The Kincora Winter Fest is a free community event hosted by the Kincora Community Association at Kincora Field across from Symons Valley United Church (1100 Kincora Dr NW, Calgary AB). The celebration includes two days of winter fun, featuring: Horse-drawn sleigh rides, Skating (with free skate and helmet rentals), Hot chocolate & Donuts, Fire Pits, Games, Raffles, and Giveaways. Skate Night:  Saturday, February 21 | 6:00–9:00 PM. Winter Fest: Sunday, February 22 | 1:00–4:00 PM. Everyone is welcome. Come out and enjoy a cozy winter experience with your community!  

We’ll be meeting in the Kincora fields (by the church) to assemble the frame of our ice skating rink before the frost sets in. What can you do? Bring a power drill, dress accordingly, and a can-do attitude! We set out the 2×10’s, pound in our ground stakes, and then screw in the boards to the stakes. Following that, we insert plywood to cover up any gaps between the boards and uneven ground. With a good number of volunteers, we should be able to finish it within four hours. However, we need your help! A few extra hands and drills make everything come together even quicker. Our rink supervisor, Charles, will also be looking for people who are willing to be added to our rink cleaning contact list.

 There will be awesome food trucks on site making sure we’re all served with delicious foods. 5:00pm to 9:00pm – Movie starts at 7:00pmSymons Valley Park – Right across from Sage Hill Crossing Bring your family, your friends, a blanket and let’s make it another unforgettable night for our kids and our community.  Local businesses! We’d love your support to make this year’s event even bigger — DM Symon Valley Park on Facebook to learn about sponsorship opportunities and how you can get involved.
