Introducing the Blueridge Community FUNdation

The Blueridge Community FUNdation is a program from the BCA to help fund activities in our neighbourhood that promote goodwill, social benefit, or good to the Blueridge Community. The BCA sets aside $1000 a year to support such events. Each event can apply to receive up to $250 per year. Click the link to learn more about the program and how to apply!

SPAM About the BCA

In mid-March, a company/person named Lilith Gray has claimed in an email sent to several people that it can sell the BCA’s ‘Distribution/Members list’. This is a SPAM message and a complete falsehood. The Blueridge Community Association has never shared (and will never share) its distribution list with any other parties. If you receive such an email, please disregard and delete it, as it might be more than just SPAM. It could be phishing.

Stay safe out there!

Dîner en Bleu – Looking for Volunteers

This fabulous event was held twice before the start of the pandemic. It was a dinner for about 120 participants held at a secret location in Blueridge with all the participants dressed in… blue! Like Blueridge Good Neighbour Day, we needed a (smaller) planning committee for this event. The good news is that there are organizing materials from the last planning committee that can serve as a template for an event next year. If you are interested in planning Dîner en Bleu for June 2025, please drop us a line at volunteer@blueridgeca.org.
