Richmond West runs along the eastern flank of the south Pembina corridor — a quiet residential area between St. Norbert to the south and Fort Garry to the north. The drive to Socius is straightforward: north on Pembina to McGillivray, west to Waverley — about nine minutes. Acadia School and J.H. Bruns Collegiate families make up a good share of our Richmond West membership. Free on-site parking and a clean Mon–Thu evening schedule (5:45pm start) mean training slots integrate without rearranging the whole evening.
