Michelle Whitten

A heartfelt thank you to all of the incredible volunteers who gave their time over the past two days to support the DRCA Casino Fundraiser. We truly appreciate everyone who stepped up to help. It was wonderful to meet some new volunteers, reconnect with familiar faces, and have a little fun while raising important funds that directly benefit our community.

A special thank you also goes to our dedicated DRCA Board members who worked behind the scenes to organize this fundraiser and recruit an amazing team of volunteers —especially during the busy days leading up to the long weekend. Your commitment, hard work, and countless hours of planning made this event possible. You are all amazing, and our community is so fortunate to have you!

We expect our next Casino assignment in approximately 18 months, and we look forward to welcoming both new volunteers and returning volunteers when the time comes.

Fresh, local, and delicious! Shirley’s Greenhouse Farm Stand pops up every Sunday in the gravel parking lot beside the soccer fields, rinks, and tennis courts. Shop for seasonal produce, farm-fresh eggs, and homemade baking from 10 a.m. until 2 p.m.

West Calgary Ring Road Noise Analysis and Mitigation Information Session

We have been advised of this information session regarding the ongoing noise analysis and initiative conducted by the Province of Alberta. Please plan to attend. 

What is happening at the westernmost waterfall (just below the pond) this summer? Our partners at the NDHA have been advised that that the City will do some landscape clean-up activities (weed control, removal of dead shrubs, etc.) in the area this summer. This is a positive step in managing this overgrown area that does not reflect the high quality of landscape management we expect in Discovery Ridge.

Shirley’s Greenhouse Farm Stand is back every Sunday! Swing by the gravel parking lot beside the soccer fields, rinks, and tennis courts to stock up on fresh local produce, farm eggs, and homemade baking. Open 10 a.m.–2 p.m.

Often on summer days you will see ULS staff working to maintain our green spaces and medians. The NDHA requires their contractors to adhere to all Occupational Health and Safety protocols, including appropriate safety barriers, pylons, and signage when crews are working in roadway areas. Even with these precautions, working in the medians with cars whizzing by is stressful and dangerous. Please go slow and give the crews a friendly wave as you pass by.
