Young Families: Young Families hosted a child-friendly outdoor get together at the Hall in August. Check Facebook and the website (see below) for the next event details in September.
Priddis Panthers Hockey: Registration for Priddis Panthers Pond Hockey is open until September 4th. Registration can be completed online using TeamSnap at go.teamsnap.com/forms/240464. The registration process in Team Snap is efficient but we are available to help you through it if you need assistance. Please email or call if we can help.
We are continuing to work with Hockey Alberta to follow the government protocols for COVID-19 and ensure that our children remain safe. With the return to school announcement, we are even more optimistic that our season will go ahead as planned. In the small chance that the season is cancelled or cut short, please be reassured that we will refund the applicable fees.
Registration cost for 12 and under is $300
Registration cost for 13 and over is $350
- Each family is required to pay the $25 Priddis Community Association fee.
- There will be no increase in fees this year.
- Each family will still be required to volunteer throughout the season, however the number of hours required have decreased from 20 to 15 hrs per player. This is, in large part, due to our new Zamboni. Volunteer preferences can be selected as part of your online registration
- We will be collecting a refundable jersey payment of $100/player at the time of registration. This payment will be returned at the end of the season once the jersey is returned.
- Payment can be made by VISA, Mastercard, or e-transfer.
- There is a $50 administrative fee per player if withdrawing their application for the season after the season has started. COVID related changes and refunds will not incur admin fees and refunds will be given if the season is cancelled.
We are looking forward to an awesome season and hope you can join us starting in October.
Priddis Early Learning Program – PELP: The first day of preschool is Wednesday, September 9th. We are a licensed program so plans and policies will be based on the guidelines set forth by the Alberta Government. Details were emailed to registered families in August. We still have space in our 3 year old class! This class runs 9:00-11:00 Tuesday/Thursday. Please email pelppreschool@gmail.com if you would like to have your child join our program. Please check out the website or email for more information, pelppreschool@gmail.com or visit pelppreschool.wixsite.com/pelp/registration
Priddis Panther’s Hockey Association Recycling Bins: Note: It is recommended that boxes with donations be sealed and smaller bags be used so they fit easily into the roller chutes.
Our new bottle recycling bins are located at the west end of the Priddis Community Hall parking lot by the rink. The bottle recycling program is a fundraiser for the Priddis Panthers Hockey Association. Thank you to everyone supporting this program with your beverage container recyclable donations for youth in our community. Please, only deposit containers indicated on the bottoms of the bins.
Local Beekeepers: Anyone interested in hosting beehives next year can contact the Calgary Beekeepers Association at CalgaryBeekeepers@gmail.com. They will need a description of the property and how many hives people want to host and he will post it to the CBA Google Group. FYI … Apparently, the massive amount of uncut clover this year has resulted in some Keepers extracting 150 lb. of honey per hive!
Booking the Hall: We are taking bookings for the Hall into this fall and next year. If we are unable to honour your contract due to the COVID-19, your deposit will be returned.
To view or book the Hall, contact Mike, the Hall Rental Director at PCAhallrentals@gmail.com. Check the website www.priddisalberta.com for availability, pricing, and updates.
