Thank you to RPSCA volunteers!

River Park South The River Park South Community Association (RPSCA) held its annual general meeting and the election of its board of directors on April 10 at the Louis Riel Library. President Saumik Gupta highlighted the association's significant successes in actively fostering a stronger sense of community through a variety of well-received events, including the popular annual garage sale, the family-friendly Halloween and Christmas fun runs, and the widely attended Canada Day celebrations. To ensure the continuation and expansion of this vital work and to broaden their positive impact on River Park South, the small but mighty volunteer board is actively seeking new members who support the vision of a community connected through engagement and events. Additionally, they are reaching out to local businesses to establish mutually beneficial sponsorship opportunities and are eager to welcome more volunteers who can contribute their time and talents.

RPS residents can look forward to the return of the association's signature events, as well as exciting new initiatives currently in development, such as a summer run/walk, an alternative take on Christmas photos, and the continuation of their important program providing support to families in need through thoughtfully prepared hampers. Valuable feedback gathered from a recent community survey has also paved the way for potential new projects. Survey respondents expressed interest in seeing the board explore the implementation of a community-wide clean-up initiative, investigate the establishment of a Neighbourhood Watch program to promote safety and security for all residents, and explore building a covered picnic area that would serve as a gathering space for the entire community.
