February 2021
We <3 Everyone in AC!
Inspiring play in the every day.
We are showing our love in February!
We love our residents! One of our three main vision statements for our community is that “American Canyon is home to an engaged and diverse community”. We are proud to say this and live it each day. To truly live this vision statement, we do our best to acknowledge significant cultural events throughout the year! February has two such events, Black History Month and Lunar (Chinese) New Year. Of course, who could forget Valentine’s Day? We are planning some fun ways to celebrate these events with our community members! Please find out more about these and the significance behind such celebrations on our website.
To honor our love for the community, it’s diversity, and to help celebrate Valentine’s Day, we are bringing back the We ❤️ Everyone in AmCan campaign. We will have a drive-thru We ❤️ Everyone in AmCan event on Friday, February 12. Stop by to get some special items to celebrate the month.
We are excited to be partnering with the American Canyon Community & Parks Foundation for a celebration of arts & parks with Heart Your Parks! Check out the awesome activities planned to take place all month long at https://www.acparks.org/heartyourparks.
Stay active, healthy, and engaged.
Happy Trails!
Creighton Wright
Parks & Recreation Director

 New Class Alert!
Cooking Round the World
We want to bring the TV Network celebrity chefs experience to you! We will recreate signature dishes and learn how TV chefs became stars! We will also be learning how to make some Valentine's Day Treats for the whole family! Families will be sent the Zoom link, and recipes for ingredients to buy and cookware to prepare before class begins.
Our teacher, Miss Mindy has dedicated her life to helping children embrace that which is different. Through exposure to cooking and eating international foods, learning about cultural nuances, and understanding world-wide celebrations and practices, children leave a Cooking Round the World experience with a broadened palette, and a desire to explore the world.

We <3 Everyone in AC Drive Through!
Join us as we celebrate diversity! To celebrate the diversity that American Canyon has to offer, we will provide “We <3 Everyone” window decals, and some celebration treats during our drive-through. In partnership with the AC Arts Foundation you will also receive Valentine’s Day Card kits! As an extra treat, enjoy the live music as you drive through.
This event will take place on Friday, February 12th, at the Phillip West Aquatics Parking lot from 4 to 6 pm.
We would love to see you there, but if you can't make it don't let the love fest stop. Decorate your windows in your home or car with hearts to spread the love as you drive through town! Get creative with the family and let's show our community how much we care!
