns as we encourage as many as possible to paint and/or repair their fences in 2021. We know COVID-19 makes this a challenging year for many, and are grateful to all homeowners who are tackling this project. Any 18th Street residents who would like to work with others to obtain quotes for building and painting, please contact [email protected]. We have also been talking to City Parks and Roads to brainstorm ideas on how to best address landscaping on 18th Street.
