Forward momentum in Nanton

Check out this fabulous news from Nanton. Their ACE Committee has now identified three ACE initiatives that will carry them through the summer. We love that forward momentum, Nanton!

1) Better Communications & Collaboration

Better Communications & Collaboration was the number one area for improvement that came out of Nanton's ACE Community Workshop in November 2010. How they plan to achieve this is through a community Web Site, which will be a place for ALL community organizations, groups, clubs to post information about upcoming events FREE of charge. The website will be supported by Nanton’s FCSS and the yearly maintenance fees and update costs will be provided from funds raised through on line advertising. They have also put in place an ACE Nanton Facebook page and an ACE Nanton Blog.

2) An event to help raise funds for the Roof Repair on their community Recreation Centre

Raise the Roof Ball Tournament and Dance during Nanton Days (July 30 – August 1). During their Nanton Day Celebration, ACE Nanton will be hosting a Ball Tourney and a Community Dance. Profits generated from these two events will go towards leveraging more funds to assist with roof repairs on their community recreation center.

3) Spring Community Clean-up Day

Annual Spring Community Clean-up Day. This day will bring members of the community together to help clean up their community. The day will end with a Community BBQ at the community centre.

Collaborating to renovate the rec center's roof is a good idea to kick off your project. May this project go well, and may it inspire a lot of people to join.
