The annual Community Cleanup is scheduled for Saturday, July 22 from 9:00 am to 2:00 pm. CMCA has partnered again with the City of Calgary Waste and Recycling Services and Community Strategies to help residents get rid of unwanted household items.
This free event saves residents a trip to the landfill with items that do not fit into their black carts and for residents who do not have cart service. The City of Calgary Waste and Recycling Services will provide three packer trucks at the community centre to collect unwanted trash. There will be no truck collecting household organic waste – please use your green cart.
CMCA has planned to have additional recycling vendors on-site in addition to the City of Calgary packer trucks. Community members can also drop off used tires and old batteries (car, truck, boat – not household batteries), electronic recycling, scrap metal, old propane tanks, gently used household goods (for donation), and paper shredding. We will also have limited pick-ups for our senior community members who are unable to get their trash to the community centre on July 22. You must be a current community member and be pre-registered for a pick-up. Call or email Bonnie in the office to have your name added to the list.
Once again, this year, CMCA has partnered with a local landscape partner to provide those “Big Yellow Bags” of dirt and/or mulch that we all need for gardening and landscaping delivered right to your home. For every Big Yellow Bag ordered using the community code, CMCA23, you will save $5 per bag and the CMCA will receive a $10 donation.
If you have passed by the community hall lately, you probably noticed the new solar panels attached to both facilities. Canyon Meadows community was one of the many community associations selected for the solar installations under the ENMAX Community Solar Fund. The engineering, equipment, and installation costs were all fully funded by ENMAX under contract with The City of Calgary, with all equipment belonging to The City. The electrical load supplied by solar for our site is estimated to be 105.28% of our consumption. Pretty impressive numbers for sure! The system is not yet connected to the grid but stay tuned for additional updates. Canyon Meadows Community Association is thrilled and grateful to be part of the ENMAX Community Solar Fund.
Until next month…
