We have some extra paddles at the hall if you want to try out this popular game but do not have your own equipment. Please remember that you must be a PCA member to use the pickleball facilities.

Proceeds from the sale will help the PCA continue to upkeep our facilities and provide programs and events for our community. While we appreciate your donations, we can’t accept mattresses, box springs, reader’s digest/encyclopedias or electronics more than 3 years old as they do not sell.

March Update

Hello Priddis!


We want to begin our March community update with a few thank-yous, congratulations and introductions. 


First, a massive thank you goes out to our outgoing President, Casey Haxton. Over the last 3 years Casey has worked tirelessly on behalf of our community in the role of President. Her work has had a positive impact in all aspects of the community and we are truly grateful to her for all she has done. She is leaving the PCA in a wonderful place to move forward with many exciting initiatives. 


Next, we would like to congratulate Suzanne Oel on being awarded a Lifetime Membership to the PCA. Suzanne is a long time resident and tireless volunteer in our community. She has been a constant for the PCA through the years and is always there to support our community initiatives. We are lucky to have Suzanne in our community and congratulate her on this honour.


Lastly, we would like to take the time to welcome our newest board members- Melodie Lalonde (President), Patricia Feuchter (Vice President) and Susan Penner (Treasurer). We are looking forward to working with these new members and appreciate them stepping up to fill these important executive positions on the Community Board.

Booking the hall gives you access to the entire space, including the commercial kitchen. It is outfitted with everything necessary to cater a meal, chairs and tables, full bar set up and wifi.

January Update

Happy New Year Priddis! 


We would like to begin this month’s community update with some thank yous. Over the last month a crew of dedicated volunteers, led by Steve and Doug, spent dozens of hours finishing the interior of our new garage and change room and building a beautiful deck with benches for people to put their skates on. We are so thankful for all of the time they spent on this amazing project. Secondly, we would like to thank the hard working ice crew who spent many long, cold and late nights at the rink over the holidays making sure that the ice was ready for the community to enjoy. Lastly, we would like to send our heartfelt thanks to some outgoing members of the PCA Board. Our treasurer, Leah Tenove, and Vice President, Jessie Boyle, have dedicated many hours to our community over the last few years. We are grateful for their commitment and wish them well. 

Last night, at this month’s board meeting, we welcomed three new executives to the team. We can look forward to Melodie Lalonde’s leadership as President, Patrica Feuchter supporting as Vice President, and Susan Penner looking after the financial side of things as Treasurer. Welcome to the team!


Skating Rink:


The rink is open and it was great to see how many people came out to enjoy it over the holidays. Please keep in mind that you must be a PCA Member to use the rink. It is also mandatory that all users wear helmets while on the rink. Please be respectful of other users, use the bins provided for garbage and recycling and leave the ice when asked to do so by the ice maintenance crew.
