We encourage everyone who is healthy and able to help their neighbours during this time when we could all use a hand. This could include helping get medication, groceries, walking a pet, or even just a chat on the phone.

Please consider printing the attached document, adding your information, and drop it off in a neighbour’s mailbox or in the lobby of your apartment building.

We understand that many of our residents may not be online, so please help spread the word!

As per direction from provincial health authorities, the community centre is closed until further notice. This applies to all activities, events, and programs run in the centre. We understand this may be an inconvenience, and look forward to working with all our programs to find a way forward. Please don’t hesitate to contact us or our hall manager at: hallmanager@banfftrailcommunity.ca

There have been increasing reports of coyote activity in our community and surrounding areas. Please take a look at recommendations from the City of Calgary.

Continuing our local artist series, our next artist is Terese Mullin.

Artist Statement & Bio:
My practice involves the exploration of time and health, specifically examining my ephemeral experience with Rheumatoid Arthritis (RA), which involves chronic pain, restricted activity and mobility. Choosing a positive approach, I celebrate and indulge in movement and a defiance of RA. Through my materials, I reference the invisible nature of the disease as well as the transience and uncertainty which are a part of the experience. The materials allow me to make something permanent out of the ephemeral.

I am a Contemporary artist living in Calgary, Alberta with my partner and my two most precious creations. I graduated with distinction from The Alberta College of Art and Design, now known as Alberta University of the Arts, with a Bachelor of Fine Arts. I have exhibited internationally and locally and enjoy teaching fine arts to children.

Continuing our local artist series, our next artist is Claire Hamel.

Claire is a self-taught artist, born and raised in Alberta. She has been drawing for most of her life and enjoys dabbling in and mixing mediums. As a big fan of fantasy, myths and legends, it is often the subject of her work and she loves including the mystery and magic of animals with a dash of Surrealism.

From all of us at Banff Trail Community Association, we would like to wish everyone a Happy Holidays, and we hope to see you in the New Year!

Our community is proud to feature works by our local artists.

Our first featured artist is Laura Barrett.

Laura graduated from ACAD in 2005 with a degree in fine arts.
Her most recent pieces are created on wood using a 3 tone palette. Wood cutting creates the white, pyrography (wood burning) creates the black, and the natural wood grain creates the mid-tone. Currently, she concentrates on portraits of animals and people.
