|| = || __ ICE MATTERS

The skating season at the SAHCA ice rink will soon be here.

Please consider joining the ice rink maintenance crew. No experience is required, as the crew offers on the job training to learn the art and science of ice making.

We have a snowblower and a power brush to make the job easier. A typical rookie crew member’s time commitment is just 3 outings in total (2 hours each).

In a typical year, our most experienced members start building-up the ice surface in late November (weather dependent) and the rink is ready for skating in early December. The bright Calgary sunshine and Chinook winds usually end our season by early March.

Here are some of the benefits of being on the rink crew – giving back to the community by providing a healthy outdoor activity for all ages; obtaining fresh air and exercise (no need to go to a gym); Ice Crew volunteer party (held at a secret location).

|| = || __ TURN THE MUSIC UP

Do you have an old boom box you are no longer using? One that plays CDs and radio?

The Community Association could use it (for events at the hall). The existing player has reached the end of its life.

If you have one you’re willing to donate, send a message to:

info@standrewsheights.ca

Please include your name and phone number. Our disc jockey will call you back soon.

His second option is to go to the thrift store. However, they tend to get grumpy when he puts it on his shoulder and turns the volume up. Plus the singing and dancing bothers other customers. We’re not sure why. The children love it!

Pleasssse! Can you help us out?

If you are not already on our email list (or Facebook page), please join and encourage neighbours to join as well. It's an easy   way to stay up-to-date with all that's going on in and around the 'hood.
