Christmas 2020 looks a little different this year. While the pandemic has us staying close to home, we can still get out for a walk or a drive and enjoy some of the holiday spirit. We've compiled a map of Christmas light displays in Bridgeland and surrounding neighbourhoods.

CLICK HERE to view the map, locations are marked with the purple snowflake.

We invite voting members to join us on November 18th for our Annual General Meeting. Due to the COVID-19 pandemic, this year's event will look a bit different. We request that all attendees wear face masks, physical distancing will be in place, no refreshments will be served, and there will not be any socializing prior to, or after the meeting. The Board of Directors has created their presentation ahead of time to allow the meeting to be very quick.
