Good morning Bankview neighbours - we just received the request below via email.

"We are Nicola and Silvia, an Italian couple here in Canada with the working holiday visa. We are now in Calgary for 3 more days, then we will move in the rockies for work. We have an apartment near to the tennis court and we would like to have a match, but we don’t have our rackets and balls."

If any of our BCA Members might be able to help this lovely couple out by lending them a couple of rackets/balls (& maybe even booking a court time online for them), shoot us a message & we'll get get you two connected! Thanks in advance! 🙂

Child of Ham Workshop - Inner Child Play
Sun March 1 from 6-7:30pm (1.5 Hours)
Temple of Ham presents our first Child of Ham workshop!
https://www.facebook.com/templeofham

Are you tired of the monotony of adulthood? Are you missing whimsy in your everyday life? Do you wish you could just be a kid again? Now is the time to tap back into your inner child’s wisdom and freedom of expression by joining us on Sun March 1 to move, play & just get weird.

You will be led by two priestesses of Ham - Sami & Aria, who both have deep passion & experience in holding intentional space, inner child work, and overall being goofy little goblin ladies. Our hope for you through participating in our variety of activities and grounding exercises is to help in regulating your nervous system while reminding you that life isn’t meant to be taken too seriously. This space is where you can give yourself permission to play again with a group of other adults that are also tired of business suits and office meetings.

Embark in the journey of curiosity, imagination, and connection with us while being hand in hand with your little self. This is just the opportunity child you has been waiting for.

As you are aware, a break on the Bearspaw South Feeder Main has affected The water supply. With the feeder main out of service, we are relying on the smaller Glenmore Water Treatment Plant and a finite supply of water in the Glenmore Reservoir to meet demand for treated water. As a result, and until feeder main repairs are complete, Calgary remains under Stage 4 Water Restrictions.

Here’s how you can help in your daily routine:
Fix leaking taps in kitchens, laundry rooms and washrooms, etc.
Identify areas / processes for increased water efficiency for daily operations.

Flush toilets only when needed.
Run dishwashers and washing machines only when full.
Shorten showers to three minutes or less.
