We need your support!!

We are quickly approaching our Annual Fall Supper - we changed it up a bit this year and added live music, changed up our dinner menu to include more variety and have gluten free options.


However, we require numbers for our caterer by Tuesday November 12th at 6pm in order to move this wonderful event forward!!


Please come out and meet your neighbours, enjoy a delicious meal with your family, listen to some old fashioned rock n’ roll that will be sure to get your feet tapping!! We promise during dinner the music won’t be too loud!!


I have attached the link below for ticket purchases - kids 6-12 are 1/2 price and kids under 6 are free!!



We look forward to seeing all of you there!!


Your PCA Board





November Update

Hello and Happy Fall Priddis! We have a lot of exciting events coming up before the end of 2024 so be sure you follow us on social media to stay up to date on all of the things happening in our community. 


Pickleball Tournament:


The PCA would like to send a huge thank you to JPS Furnace and Air Conditioning for all of their work making our first community pickleball tournament such a success. In addition to sponsoring the event on October 5, their team worked behind the scenes and on the ground the day of the event in order to make sure everything ran smoothly. Everyone had a great time and we are looking forward to hosting another Pickleball tournament in the spring. 


Cyclist Meeting: 


On October 22 the PCA partnered with Foothills County to host a public meeting regarding cyclists in our community.

 

The panel included representatives from the PCA, Foothills County councilors and managers, bylaw officers and RCMP. There were over 40 attendees at the meeting which included area residents, area residents who are also cyclists, and spokespersons from various cycling clubs from outside of our community

 

Key thoughts shared:

  • Safety concerns on the road

  • Conflicts between cyclists and residents

  • Lack of space for that many extra cars coming into our community

  • Costs incurred by the community association as a result of cyclists visiting our community 

 

Things to be explored before next cycling season:

  • Outreach and communication with cyclists

  • Educational signage

  • Implementing paid parking for cyclists

  • Adding parking options on municipal land within the Hamlet of Priddis to ease the strain on the community hall lot



Yoga:


Our last session of yoga for 2024 will take place from November 11- December 12. Classes take place from 7:30-8:30pm on Mondays and Thursdays at the Priddis Hall. This is a registered program and the cost of the 10 class session is $200. Email the instructor to register at loricwbffproh@gmail.com


Act fast as the last session was full! 


Memberships:


PCA Memberships are now up for renewal. PCA memberships are required to use community amenities, such as the rink and tennis/pickleball courts. Having a membership also grants access to member pricing for many of our community events including the Fall supper. You can purchase or renew your membership here:



Meat Raffle:


Water’s Edge Pub is currently running a meat raffle with all proceeds benefiting the Priddis Community Association. Tickets are 3 for $5 and the winner will take home a great prize basket of meat to stock their freezer. Tickets can be purchased at the pub, with the draw taking place at the Priddis Hall on November 16 during the community Fall Supper. Thanks to Water’s Edge for their support.

The PCA board is a non profit society which oversees many cherished facilities and events in our community. Revenue from our memberships helps us to be able to continue to provide these services to our community. Would you believe that PCA membership prices have not increased in over a decade? In an effort to be able to keep providing the programs, events and facilities that our community loves, we have approved an increase in membership rates. Effective November 1, 2024, the PCA membership rates will be as follows:


  • Family Membership $35

  • Single Adult Membership $25

  • Single Senior Membership $15 (must be over 65 years of age)

  • Business Membership $75

  • Free Year Free N/A



The Priddis Community Association is looking for more board members. This is a minimal commitment, a great way to get to know your neighbours and a good way to get involved in your community. Did you know that our volunteers are responsible for all of the facilities that PCA members get to enjoy, such as the tennis court, rink, library, playground and hall, and they also put on all of the events that we know and love such as the Fall supper, Santa photos, WinterFest, shinny tournament, garage sale and Stampede Breakfast. Joining the board is a rewarding way to contribute to your community and a great way to have your voice heard. If you are interested in joining please email priddispresident@gmail.com
