The DouglasQuarry Community Association (DQCA) is looking for enthusiastic volunteers to help support one of our largest annual fundraising events — our upcoming casino fundraiser at Deerfoot Inn & Casino on August 7 & 8, 2026.

Casino fundraisers play a major role in helping community associations like ours fund important initiatives, programs, and improvements that directly benefit residents. The proceeds from this event will go toward supporting community infrastructure, local programming, and future events in DouglasQuarry.

Why Volunteer?

Volunteering at our casino fundraiser is a meaningful way to give back to your community while helping us continue to create engaging programs, events, and improvements for residents.

We have various shifts and positions available, so whether you can commit to a full shift or have limited availability, there may be a role that works for you.

No previous casino experience is required for many roles, and guidance will be provided.

We occasionally receive inquiries about snow removal in our communities, and how to report pathways that aren’t being cleared/slip & fall hazards.

Pathway snow removal is managed by the City of Calgary.

The City is responsible for high foot traffic pathways that do not border a residential property. Snow removal on a sidewalk immediately adjacent to residential property is the homeowners responsibility.

Please report all snow removal concerns to the City of Calgary by calling 3-1-1 or by visiting the online 3-1-1 portal: https://calgary-cwiprod.motorolasolutions.com/

Spring is just around the corner -time to dig in, grow something delicious, and enjoy the sunshine!

No space or sunlight at home? Join us at the DouglasQuarry Community Garden, conveniently located in Douglasdale across from Swifty’s and beside the hockey rink.

Plot Details:

• 4′ x 8′ raised garden bed with water access
• $40 with a current DouglasQuarry Community Association membership
• Register online at www.dqca.ca

Bonus:

All gardeners are invited to a special gardening evening with Janet Melrose (Calgary Horticultural Society) on April 15th.

This spring, the City of Calgary is shutting down the Bearspaw South Feeder Main for reinforcement work. During this time it will be critical for residents and businesses to use less water since the Glenmore Water Treatment Plant will supply most of the city and region and will be operating at maximum capacity.

No outdoor water use will be permitted at this time. This means our outdoor rinks will continue to remain shut down for the remainder of the season. The City of Calgary is also urging Calgarians to take steps to reduce their indoor water use.

Top three ways to help save water indoors:

We’re asking residents of Douglasdale, Douglas Glen and Quarry Park to focus on taking the following three actions that we know make the biggest difference to household water consumption.

Only flush when needed

Skipping three flushes per day saves about 30 liters.

Take 3-minute showers

Every one minute you save in the shower saves up to 8 liters of water.

Run full loads of laundry only

Only run the washing machine and dishwasher with full loads.

The DouglasQuarry Community Association has been advised by Veterans Elite Drone Training Services that drone training and filming will be taking place TODAY from 1:30-3:00 p.m. at 108 Quarry park Road, SE, next to the Remington YMCA Facility.

This drone training and filming has been permitted by the City of Calgary.

Please note that noise and traffic may be disrupted during this time.

ROAD CLOSURE UPDATE: The City of Calgary has advised that water main repairs are now complete on Douglas Glen Boulevard. Calgary Transit is now operating in the area again, and traffic disruptions have come to an end.

The City of Calgary is investigating a water main break at Douglas Glen Blvd & Douglas Glen Bay. There is no word on how long the repair will take.
