Greetings from NESA

Wow, February has flown by, and what a wonderful and busy season it has been! We hope you’ve been enjoying your activities and connecting with friends here at NESA!

It has been great to see the weather improving; we look forward to even more warmth and sunshine as we step into March. As we wrap up this month and welcome a new one, we have some important updates to share with our community.

Please read below for some important information about the Northgate Facility and NESA operations, along with some exciting details about upcoming events—we would love for you to be a part of them.

We look forward to seeing you soon!

Important Dates to Note

Bottle Drive Fundraiser at NESA: March 5

Creative Greeting Card Lobby Sale: March 14

St Patrick's Day Event: March 14

NESA Dance Night: March 28

NESA Annual General Meeting: April 4

Kuhlmann's Greenhouse Gift Card Fundraiser: Ongoing until April 23

Northgate Temporary Closure: August 2025

During the rehabilitation work on the Northgate Lions Centre project in 2023-2024, it was discovered that EPCOR had updated the enclosure requirements for the Main Distribution Panel [MDP], and the enclosure as designed would no longer meet new code requirements.

The main distribution panel replacement is an important aspect of the facility rehabilitation as the current panel has exceeded its life expectancy. Unfortunately, the lead (order) time on the new approved panel was 26 weeks and therefore would not arrive until after the main project was completed.

The project will require another shut down of the Northgate Lions Recreation Centre in the summer of 2025 to complete the installation of the MDP panel.

The Northgate closure is tentatively scheduled for August 5-25, 2025.

What does this mean for NESA?

Operations will continue as scheduled between now and the end of July. In the coming months we will update you with more information about where our temporary office will be located during the building closure. Rest assured, when we have more information and details confirmed we will share this with you!

Free Income Tax Clinic at NESA

The NESA's Free Income Tax Clinic is back! This is a partnership between NESA and the CRA with the intent to provide free income tax service to local seniors.

The tax clinic will run from March 10 to April 30, 2025.

To be eligible, you must be a senior with an income that is less than $35,000 for one person and $45,000 for two people.

If you qualify and would like to access the program, please give us a call at 780-496-6969. When you call, we will book your appointment. Feel free to tell your friends and family!

Beware of Icy Surfaces!

As we continue to experience continuous melting-freezing cycles, the Northgate parking lot can be quite icy at times, even with the City of Edmonton's efforts to lay sand and gravel.

If you need assistance walking from your car into the building, please call us at 780-496-6969 and a staff member would be happy to come and assist you into the building.
