As the seasons change, so do the ways that we can use our rink space. Winter brought us skating, with time spent in the shack warming up with hot chocolate and friends. As the weather shifted to spring, our thoughts went towards the summer and what we would like the community league space to be. 

Our space is mostly concrete with a bit of green space and a trailer. The plans for a new building may be on hold, but we have space and we want to make the best of it. We have a few projects to complete this summer to make our space feel more functional and friendly. 

We have come up with some ways to engage with our space during the summer. Gardening, weekly English lessons, a clothing swap, monthly tea and conversations, a community garage sale, and bannock and jam to commemorate Treaty No. 6 Recognition Day are just some of the events planned for the summer. For more information about these events please check out our Facebook page (@mccauleycommunityleague). If you have any ideas about what McCauley Community League can host or do to further build our community, we would love to hear from you.

Save the date! McCauley Community League is hosting a community-wide garage sale on August 15th. Community members can submit their address to be added to the garage sale map, and members without access to a garage or yard space can have a table at the rink. Please submit your address or request a table by July 15th through email (league@mccauleycl.com).

McCauley Community League’s AGM will be held at Santa Maria Goretti Centre (11050 90th Street) on June 7th from 3:30-4:30 p.m. We encourage community members to come out and hear about what has been happening. If you have been thinking about joining the league, come on out and join us.
