Spring Fling – Instead of dressing up, wear your orange and blue

In honour of the Oilers, we’ve decided to drop the dress-up component of this year’s Spring Fling and instead encourage you to wear your orange and blue in support of the Oilers.

The Spring Fling takes place this Saturday at the Crown and Anchor. Get your tickets here (click to visit eventbrite).

Only $10. Drink and food specials. Live band and more!  Join us for this fun pub night.

Griesbach 2017 Spring Fling has Star Power.

Lights, cameras, action! We’re rolling out the red carpet for The 2017 Spring Fling: our annual adult social. It all takes place Saturday, May 6th, 7 pm Crown and Anchor Pub (Castle Downs Rd and 153rd).

The past two years it has evolved into a dress up theme party. This year’s theme is “Celebrity Selfie”. Come as your favourite star, musician, athlete (or Prime Minister). Tickets $10 and available on Eventbrite. It’s a night of live music, draws and costume prizes. Gather the neighbours and make your way over to the Crown.

INSIDE: Spring Fling theme and date announced. Easter Egg Hunt Sold Out. Community League and Development Update. Confirmation of Individual Playground Donor Names Required. Volunteers Director Needed. And more.

 

Did you donate personally to the playground? We need to confirm spelling of your name for donor recognition..

With playground construction about to begin, Griesbach Community League is putting together our final donor recognition materials.

Below is a list of individuals who have generously donated to the project.

If you are on the list, we ask that you review your name for spelling – and to confirm that this is how you would like your name to appear on donor recognition materials.

For example, you may wish to use your family name instead, include a spouse’s names, just use a first initial, etc.  (eg. I originally used Dave & Angela Neufeld, but we have since had a baby, and wish to change to The Neufeld Family).

If you have any changes, please email Stacy (click here) on or before Monday, April 17, 2017.

If we do not hear otherwise, the name will be printed as listed below. Please use “Change My Donor Name” as your subject line.

Thanks again for your support. We look forward to ensuring you get the recognition you deserve!

             Note:Corporate Sponsors will be recognized separately.

Bedford Basin Pathway Update

A number of residents have expressed their frustration with the damaged pathway along the North side of  Bedford Basin (behind the Juno Townhomes) – a favourite walkway of residents of all ages. It seems like it has taken forever to address. Patience is wearing understandably thin.

We looked into it to see if we could confirm when it would be fixed, and here is what we learned.

Canada Lands is not involved. It is now considered City of Edmonton parkland. The repairs are the responsibility of Lear Construction Management. A representative from Lear responded immediately to our request for information:

“We are currently dealing with the insurance companies of all the stakeholders involved to try and get the pathway repaired ASAP. The stakeholders include the City of Edmonton, the developer of the project and the trade that damaged the pathway.  Unfortunately we were not able to get it resolved last year due to continual weather delays and saturation issues – and now it has been pushed up to the insurance companies. It is our hopes that the replacement of the pathway will be done ASAP this spring but unfortunately is out of our control at the moment.”

We have asked to be informed of updates, which we will share as learn more. Hopefully it is fixed soon, as the lakes were designed to provide an integrated pathway system – ideal for long summer walks.
