Coaldale to kick off first annual Civic Plaza Winter Series

Posted on December 5, 2024 by Sunny South News

Town of Cocaldale

As part of Coaldale’s first annual Winter Fest, the Town is organizing a Civic Plaza Winter Series. 

The Series will run until Saturday, Dec. 21 and provide local community groups, organizations, and businesses with an opportunity to host a Christmas-themed event at the Town’s new Civic Plaza. Host groups will not only be given access to the Town’s brand-new concession and outdoor skating rink, but will also be given complementary hot chocolate to serve during their events. 

“While planning for Winter Fest, we talked a lot about how to involve as many community groups, organizations, and businesses as possible and so came up with the idea of organizing a Civic Plaza Winter Series,” said Clayton Varjassy, community experience manager for the Town of Coaldale. “Generally speaking, the idea is to provide various local groups and businesses with access to a baseline set of amenities and refreshments like hot chocolate that they can then use to host their own Christmas-themed event at Civic Plaza.” 

Thus far, seven community groups and/or businesses have signed up to host an event at Civic Plaza including: the Kinette Club of Coaldale, Southern Alberta Homes, the Kinsmen Club of Coaldale, the Coaldale Canadian Reformed Church, the Coaldale Chamber of Commerce, the Coaldale Real Estate Centre, and Red Door YQL. Event dates and details are as follows:
