Some 40 years ago, a new park in Ritchie was paid for by levying funds on new construction projects. Could a similar levy help the league rebuild our hall, rink and sports courts? Updated June 2021.
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.
Civics
Mill Creek Ravine erosion repairs will close westbound 76 Avenue to traffic until late February 2025. The lower ravine trail is also closed, with alternate routes for pedestrians and cyclists. Updates will follow.
Finances, Membership perks
A new discount card is one of many perks included in subscription packages the league hopes will bolster its revenues.
Civics, Facilities
Cuts to grants and changes to the Alberta Lottery Fund leave community leagues with questions.
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.
