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.

What a gorgeous stretch of weather. We hope you’re out exploring our amazing neighbourhood this weekend — getting the side‑eye from our resident owl, spotting the beavers, admiring the rare bog orchids (they’re everywhere this year!), and stopping to chat with a neighbour along the way.

The City of Calgary has informed us that the multi-structure playground at 225 Discovery Dr SW (installed in 2018) has been closed as a safety precaution after staff identified heaving and movement in the equipment footings, causing a visible lean in one structure.

Status: The site is fenced and closed, effective immediately.

Next Steps: An Asset Management Engineer is on site today for a preliminary assessment, to be followed by a full structural assessment to confirm the cause and scope of the issue.

Timeline: A repair plan will be developed once the assessment findings are in. The DRCA Board will be updated as soon as the City’s team has an update; we will share this with you at that time. 

For citizen inquiries, please direct them to 311.

Our community casino only comes around every 18 months — and the last one brought in an incredible $85,000. That’s $2,300 earned for the DRCA for every single shift volunteers work. These dollars keep our rec facilities in great shape: pickleball and tennis courts, both ice surfaces, boards, the community hut, and so much more.

We truly can’t run these casinos without volunteers. Please step up and lend a much‑needed hand.

Shifts still open:

Once the new lock is installed and the system is activated, all current DRCA members will receive instructions on how to access the code through your membership login. You can also access the membership login by scanning the QR code with your phone’s camera. Look for the poster below at the tennis courts.
