Just a reminder that Parkdale is kicking off its Farm Stand this Sat, Jun 6 at 3 pm. We are excited to take part in the City of Calgary Farm Stand Program👨‍🌾, which aims to improve access to healthy and environmentally friendly food options 🥕🍅 for Calgarians while simultaneously providing local and regional food producers with more places to sell food in the city. thttps://www.parkdaleyyc.com/events-1/parkdale-farm-stand-with-broxburn-vegetables-2026-06-06-15-00

June 1 update: High river flow but no widespread flooding expected on Bow and Elbow Rivers.

Recent rainfall across Calgary and upstream areas has led to rising water levels on the Bow and Elbow Rivers, with another 40-70 mm of rain expected through Tuesday.

Cooler temperatures and reservoir management continue to help moderate flows. Current conditions are being closely monitored as forecasts evolve.

You may notice:
🚧 Pathway and underpass closures (with more closures possible).
💧Water pooling on streets and around storm drains.

⚠️ Safety reminders:
· Stay back from riverbanks – including children and pets – as high flows can cause instability.
· A Boating Advisory remains in effect. Visit calgary.ca/watersafety for updates.

✅ What you can do:
· Keep storm drains clear and report standing water (after 90 minutes) via 311.
· Direct rainwater away from your home.
· Check sump pumps and backflow valves.

For updates on river conditions, visit calgary.ca/floodinfo.
Pathway closures: calgary.ca/pathwayclosures.

We 💛 our volunteers!

We recently celebrated our amazing volunteers with a fun appreciation event - complete with small gifts, door prizes, kids’ activities and a delicious BBQ thanks to Westcor!

Our community wouldn’t be the same without the time, energy and heart our volunteers bring. We’re so grateful for everything you do!

Want to get involved? We’re always looking for more helping hands on the garden, skating rink, events, casino, and planning & development committees. No matter how much time you have, your contribution is meaningful. [email protected]

Do you love planning events or just want to help make your community a great place to live? 🎉

Hi neighbours! I’m your Events Director (and a busy mom + nurse), and I could really use your help to keep our community events going strong.

We’re looking for event leads to help organize favourites like the Stampede Breakfast, Used Gear Sale, and Holiday Party. Have a new idea? I’d love to help bring it to life!

Not up for leading something? No problem—join the events committee or volunteer a few hours when you can. No experience needed, just a willingness to get involved.

Let’s keep Parkdale & Point McKay fun, connected, and thriving 💛
