Volunteer Call-out Playground Installation

The playground on Deerview Way SE is getting new equipment! To help save on costs, we are looking for volunteers to assist with the installation of equipment. The installation will take about 2-3 days, no experience is necessary. This is manual labour with supervision on-site to help guide everyone and ensure everything is safe and secure.  The dates are not yet set however we are targeting late spring. Please contact us to express your interest!

 

Community Ice Rinks

Thank-you to all the volunteer rink rats for your efforts to maintain the ice rinks! So many skaters have been able to enjoy the rinks this season.

The Deer Ridge Annual Family Winter Skate was great fun with good turnout. Thank-you to Starbucks for donation of hot chocolate and coffee. Also thank-you to MLA Richard Gotfried for donation. The many volunteers helped to make this event happen. It was great fun to have so many families attend the event and both rinks busy with activity.
