November Update

Hello and Happy Fall Priddis! We have a lot of exciting events coming up before the end of 2024 so be sure you follow us on social media to stay up to date on all of the things happening in our community. 


Pickleball Tournament:


The PCA would like to send a huge thank you to JPS Furnace and Air Conditioning for all of their work making our first community pickleball tournament such a success. In addition to sponsoring the event on October 5, their team worked behind the scenes and on the ground the day of the event in order to make sure everything ran smoothly. Everyone had a great time and we are looking forward to hosting another Pickleball tournament in the spring. 


Cyclist Meeting: 


On October 22 the PCA partnered with Foothills County to host a public meeting regarding cyclists in our community.

 

The panel included representatives from the PCA, Foothills County councilors and managers, bylaw officers and RCMP. There were over 40 attendees at the meeting which included area residents, area residents who are also cyclists, and spokespersons from various cycling clubs from outside of our community

 

Key thoughts shared:

  • Safety concerns on the road

  • Conflicts between cyclists and residents

  • Lack of space for that many extra cars coming into our community

  • Costs incurred by the community association as a result of cyclists visiting our community 

 

Things to be explored before next cycling season:

  • Outreach and communication with cyclists

  • Educational signage

  • Implementing paid parking for cyclists

  • Adding parking options on municipal land within the Hamlet of Priddis to ease the strain on the community hall lot



Yoga:


Our last session of yoga for 2024 will take place from November 11- December 12. Classes take place from 7:30-8:30pm on Mondays and Thursdays at the Priddis Hall. This is a registered program and the cost of the 10 class session is $200. Email the instructor to register at loricwbffproh@gmail.com


Act fast as the last session was full!

PCA Memberships are now up for renewal. PCA memberships are required to use community amenities, such as the rink and tennis/pickleball courts.

Meat Raffle:


Water’s Edge Pub is currently running a meat raffle with all proceeds benefiting the Priddis Community Association. Tickets are 3 for $5 and the winner will take home a great prize basket of meat to stock their freezer.
