2016 Avenue Best Neighbourhoods Survey Now Open!
For the seventh consecutive year, Avenue magazine is asking Calgary residents to express their opinions in the Best Neighbourhoods Survey. The survey takes less than 10 minutes to complete and closes on February 28, 2016.Take it here.
We are still urgently looking for volunteers to help out at our Fundraising Casino in February. We get to do one of these events every 18 months and the money it raises helps support the Hall and lets us hold community events.
If you can help, check out the roles here and sign up online.
We are so lucky to have the volunteers we do in this community, BUT with so few of us, it's hard to put on great events and make our neighbourhood even better. If you donated just a few hours of your time, it's amazing what we could all do together.
If you have a special skill - like painting, building, photography, writing, design or event management - we would love to hear from you! Even if you're not sure how you can be involved - get in touch: we always need more hands on deck at events!
Recently, we have had some concerns sent to us about graffiti, abandoned cars and other community issues. If you have seen anything like this, we recommend you contact the City of Calgary via their 311 service first. If you don't see any action, do feel free to email us and we can pass your concerns on to our local police contact.
Some of you may know that the KGCA has been the fortunate recipient of grant money from ATB Agriculture for our community garden in both 2014 and 2015. We have also worked with them in our collaborations with Village Brewery in supplying hops and fruit for the 2014 and 2015 community involved ale (or Village Gardener beer). Well, the team at ATB - who are avid supporters of Alberta agriculture - have been busy supporting other great causes as well.
To commemorate the event, they made a fantastic video. it's only 3 1/2 mins and we highly recommend you take a look here.
Well done ATB - here's to more collaboration in future.
