Woodcreek Comm Assoc

The intent of this page is to share links to various Google Photos folders that contain photos of Woodcreek Community Association events. These are lower resolution photos suitable for social media. They have had minimal processing and probably won't print well. You may share these photos with your family and friends, provided they are not changed in any way. Some of the photos may be used on the cover the Community Association newsletter, or in Facebook or Instagram posts; those will have had additional work.

These photos are intended to support our local community association activities. They are not intended for commercial purposes. I retain all copyrights as the photographer.

If you see one you like, contact me at loungecatproductions@gmail.com. I will go back to the original photo and send you a higher resolution version for a modest fee to cover my time. These will be custom tweaked to get the best from the photo. To do this I need to know which photo(s) you want. Click on it, and look in the upper right corner for a little "i" with a circle around it. Click that and a panel will open on the right. About half way down you will see something like this.

I need the IMG number, in this case 9968. (It's a photo of Cec, in case you were wondering.)

20240504 LINK This was a huge day for Naomi and all the volunteers that have worked with her over the past several years to take the pantry from a tote bin, to a big dedicated space for dry goods on one side, and a fridge freezer on the other. More than 350 people showed up to buy a hot dog snack, and donate to the pantry. Thank you all for attending. We were fortunate to have our representatives from all three levels of government help us dedicate the pantry. 


From L to R, Jennifer Hogg (WCA 1st VP), Shuvaloy Majumdar (MP, Calgary Heritage), Naomi Burkinshaw (WCA director in charge of the pantry), Dan McLean (Councillor, Ward 13), and Nagwan Al-Guneid (MLA, Calgary Glenmore.) A special thanks to them for taking time out of their busy schedules.

20240322 LINK 213 photos from the Easter Egg Hunt. Once again the event sold out. Tara and the volunteers did a great job coping with the several days of snow. The hunt was moved indoors to a specially decorated room, and there was lots of shovelling to clear the snow in the grove of trees near the garage.

20240211 LINK 96 photos from the last Shinny and family skate of the year. The kids ran us out of cookies, and it was a nice day to skate and enjoy hot chocolate and fun with friends.

20231216 LINK  132 photos from the Skate with Santa. Lets have a huge round of applause to our hard-working ice rink crew who managed to get the ice ready in spite of weather that barely cooperated. Lots of kids showed up to talk to Santa. Everybody enjoyed their first skate.

20231104  LINK, 108 photos from the Craft sale. There was a line up at the start, and a good crowd of shoppers while I was there.

20231029 LINK 221 photos from the Halloween part. We had a huge turnout, with more people than expected. Volunteers put on a great event!

20230708 LINK 222 photos from our Stampede Breakfast. We got way more people than expected and 1300 sausages (Thank you Safeway!) disappeared quickly. Great weather and good time seemed to be had by all.

20230401 LINK 157 photos from the Easter Egg hunt. The event sold out, Tara did a great job organizing, the kids had fun, the volunteers were awesome, and it didn't snow. What more do we need?

20230108 LINK 68 photos from the first Shinny/Family skate event we've tried. Nicole volunteered to organize it, found some grant money from Councillor McLean. About 50 people showed up to skate, nibble cookies, and drink hot chocolate. The ice was in great shape thanks to our hard-working volunteer ice rink crew.

20221217 LINK 151 photos from the Kids Skate with Santa event. Mara did a great job organizing, Santa was awesome, and everyone seemed to be having a good time in the crisp weather. Thank you to Safeway for generously donating hot chocolate, cookies, and firewood. In case you went straight here without reading the top of the page, there's two points. One is that these are social media sized photos with minimal editing that you may download unaltered and use in your own social media. If you want a higher resolution version without the watermark because you want to print it, read the instructions above to give me the image info I need to find it in the more than 450 photos I took.

2022 0924 LINK Only 11 photos from the sale. I got there late and was told I'm missed the frenzy at the start, with lots of the items sold. In case you're wondering, I was in Yukon for the community cleanup, so any photos you see will be from someone else.

20200523 LINK 8 photos of our gardening club planting flowers to beautify our community association building.

 20191207 LINK 203 photos from the Kid's Christmas Party. I took almost 850 photos, and it was really hard to choose between them. My neighbours have some cute kids.

20191202 LINK 39 photos from the volunteer appreciation dinner.
