On Sunday, July 12, a crew of neighbours gave up a beautiful morning to get Signal Hill's shared spaces ready for the season: fresh, crisp lines on the basketball court, tightened boards on the outdoor rink, and a few handrails freshened up while the paint was out. No paid crew, no work order, just neighbours with their own tools. We put together a photo recap of how the day went.
On the court: Gord, Chen, Sheri, Terry, and Brian. On the rink boards: Craig, Paul, and Walt. Thank you, all of you.
Repainting court lines is more masking tape than paint, and the crew laid out every arc and key by hand before rolling on the colour. Over at the rink, another team worked around the boards with drills and ratchets, re-securing hardware that had worked loose. The full story, in pictures, is on the News desk.
A community garden bed, a mural on the boards, a movie night at the rink? Tell us. Email [email protected] and if there's interest, we'll find a way.
You're always welcome, no experience needed, we'll show you the job. Keep an eye on the events calendar for the next work day.
