We’re excited to share an update about your community events newsletter!
As you may have heard, the MAC Calendar is evolving into something new: LoveWB! This new website will serve as a one-stop hub for events, volunteer opportunities, and ways to get involved across Wood Buffalo. As part of this transition, your monthly events newsletter will soon be coming from LoveWB instead.
What does this mean for you?
Not much will change in terms of the content you know and enjoy. You’ll still receive a curated list of upcoming community events—it will simply come with a fresh new look and name.
ACTION: If you would prefer not to receive future LoveWB newsletters, you can unsubscribe from this list at any time. To opt out before the transition, please unsubscribe from this newsletter by May 6.
Otherwise, no action is needed—we’ll take care of the rest.
We’re looking forward to bringing you along for this next chapter and continuing to keep you connected to everything happening in our community.
See you at LoveWB
Website is still maccalendar.ca

This isn’t just a tasting… it’s YOUR chance to create a whisky.
For the first time ever, we’re handing over the creative control (yes, to you).
Join Bridgeland Distillery owners Daniel & Jacques as they guide us through an interactive blending session where we’ll craft an official McMurray Malt Maniacs blend.
Here’s where it gets even better…
We’ll create the blend together live in May
Then Bridgeland will produce, bottle, and ship it up to us after (500ml bottle)
Meaning when it arrives… you’ll be holding a professionally produced whisky that YOU helped design.
