Recycling Coming Along in Priddis!
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.

Priddis Community Rink Re-build

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.
