PUMP TRACK

We anticipate that the build would take approximately two to three weekends to complete, as work is 100% volunteer.

But we need help. Because of the generosity of local business, we have been able to keep our construction budget Extremely low. Would you consider joining Youth Action to make this park a reality? The Village office is accepting donations throughout normal office hours, any donation over $25 made at the Village office will receive a tax receipt. There is also a GoFundMe page available through our Facebook page.

Thanks for your time, and we’re excited for a great season of activities in Chase.

Chase Pollinators Initiative

submitted by Ashton Sweetnam, Chase and Area Young Learners Association

Our Society is preparing to launch an exciting series of projects as a part of the Chase Pollinators Initiative. In support of our local wildlife and diverse ecosystems, we will be installing a series of pollinator gardens throughout the Village of Chase beginning in spring 2023.

We began this initiative in 2022 with the creation of a pollinator themed mural led by Joey Nash and with the help of the children attending our CAYLS Art Camp and a handful of community volunteers. This is a largely volunteer run project, and donations of good quality tools, building materials, and time are welcome. We are looking for help from local gardeners with these pollinator gardens in the form of plant donations. As you begin your spring gardening please keep us in mind. We are looking for native plants, groundcovers, and of course- pollinator friendly plants.

Fresh made Platters – 3 sizes for your Catering needs

Meat & Cheese, Sandwich, Fruit & Veggie Soup and Lunch boxes perfect for your day meetings.

Grads at Chase Secondary are graciously accepting donations for their Safe Grad celebrations. Donations can be e-transferred to: drygradchase2023@gmail.com. Thank you for your support.
