Advertising Opportunity:

Are you a local business wanting to gain visibility while supporting the community? We have space for a few new advertisements on our brand new rink boards. Want to learn more about this exciting opportunity? Email priddisalberta@gmail.com 

As you are probably aware, our tennis and pickleball courts sustained some disappointing damage, unrelated to regular use, during the last part of August and the first part of September. As a result, the courts are now locked.

If you are a member wanting to use the courts, please email priddisalberta@gmail.com for the code. We are counting on our members to help us keep the courts secure by locking the gates when you are done playing. We also wanted to give advance notice to members that, as a result of the damage and in an effort to keep our amenities in good order, the courts will be moving to a booking system for next season. Information about this will be shared with members in early Spring. 

This is a friendly reminder that PCA memberships expire one year after purchase. You should receive an email reminder to renew. However, you can also log into your Communal account at any time to check the status of your membership. There you can also set up your membership to auto renew so you do not have to worry about it every year. The revenue from these memberships helps us maintain the amenities that we all love (hall, rink, tennis courts etc) and put on programs and events for our community. 

Happy Thanksgiving to all of you from Priddis Community Association
