September Update

Hello Priddis and happy autumn. There are a number of opportunities to engage with your neighbours in the coming weeks and months. We would love to see everyone enjoying our amazing community.

Pickleball

Join us for some pickleball fun every week. Grab your paddles and meet us on the courts.

Mondays: 6:00 PM - 8:00 PM

Wednesdays: 10:00 AM - 12:00 PM

We'll keep playing until the snow falls or it's too chilly to enjoy the game. If there is enough interest, we can line the hall again this winter for indoor play.

Priddis Panthers Hockey

Hockey registration for the Priddis Panthers has officially closed. If you still have a young player eager to hit the ice, please contact us at priddishockey@gmail.com. We'll do our best to accommodate your child's love for the sport.

Panthers are in need of referees for this season. This is a great way to become involved in the community, keep active, and make some money. A training course is required and open to anyone born in 2010 or earlier. Please email priddisalberta@gmail.com for more information.

June Update

Can you believe it is almost summer? The Priddis Community Association has a few things happening in the coming months that we would like to share. As a reminder, the PCA board does not meet in July and August which means a (small) break from planning and communication.

• The PCA would like to send a big thank you to Arlene Jelfs for coordinating another successful garage sale. With everyone’s donations and purchases, we were able to raise over $3000. Thank you to the volunteers that made the day possible, and to Lynne from the View & Brew for her donation of the baked goods.

• We would also like to thank the Priddis Preschool and Westoe Women’s Institute for freshening up our flower beds. Both organizations are cherished by the community.

• Stampede Breakfast is happening July 9th. Breakfast will be served from 8am-12pm with tickets available at the door. Please come early as each year this event sells out. Tickets are $5 for ages 7+, and kids are free with the purchase of an adult meal. We are still looking for a number of volunteers to help. If you are able, please sign up here. All volunteers will receive a free breakfast as well as a warm, fuzzy feeling in their heart.

• The biggest piece of news we would like to share is that the PCA has hired an Executive Director! This is a paid position that does not volunteer for the board, but works in tandem to enrich our community. When we have solidified all of the details then we will make an official announcement. Alternatively, please join us at Stampede Breakfast where you will be able to meet our newest team member.

We hope that everyone has an enjoyable summer. See you in the fall!
