Ever wondered how our rec facilities stay welcoming, well maintained, and improving year after year? 🎉
Here’s the big reveal: our annual Casino Fundraiser is our single most important fundraising event—and we can’t do it without volunteer power. Sign up here: 2026 DRCA Casino Volunteers
Why it matters
This one casino event raises approximately $70,000–$80,000 💥
Every dollar goes directly back into maintaining and improving our recreation facilities—facilities that are fully funded and maintained by our community, not the City.
Even better: each volunteer shift is worth about $2,300 to our community. That’s a pretty incredible return on a few hours of your time.
We need a great crew!
We’re looking for about 36 volunteers over two days, and there’s a spot for everyone:
✅ Come on your own and meet new people
✅ Sign up with a friend or two
✅ Make it a group activity—
your golf foursome ⛳
your mahjong crew 🀄
your hockey team 🏒
or any group of friends who like a good laugh and a good cause
No casino experience required—just a willingness to show up, have fun, and support the community.
What you get
✨ A fun, social experience
✨ A free meal during your shift 🍽️
✨ Bragging rights for supporting a great cause
✨ The satisfaction of knowing you made a real, tangible impact
Bottom line
If you’ve ever enjoyed a program, stepped into our facilities, or thought “I’m glad this is here”—this is your chance to give back in a big way, with a small time commitment.
🎉 Grab a friend (or three), pick a shift, enjoy a meal, and help us roll the dice for our community! 🎉

2026 Community Cleanup
2026-06-13 09:00 - 14:00 | Westside Kings Church, 3939 69 St SW, Calgary, Alberta, T3H 3Y1, Canada
The Discovery Ridge Community Association, alongside the Signal Hill and Springbank Hill communities, are planning a community cleanup day where we will have multiple city garbage trucks in a parking lot to assist you in removing some unwanted items from your home. Think of things like old electronics, tires, wood, mattresses, chairs, beds, landscaping, etc.
The City will provide trucks to collect garbage going to the landfill. Other recycling vendors include: metal, electronics, tires, and household donations. The Drop-In Centre is accepting any furniture.
Unfortunately, we cannot accept organics, chemicals, contaminated materials, or hazardous items. Household hazardous waste can be dropped off at the Lincoln Park/Garrison Green Fire Station #20 at 2800 Peacekeepers Way SW.
The last time that vehicles will be permitted in the queue will be approximately 1:30pm. This time depends on how long the queue already is at that time and could be earlier.
We are always looking for volunteers to help with the event. Please contact volunteer@discoveryridge.com if you are interested in helping out.

Street Cleaning
2026-05-04
The City’s Spring Clean-up program, or street sweeping, removes debris and leftover materials from winter on the roadway. The program begins in mid-April (weather permitting) and runs through June, with community sweeping happening Monday through Fridays, between 8 a.m. and 4 p.m.
Street cleaning is scheduled for Discovery Ridge on May 4. If you’d like a reminder, sign up for e-mail or text notifications.
City crews will put up signs with “No Parking” symbols a few days earlier at specific locations around the community. These signs are verified by Calgary Parking, which helps enforce the ban. Community parking bans occur Monday through Friday from 8 a.m. to 4 p.m. Any vehicle that has not been removed from the street during the ban is subject to a ticket. Calgary Parking uses camera vehicles for enforcement, and tickets will arrive through the mail. In certain areas, vehicles may also be subject to towing if the “No Parking” signs are placed along the roadway. These signs will be placed at least a minimum of 24 hours prior to street sweeping.
