Are you a fan of Music in the Park, Stampede RoundUp, and other fun community events? Now’s the time to get involved!

Our Special Events Lead is stepping down after this year and we’re looking for someone to take this on, or a few people to take on individual events. Sign up with a neighbour or friend. Co-Chairs or Co-Event Leads work well too! There are detailed notes and instructions to follow, so there’s no need to start from scratch. Just bring your own energy and ideas.

Interested? Reach out now to events@discoveryridge.com. We’ll connect you with our current Special Events Lead so you can shadow her this year. 

Are you a local business owner or resident who enjoys supporting community events?

We’re excited that planning is under way for two of our favourite events—Stampede RoundUp on June 21 and Music in the Park on September 6! These awesome events wouldn’t be possible without community support. We’re seeking sponsors to help make them happen! If you are a local business or resident and would like to partner with us, please reach out to events@discoveryridge.com. It’s a win-win for our community!

To those that have already stepped up, thank you! This allows us to have planning under way now!
