Every community and community association in Calgary has their own unique character. As part of our community association strategy, we have decided that we want to be an association that operates a respectful and sustainable facility, but also an association that is meaningfully engaged in enriching our community. As you walk around our neighbourhood, you will see several new benches installed in city green spaces and in our facility fields that are nicer than your typical city bench. The benches were installed by our community association in collaboration with the City, our funding partners, and community donors, and our community (not the City!) is responsible for maintaining the benches on a go forward basis. These new benches are truly by community for community, and we hope they are the first of many more community enrichment projects to come. In fact, our community association is leading a new project to replace the small playground on 99th in the middle of September. If you have ideas on how to enrich our community, no matter how big or small, or if you are interested in volunteering to help us install our new playground, please contact me at president@mywillowridge.ca.
