During the 2014-2015 season we had a great event every Tuesday evening 'Community Skate Night'. We would love to continue this event to through 2015-2016 season but to do so we will need your help!
We are looking for a couple of volunteers to come for the evening and help out. You can count on us to provide the 'training' to get the season started for you.
Please contact Dave: rinks@winstonheights.ca

Playgroup!
Are you a mom, dad, grandparent or caregiver in the neighbourhood and would like to have a place to go to meet other people and have your children socialize and play with others? Then come and join us at the Winston Heights-Mountview Playgroup held at the Winston Heights-Mountview Community Centre. We have great toys for the kids to play with and this is a great way to get out and meet others. Playgroup is held each Monday morning starting at 10:00 a.m. and lasts to 11:30 a.m (starting up again September 14, 2015). This is an informal, non-registered playgroup, so no need to sign up, just come out and join us on Monday mornings - we love to meet new families in the neighbourhood! If you have any questions, or would like more information, please contact Sarah Wiedmer Jarabak at playgroup@winstonheights.ca. Also, if you'd be interested in having a 'story time' during playgroup, please contact me via e-mail. If we have enough interest, I will organize a Calgary Public Library public outreach coordinator to schedule us in for regular story times. They bring books on a specific theme and read a few to the children while guardians quietly visit. The books are even available to be checked out if you bring your library card with you.
POTLUCK!
The third Friday of every month at 6pm, the WHMCA hosts a family-friendly pot luck dinner. All community residents are welcome to attend. Bring a dish to share and anything special you might like to drink (coffee, tea, juice and water are provided) and come on out to meet your neighbours for some great food and ever better company and conversation. There are toys and activities for children and it's a great opportunity to meet new neighbours and friends. If you’ve not yet made it out to the potluck but would like to attend, please come by. If you want more information, please contact Christine at president@winstonheights.ca.
To sign up for the Potluck notices that include details of this month's event(s), please use the eNewsletter sign up at the side of our website and select 'Potluck'.

Happy Holidays!
The Community Garden Committee would like to wish everyone a safe and happy holiday! We’d also like to invite everyone to attend our annual January Skating Party. Please check the notice board in the garden, or the garden page of the community website for details.
Garden Membership
If you’d like to rent a bed in the community garden for the summer of 2016, please send an e mail to: communitygarden@winstonheights.ca. Garden renewals and rentals begin in January! Standard beds are available at $50 per season and there are three special access beds available at just $25 per season. Forty-six of the beds are available for community gardeners.
The remaining beds are sharing beds; they are planted and tended by volunteers, and are dedicated to the enjoyment of the community. In the 2015 season, there were a total of seven sharing beds. They included three tasting beds, an aboriginal healing garden, an herb spiral and two donation beds. Special thanks to Myrna Weiden for the many hours she devoted to planting, tending, harvesting and delivering the crops from the donation beds for the benefit of the Veterans’ food bank.
If you are interested in joining the garden community as a renter, committee member, or volunteer we’d be happy to welcome you to our team. Please contact us at communitygarden@winstonheights.ca.
