| Barb Chapin and the Deer Ridge CA had a vision to enhance the playground and Yellow Slide Park with a wonderful Shade/Picnic Shelter. The Deer Ridge CA started planning the Shelter project prior to the “COVID-19” years. When prices escalated and deliveries were extended, the Deer Ridge CA waited for the market to stabilize before proceeding. We partnered with the City of Calgary to manage the construction of this Picnic Shade Shelter. The shelter is a wonderful addition to Yellow Slide Park and adds a covered Picnic area to the Park and the playground. We need to thank Peter Demong – Councilor for Ward 14-for your letter of support of the shelter project. Myles McDougall -MLA for Calgary Fish Creek and Brooklyn Bauerlein -Assistant to the MLA-Calgary-Fish Creek, for your letter of support and for attending the Shelter Grand Opening Ceremony.
