Ridgewood Community League
News & Blog
We've opened up a survey in order to hear from you, the residents of Bisset, Minchau, and Weinlos, and we'd love to hear what you want to see happening at your community hall.
While we have some fun and exciting new programs and events upcoming, like our Ridgewood Reels, Community Clubs, Spooky Soiree, and Christmas Market & Fair, we want to cater upcoming events to what the community wants to see. Head on over to our survey here to let us know. It's your community league, be sure to have your say! Get active and join your neighbours for games, sports, crafts, music, drama and special events this summer. The Green Shack program is a free drop-in program catered to children ages 6 to 12; however, all are welcome.
Every summer, program leaders host games, challenges and activities that are sure to get kids active and having fun! A list of activities and special events will be posted on the side of the Green Shack each week. All programs run from July 2 - August 22, Monday through Friday. There are three locations in Ridgewood this year for residents to enjoy: Bisset Park - 3702 37 Street 10:30am - 1:30pm Minchau Park - 3724 Mill Woods Rd E 2:30pm - 5:30pm Weinlos - 3103 48 Street 2:30pm - 5:30pm If you'd like to learn more about the city's Green Shack program, head on over to their website here. Come join the community for Mill Woods' Annual Canada Day Celebration! Hosted by the Mill Woods President's Council, this is sure to be an absolutely amazing event, with free activities for the whole family, food, dancing, live music, and of course, fireworks at 11 pm.
Non-perishable food donations are being accepted for SSVP St. Theresa's Food Bank to help fellow members of our community. Come on down for all or part of the festivities, it's sure to be an incredible day! Ridgewood Community League is looking to expand our volunteer pool, and we want your help!
Whether you're looking to meet your neighbours, get volunteer experience, or just lend a hand, we would love to have you be a part of our volunteer pool. Through this group, we'll be able to better deliver our exciting upcoming events. What kind of things might you be doing? We're looking for volunteers for events, whether it's helping set up or take down, run concession, or even greet people at the door. Volunteer duties might also include community clean up, help at our casino, or other opportunities that may pop up. So how does it work? Head on over to our volunteer page and fill out the form. We'll send you an email back to say hello and pop you in our pool. When there is an event coming up, we will send an email out to the pool and take sign ups. There are no minimum hour requirements per year, and previous experience is not required. Ridgewood Community League is excited to announce our brand new program: Ridgewood Community Clubs! What is a Community Club? It's a small club organized by a league member, open to all league members, that centres around a common theme or interest. Want to host a photography club or ballroom dance group? How about a book club or board game night? Knitting nights, sewing circles, bridge clubs... whatever you're interested in we want to host it.
Community Clubs are a fantastic way to meet your neighbours who share similar interests and hobbies. If you're interested in getting in touch about a new community club, please head on over to this page to read about it, and send us an email. We look forward to hearing from you! |
