Graduation season is starting soon in Springbank and we congratulate our youth board member, Jordan Inverarity, not only graduating from SCHS, but this year’s valedictorian! Best wishes, Jordan, and congratulations to all graduates in our community! SCHS graduation festivities will be June 2 at Winsport.
The Springbank Community Association (SCA) is proud to be a positive community builder by fundraising and volunteering for the betterment of Springbank schools and community groups. One of our areas of focus over the past several years has been advocating for the replacement of the old Springbank hall with a useful and well-planned community facility. While this project is moving through Rocky View County, we do not believe that RVC has conducted meaningful engagement on the draft facility with RVC residents. Additionally, the community centre project is one of three important recreation initiatives underway at the County that impact Springbank, including: - SR1 Funds: RVC received $10,000,000 from the Government of Alberta for the Springbank Off-Stream Reservoir that will be used to fund recreation and cultural amenities.
- Land Acquisition: RVC purchased land adjacent to the Springbank Park For All Seasons (SPFAS) for recreation and community amenities.
- Community Centre: Rocky View County released a report with a vision for the community centre. Read the report here! Phase 1 has been approved to move forward, with an update on the cost of servicing heading to RVC Council in September.
Your feedback will help the SCA board to prioritize our activities and ensure that our positions on these items reflect resident views. |

Discovery Corner Preschool
Discovery Corner Preschool has been having much fun outside doing so many fun and messy crafts while working on fine motor skills. They have been talking about feelings and emotions and they enjoyed the book The Color Monster by Ana Llenas. The kindergarten and pre-kindergarten classes made their own monsters and then took them outside to splatter paint using colours they were feeling. Splatter painting was a blast!

 Do you live in Alandale or Lazy H estates? This is the Thom Hodgson family. Thom was an original Springbank Community Association board member. His children followed his example and were community builders, devoting countless volunteer hours to the betterment of Springbank. Chaps and Chinooks, Vol II, p. 478  Editor’s note: You may remember last month we featured the Cullen family. We are very sad to say that Edna Munro (nee Cullen) passed away at the age of 92. Our deepest sympathy to family and friends.
