Recently, residents in the Anarchist community have expressed concerns about dog feces being left on subdivision roads and in other areas where people, bikes and vehicles can tread through it.
We can probably all agree that inadvertently tracking through a freshly laid pile of dog poop can really ruin a relaxing stroll or bike ride in the neighbourhood or on backcountry trails.
The AMCS will hold the Annual General Meeting on November 26th at 2pm.
We are looking for feedback from the membership on the future direction of the Society and will be providing a review of the activities over the past year. The financial update will show that the Society is now in good standing and has cut expenses to result in a surplus.
Big things have been happening at the Jamie Soule Memorial Park and we will unveil the results and seek your thoughts on what to do next.
Light refreshments will be served so come out and meet your neighbours at the Anarchist Mountain Fire Hall next Sunday!
We are excited to announce a change in our upcoming Anarchist Mountain Community Christmas Gathering. After much consideration, we have decided to transition this year from our beloved community potluck to a catered cocktail party.
Over the years, our community potlucks have been a cherished tradition, bringing us together over delicious homemade dishes, shared stories, and warm camaraderie. We’ve watched our community flourish and expand and our numbers have grown.
In fact, we have outgrown the space that the Firehall provides for a sit down meal in colder weather, hence our need to change things up this year.
Come and mingle with your neighbours at the firehall and enjoy the amazing food provided by Queen of the South Charcuterie. There will be some seating for those that need it.
We look forward to seeing you this year at the annual Community Christmas gathering. All mountain residents are welcome.
Tickets are limited and typically sell out! Get yours early for a chance to win one of two beautiful handmade quilts while supporting the AMFRS. It’s a win-win!

With the rain making way for clear skies, the Fall Gathering was a perfect embodiment of the season’s charm. Mountain residents gathered at the Jamie Soule Memorial Park on a Sunday afternoon to carve pumpkins, gather around the fire, roast hotdogs and make s’mores.
There were many long term residents as well as several newcomers that joined us for an afternoon. The park was the perfect place to enjoy an afternoon of autumn fun as the air was crisp and the leaves have changed colour.
Over the years, residents have cultivated a unique sense of spirit on the mountain. One way in which this close-knit community showcases their community spirit is through the decorating of the bronze statues for the different seasons and occasions. The latest transformation saw these statues dressed up to celebrate a kooky and spooky Halloween.
Have you seen this flagging tape near or at the entrance of your property?
If so, Anarchist Mountain Fire Rescue Society recommends that it is time to remove it, as long as it isn’t from your property survey.
This past spring, the Anarchist Mountain Fire Rescue Society received a grant from Wawanesa Insurance to help make the mountain safer during wildfire season.
The idea was the brainchild of Wildfire Prevention/FireSmart Lead, Gerry Moran, who also led the organization of a 1 km sprinkler line test close to the U.S. border this past July.
