CelebrateNeighbourDay 2023

The 10th annual Neighbour Day is on June 17th. You can celebrate your community spirit and neighbourly kindness by having a block party or BBQ, organizing a cleanup, decorating your yard, gathering with neighbours for a fun sport activity, games, or kids’ crafts, or make up your own way to meet your neighbours and build community togetherness

Neighbour Day started in June 2014 to celebrate the incredible outpouring of support and generosity of neighbours following the 2013 floods Each year on the third Saturday in June, we continue to celebrate one of the things that makes Calgary such a great city — our strong and caring communities. You can also request a visit from Mayor Gondek, your area Councillor, a police officer or a fire truck.

Lifejackets are available at our lifejacket loaner stations, at the entrances to the beach, and at the boathouse. They are available free of charge and for all patrons to use

Lifejackets are mandatory when using any ABRA watercraft and are strongly recommended for other water activities

Parents and guardians - please keep your children within arms reach at all times and remember to use active supervision

Auburn House has a large park and it only takes a second for a child to dart off.

The swim area is defined by the buoys, however please be mindful that the water levels vary within the swim area.

For your safety, please do not swim past the buoys, and be cautious when approaching the area as there is a significant drop and it gets very deep.

Always swim with a buddy

If you see someone in distress, there are red rescue tubes located along the beach wall and at the boathouse, throw bags at each lake accessway, reaching poles at the boathouse and fishing dock and rescue life rings on the floating docks

Remember that many ABRA staff members are trained first aiders. All staff working in the park will have on staff attire

There are AEDs located in the Zamboni room and in the main lobby of Auburn House. Don't forget that ABRA staff are not trained lifeguards Use the facilities at your own risk

Please be mindful when you are sending your small children out on inflatables. The winds can vary and change very suddenly

Know and be confident in your swimming abilities.

Please educate your guests on ABRA policies, procedures and rules, especially surrounding water safety. Many close calls that we experience at Auburn House are with guests of residents as they are not familiar with water safety expectations.

As we dive into the summer season, Let's prioritize water safety during your visit to the lake!

We are excited to announce an upcoming fishing event for the kids in our community. With the support of Alberta Conservation Association, Auburn House is hoping to run our own Kids Can Catch Event this summer. Our goal is to introduce Auburn Bay Kids to the wonderful world of fishing while fostering their love for the outdoors. We are looking for mentors to volunteer their time to the event. By volunteering as a mentor, you will have the opportunity to share your expertise and inspire young minds to utilize their new fishing skills. No prior mentoring experience is necessary. We welcome anglers of all skill levels who have a genuine enthusiasm for teaching and engaging young fishers. Whether you are an experienced angler or a recreational fisherman, your participation will play a vital role in making this event a success
