Community Cleanup Event

Caring community members, making a difference, together...

Please consider joining in with your neighbours to tidy up the community on Saturday, May 4, 10am - 2pm.  

This is a great opportunity to enjoy the nice weather, get some exercise, meet up with your neighbours, and help spruce up out neighbourhood.  Our past cleanup events have been well attended and the kids especially seem to enjoy them (great way to help build community spirit within our younger neighbours!).

Take Pride Winnipeg is helping out by making litter sticks and bags available for those who would like some supplies.

Please register for the event so we can provide you with the equipment pick up location and have an idea of how many people to expect.

We hope to see you all out there!!

Community Sale

Get your sale on!!!

Whether you are selling or buying, you are sure to have a blast at the Rpyalwood Community Sale on Saturday, June 1 and Sunday June 2.

The Royalwood Community Sale has always been a popular event, rain or shine and this year is sure to continue the tradition.

If you have a few items and are not sure if you want to have a sale, please consider joining forces with your neighbours.  The more people who paricipate, the more fun we will all have together!

We will have signage, newpaper articles, social media posts, and possibly some radio coverage to advertise the event.  So start getting your tables ready and practice your haggling skills!!

Voting

Your voice matters...

Our first membership vote is upon us!

We need to decide whether we want to apply for a MB Government Green Team Grant.  This would provide full funding for employees to perform general upkeep of the community May - Sep.

We also need to decide which weekend to hold our community garage sale (or if we even wish to have a community garage sale endorsed by  the RNA).

The vote is open to all RNA members who have paid their annual dues.  

The vote will be open until noon, Thu, Feb 8, 2024. 
 

Royalwood is a neighbourhood like none other with hectares of pristine river forest, kilometres of walking trails, and an abundance of lakes and parks.
