I happened upon this place quite by accident. Actually, I was online looking for writing contests…read moreand courses when I came across the page for the Writers Guild of Alberta. After spending a great deal of time looking through the site, I decided that I wanted to become a member. Since they don't take payment online, I went down to the office in the Percy Page Centre. It's a pretty small office but there was a desk just inside the door where I told the girl I wanted to sign up. While she processed my membership, she directed me to a library area. I felt right at home in the small office. There were some great reference books related to writing. Someone else in the office informed me that aside from the reference books, all other books in the library were written by Alberta authors. It was fascinating! I saw a few familiar names but a lot I'd never seen or heard of. It's great to know that there's so much literary talent in the province!

I joined the writer's guild this winter because a family friend insisted on buying me a membership…read morefor my birthday. I was excited when we first went down and I was looking forward to making some connections. When we went into the centre, the person who was manning the front desk seemed very disinterested in us being there and didn't know much about her position. We were asking her questions and she didn't know the answer to any of them, After leaving the office, my family friend told me about all the perks that were involved in membership and I was pumped. It is now 2 months later and I have yet to find any worth in the $30 that was spent on the membership. I feel bad that I received membership as a gift from someone who was so excited about it, but it just doesn't do much at all. Yes, you can get discounts on retreats (They still cost upwards of $500) and you can go to lectures and talks from authors in Alberta which is cool, but I hear about enough of these through my school. You are supposed to receive monthly "Writer's Guild of Alberta" publication (I never received one) and weekly e-newsletters into your inbox (mine stopped 2 weeks ago for some reason). To sum up? I won't be reapplying for membership next year.

I've only ever been here once. And so my impressions of this really bright venue is limited to what…read moreI've seen this one time. But the card room is large and spacious and the facilities look ideal for what they are. There seems to be ample parking. The seniors I know who frequent this site on a regular basis really enjoy it here and are quite involved. Rooms are good for rental.

On Saturday, May 5, 2018, the German Canadian Cultural Association was the venue for a fundraiser…read morefor a little girl who suffered a traumatic brain injury on November 1, 2017. The fundraiser was meant to raise money so that this little girl can leave the hospital and live with her Mom in a wheelchair-accessible home. I was a guest at this event, and I was impressed with the quality and quantity of the food that was provided, the care and efficiency of the staff, and the generosity of the President and Board of the German Canadian Cultural Association for providing the venue and dinner for over two hundred guests,,, for FREE. It was the most generous gesture in a night full of generous gestures. This is despite the fact that the family in question has no German roots or any direct connection with the Association. I would recommend this venue for any kind of event. It's a pleasant place with a warm atmosphere and the meal was delicious. It was well-equipped for live entertainment and audio/video presentations. The staff did a fine job to accommodate a large group. It was an unforgettable experience for everyone involved
