Our new bottle recycling bins have arrived and are located in the west end of the Priddis Community Hall parking lot by the rink. Thanks to a very generous grant of $6,987 from the Alberta Beverage Container Recycling Corp’s (ABCRC) Community Champions Program, we now have 4 new secure beverage container donation bins. A special thank you goes out to Brandon from Rangeview Fabricating in Ontario for making our bins. They look amazing! The bottle recycling program is a significant fundraiser for the Priddis Panthers Hockey Association. Thank you to everyone making donations as this supports youth in your community.

Note: it is recommended that boxes with donations be sealed and smaller bags be used so they fit easily into the roller chutes.

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!

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
