On September 17, 2022, the Ritchie Community League celebrated its centennial with a day’s worth of festivities that included a free pancake breakfast, a party in the park, and concert in the hall.
The Ritchie Community League would like to thank all the board members, staff, volunteers, and community members who came out to celebrate this historic milestone. We couldn’t have done it without you.
We would like to thank our Centennial Committee, Seghan MacDonald, Erin Fraser, dallas Bartel, Aaron Getz, Nigel Greenways, Elyse Colville, Linnea Bell, and Lydia Neufeld, for their role in steering not just the day’s event, but the year-long Centennial Celebration.
