Just a few updates for this month.
DRCA Annual General Meeting
The DRCA Annual General Meeting was held on Monday, February 13 on Zoom. The meeting was well attended with many residents and some good questions for the board. We also had two new directors-at-large join the board. We also thanked our long serving board members who retired this year, Brent Ludwig and Alana Adams, for their countless hours and hard work over the years for the community.
Bears and Garbage Bins
The DRCA has set up a committee to work with the City and Alberta Wildlife on options to help keep the bears and residents safe in our community. The recent tragedy with the bear family has reminded us of our cohabitation with wildlife. This committee will be coming back to the board with options to implement in our community. In the meantime, if you see any dangerous animals in the park or the community, please contact 311.
Community Damage
A friendly reminder that if you see any illegal activity, graffiti/vandalism, or fires in Griffith Woods or near the recreation facilities, please contact 911 for fires and 311 for bylaw issues. Please keep Griffith Woods and our recreation facilities safe and accessible for everyone to enjoy.
New Community Events
If you have an idea for a great community event or would be interested in helping organize one, please drop us a line to let us know. Planning will begin shortly for our June DRCA Stampede Roundup.
Call Out for Volunteers
We are always looking for new board or committee volunteers. We currently have a few roles vacant. If you have any interest or would like to get involved somehow to make Discovery a better place, please contact me below. Please note that we have a DRCA casino fundraising event on May 20 and 21 on the long-weekend and are looking for volunteers to fill time slots.
We welcome residents to see your DRCA in action and sit as a guest at one of our meetings. Our meeting is online and they are usually the first Monday of each month from 7:30 to 9:00 pm. If you would like an invite to our next online meeting, please email me below. If you are interested in joining the board, please contact me for more information. Please feel free to email me or your DRCA board regarding any questions or visit our website at discoveryridge.com.
Happy spring!

Past President, DRCA
