Building More Than a Hall: Strengthening ...

Community isn’t just about proximity, it’s about connection, belonging, and looking out for one another. It’s about creating a space where friendships are formed, where people can turn when they need support, and where everyone feels like they are part of something bigger than themselves. That’s why we’re working hard to build a new Ritchie Hall, not just as a physical space, but as a home for connection, resilience, and belonging.

Crime has been on people’s mind in Ritchie lately. Our Facebook feed and town hall meeting with Councillor Mike Nickel and Police Chief Dale McFee in late September showed just how frustrated residents and police are with how things stand. One way to reclaim our sense of security is by knowing who to call and when if we spot something that’s not right.

RITCHIE OUTDOOR SOCCER REGISTRATION

Okay Ritchie, we know that there is still snow on the ground and temperatures are below zero but it is time to start thinking about our glorious spring and the killer soccer season ahead. Ritchie soccer registration will take place mid month at the hall.  

Similar to last year, parents will need to complete registration online atwww.emsasoccerportal.com prior to heading down to the hall on Sunday February 12 between 1:00 and 4:00 pm. We know, you might want to skip this step, but you can't, sorry! 

During registration we will need to see that online registration has been completed. Don't worry, it is easy to do. When we see you at the hall, it will just be a matter of checking your community league membership (or helping you purchase a new one), taking payments and signing you up for your mandatory volunteer duties.

Here's the thing, if you don't remember to register online, you'll have to fill out a hard copy at the hall and then take home a copy and fill out all the same details in the online version...it will be a pain and major waste of your time. Don't do it. 

Visit www.emsasoccerportal.com and follow the easy steps.
You've got this!!!

Local Business Blurb

Obviously we're hooked on our neighbourhood and the businesses that call Ritchie home. With that in mind, we've decided to give a little love to some of our locals.  First up is Shear Instinct located in Ritchie Four Corners.  

Specialising in colouring and nails, Shear Instinct offers services for women, men, and children in their professional salon. The salon is a favorite destination for hair and nail services in Ritchie and the surrounding area and the crew has just expanded - adding Tamara Johnson who made the wise choice to relocate from Bonnie Doon to Ritchie!  

With the holidays approaching there has never been a better time to treat yourself and get a little fancy! Call 780.988.6133 to book an appointment.
