Important Changes:
The PCA Board of directors have voted on changes to our Membership structure. The changes will come into effect on November 1 and are as follows:
Instead of being valid from November 1- October 31 each year, memberships will now be valid for 1 year from the date of purchase. Members will get an email reminder 30 days before memberships expire.
In addition to our current membership offerings, we will be introducing a new Non Resident membership for those who wish to purchase a membership but live outside of our area
The new rates (per year) will be as follows:
Business: $100
Family: $50
Single Adult or Senior: $25
Non Resident: $75
Effective November 1 our Hall Rental prices will be increasing to help us keep up with rising costs and hall rental maintenance. Rates will be posted on the website.
Activities in Priddis:
Parented playgroup Wednesday mornings at 9:30 in the preschool space at the Priddis Hall. This is a drop in, parented program that is free for PCA members. Thanks to the volunteers who are running the program this Fall. We couldn’t do it without you. (Paused during the teacher’s strike)
Yoga takes place on Monday and Thursday evenings from 7:30-8:30pm at the Priddis Hall. This is a registered program for all levels and more information can be found at https://www.heartomwellness.com
A new, fun group fitness class happens at the Priddis Hall on Wednesday and Friday mornings from 9:45-10:45am. This is a registered program that focuses on a full body workout for all levels. For more information please visit https://www.heartomwellness.com
Back by popular demand- we will be offering indoor pickleball at the Priddis Hall again this winter. This program will be offered most Sundays from 1-4pm and most Thursdays from 3-7pm. All users must have a PCA membership and sign a waiver. Sign up is required and can be done here:
We are sure you have heard all the buzz by now- the Priddis Rink surface has a fresh new look and a safe new path. Not only will this improve the quality of our ice for the winter season. It also means that community members can enjoy the space all year round with activities like ball hockey, rollerblading and biking. Next summer we will be looking for input into what activities, programs or events our community would like to see in this space. Just a reminder that everyone using the rink during any season needs to have a PCA Membership.
