“Warriors of Hope” – Yoga Cancer Fundraiser: Due to the Covid-19 situation the June 20th, 2020 Yoga Event at the Priddis Greens Golf & Country Club has been cancelled. We are continuing to fundraise and are asking our followers and supporters to donate directly to our charity Wings of Hope through our website www.warriorsofhope.ca.The need for funds is still great and will likely increase with the economic downturn that Alberta is facing.
Wings of Hope Breast Cancer Foundation is a 100% volunteer run registered charitable organization. The funds raised will assist in supporting people living with breast cancer in Calgary and area. Many breast cancer patients are unable to work during their treatments. Wings of Hope lifts the burden by providing funding to cover basic needs such as rent and groceries.

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. Thanks to a grant from the Alberta Beverage Container Recycling Corp’s (ABCRC) Community Champions Program, we now have 4 new secure beverage container donation bins. The bottle recycling program is a significant 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.
