It was a pleasure to celebrate the holiday season with you all at our Holiday Party in December and the Caroling Event organized by Centre Street Church. 2013 is going to be a fabulous year and I welcome it with enthusiasm! Along with welcoming in the New Year I am eager to also welcome others who are new to our fabulous neighborhood. Welcoming others into our community is a strength of Bridgeland Riverside and I believe sets us apart from any other.

Nawaf, the owner of Tazza Mediterranean Deli, also stopped by to say welcome. “It’s like a small town”, says Penner. Th is act of welcoming had an impact. She and her husband instantly decided they would never leave Bridgeland. It’s amazing what a warm welcome can do and how it creates a supportive environment to all who reside in our community! I am always inspired by the engaging events and initiatives that are being lead and continue to be led by residents, businesses, and key stakeholders in our community. Th ey too establish a welcoming culture to our neighborhood. Deb Lee, a resident in our community, is working hard to connect with our senior lodges in our neighborhood. She writes a regular column in our newsletter entitled “Th e People and Places of Bridgeland/Riverside” whereby she introduces our community to the various businesses and services.
