Be a SNOW ANGEL for our Community Hall
The PCA Hall would benefit from a few community 'Snow Angels' to bring their shovels and clear the snow around the community hall after snow falls. Clearing paths from the parking to the east, south and two west entrances would be much appreciated. Show your community spirit and volunteer your time to keep our hall a great place to gather!
Priddis Community Rink Re-build
At the Skate with Santa event on December 15th, 2019, Terry French, director of the Spruce Meadows Leg Up Foundation, presented a $20,000 cheque to the Priddis Community Association for the rink rebuild. Priddis area residents are one step closer to getting their rink rebuilt thanks to Spruce Meadows!
2020 Priddis Community Hall Time Capsule
A Time Capsule Ceremony will be held on July 5th at the 2020 Stampede Breakfast.
Let's go back in time ...
In July 1967, Priddis residents decided to commemorate Canada’s Centennial with a time capsule. Three young boys from the community were chosen as stewards, being 3rd generation residents of the Priddis area.
On the 50th anniversary, an official ceremony was held at the 2017 Stampede Breakfast. Two of the three stewards were available to open the time capsule, Scott Stewart and Kevin Stanton. Close to 1,000 people were in attendance that day, including Lt.-Gov. Lois Mitchell.
If you are interested in helping to coordinate details of this very special ceremony, items to be placed in the capsule, selecting stewards, etc., please contact priddissecretary@gmail.com
Priddis Community Library
The Priddis Library is in the old school house beside the outdoor rink and is open Tuesday and Friday from 3:00 to 5:00 pm. Drop in to borrow a book or donate your used books. Arlene, Geraldine and/or Carol would love to see you come by and take advantage of this great local resource. The library hours can be extended with more volunteer help. Please contact Arlene at (403) 931-3750 and let her know when you are available.
