Duke of Edinburgh Award (dukeofed.org)
We became an award centre thus creating local opportunities for youth ages 14-24 to excel. We have 11 awesome kids registered thus far!
Community Spirit
- We sold out our first annual Community Raffle! $20,000 was raised for the Innovation Lab at Springbank Community High School (SCHS) and Community Association programs.
- In partnership with Springbank Soccer, we also sold a record 319 boxes of apples this fall through our fundraiser with Davison Orchards.
- We helped to advocate for the new crosswalk at SCHS.
Planning & Recreation
- We are excited to begin our work with local groups on a community centre for Springbank. The planning kicks off this month! Time for that gymnasium!
- We provided feedback to RVC on the Springbank Area Structure Plans, Elbow View ASP and their engagement with communities. We will continue to work to improve our own community engagement!
- We have engaged with Alberta Environment and Parks on the Bow River dam process using learnings from SR1 to provide feedback on stakeholder engagement and decision criteria.
- We attempt to stay on top of planning activities in our area, including: RR31 4-way stop, 101st street closure, Alberta Transportation’s acquisition of 2000 acres along the Bow River and proposed and upcoming developments such as Bingham Crossing, Willow Ranch on RR33 and Coach Road in Artists View.
