The Priddis Hall is open for business. Enjoy the rest of your summer!
Priddis Stampede Breakfast:
The Priddis Stampede Breakfast on Saturday, July 17th would not have taken place without the help of numerous volunteers and our sponsor, Water’s Edge Pub. Approximately 300 people attended. The Priddis Firefighters flipped the pancakes and sausages while Chef Dan from Water’s Edge Pub, served up those fluffy scrambled eggs and kept the coffee hot. While the DJ was playing some favourite tunes, lots of door prizes were given out throughout the morning. A huge thanks to all the volunteers. Donations were received from: Meota Gas, A&W Shawnessy, Water’s Edge Pub, Pre Pak Meats, Joey’s, Azuridge Estate Hotel, Streats, Gordon Food Service, Coverco Buildings, Café Monte, The Chaulk Team at Royal LePage, The Crisp Apple, Bar Tec, Wild Rose Brewery, and Priddis General Store.
Thanks for coming out to support this great community event.

Incoming books are quarantined for 72 hrs. Social distancing is being practiced between visitors. Your donations are greatly appreciated but we will not accept encyclopedias, textbooks, older cookbooks, readers digest condensed books, or any books more than 20 years old. Currently volunteering at the library are Arlene, Carole, Sonya, Barb, and Jeanie.
Thanks, Ladies, for volunteering your time to keep the library operational for the community.
Recycling Bins at the Hall:
Note: It is recommended that boxes with donations be sealed, and smaller bags be used so they fit easily into the roller chutes.
The 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.
