Tradition is to dress in white at Holi, and you’ll end up with a multi-coloured outfit from the spray of herbal powder as we celebrate. **YYC Food Trucks will be on-site for food purchases.**

Our 2025 AGM is to review 2024 financials, go over last year’s activities, share our 2025 budget, and elect a new board. The board is looking to fill a minimum of 3 vacant director board positions at the AGM as well as gain members to a committee for community projects (e.g. new playground, new multi-sports court). The meeting will start at 7 pm in the Valley View room at the Symons Valley United Church. Visit https://kincora.org/agm/ to view the Agenda, 2024 AGM minutes, 2024 Financials and 2025 Budget. Everyone is welcome, but only “active” members with their $20 yearly membership and in attendance will be allowed to vote. You must have an active KCA membership (or the willingness to purchase one) to run for board positions. This is also a great time to come out and learn what the board brings to the community and ask any questions.

Help Kincora celebrate Earth Day with a community litter pickup! We have a fun event coming up! Spring is emerging, and Kincora is fortunate to have beautiful walking paths, ravines, and green spaces to play. We plan to celebrate Earth Day by hosting a walk-about community cleanup on Saturday, April 26 (Tentative) – and we need your help. We will have a volunteer available at the KINCORA FIELDS between 10:00 AM and 1:00 PM. We will provide every participant with a pair of rubber gloves, a trash bag, and a small route. (All trash must be returned by 1:45 pm!) BONUS: The KCA has teamed up with Bow Tie Pizza to get all KCA members a $20 gift card for participating by returning a trash bag. (Only one gift card per person, limited quantity) Please register to participate by emailing EVENTS@KINCORA.ORG, including the number of people in your party and your approximate start time. Include your address if you want to clean up Kincora closer to home!
