 WHAT'S THE BIG DEAL ABOUT HAVING A MEMBERSHIP?!?!

If you are like most people in our community, you have asked yourself "What do I need a community membership for?"

You might be thinking of the following:
  • I don’t use the facilities;
  • I’m retired;
  • I don’t have children;
  • There isn’t anything there that interests me;
  • The community association doesn’t do anything for me so why should I buy a membership?
  • It costs too much. ($15.00/family, $5.00/seniors & singles)

These reasons are all familiar to the Board of Directors, but it's important to understand how your membership helps out the whole community. Here are a few examples:

  • Registration with sports associations like Trails West Hockey have bylaws requiring that players must have a valid Community Membership to register;
  • Allows the Community Association to represent you and your community in a number of areas. Specifically, over the past year, the Rutland Park Community Association has:
    • Met with representatives from surrounding communities (Ward 8 Presidents Committee, CFB West Traffic Committee) to discuss traffic issues that affect all of us;
    • Arranged public information meetings regarding the development in our community;
    • Regularly met with our Alderman in order to keep her aware of issues within our community and neighboring area;
    • Met with developers to ensure new developments near our area enhance our community – not detract from it;
    • Endeavored to make our community centre a viable, profitable and well-used facility so that we can re-establish and continue to support non-profit groups such as Scouts and Kidzinc;
    • Raised funds to sponsor activities in the community such as park and play, park and stay, and youth leadership programs;
    • Organized various community events such as skating parties and jellybean dances that provide wholesome activities for youth in the community.


So, at $15.00 per year, or $1.25/month, less than the price of a coffee at Tim Horton's you can contribute to your community.

Please make an effort to fill in a membership form or contact Gord Leach at 249-5900. This is about your life, your community, and it’s about YOU.
