Happy Thanksgiving from the KRA! We have a lot to be thankful for in our community, including the beauty of mother nature and the walking trails. The KRA is happy to announce the installation of three park benches, to be installed in the ravines and are in the final approval stages. The locations that have been selected are:
• North ravine (Mattamy Trail) by pathway access to Kincora Glen Rise NW
• South ravine by pathway access to Kincora View NW
• South ravine by pathway access to Kincora Park NW
Whether you’re taking a relaxing break from your walk or simply want to enjoy the beauty of the ravines, these benches will make welcome additions to Kincora.
As work continues on the affected houses from August’s storm, please be mindful that roofing and siding replacement in our community may result in loose nails. Check your yards and roadways for nails that may have ended up on the road and sidewalks. For homeowners that have replaced shingles or upgraded to a more durable siding (cement siding for example), advise your insurance company when the work is completed. These improvements could reduce your insurance premiums.
The refurbishment of the Kincora entry wall located at the intersection of Symons Valley Road and Kincora Blvd is now complete. The wall is nearing its 25th year and was beginning to show signs of erosion and deterioration. Masonry slabs were placed on top of the wall to cap and seal the interior.
The City of Calgary has a great resource on its website that talks about preparing and protecting your home from a hailstorm and how to proceed if your home is damaged. Hopefully, the hailstorm season has passed. https://www.calgary.ca/development/home-building/hail.html?redirect=/hail.
As our kids head back to school and we look towards a new semester, you might start wondering about ways you can support your community, or what resources are available to help you launch your new business or permit your basement suite. You can register for an upcoming home and small business webinar where City experts share their insights on a variety of planning and development topics. Live and recorded webinars cover everything you need to know about home renovation requirements, small businesses best practices, and more. For more information, visit calgary.ca/webinars.
Another season of sports, dancing, scouts, and guiding is upon us. If your organization is fundraising (bottle drives for example), you can add your event to Condo Control, the online website managed by SIMCO property management. Be sure to submit your event in advance, so it can be added to the online calendar of events. You can also reach out to us as well to request it be added at kincoraresidents.org.
Speaking of activities, be on the lookout for ghosts, goblins, and all things that go “bump in the night.” Halloween is Thursday, October 31. We ask that you remain mindful of your speed and anticipate an increase in residents on our streets.
Until next time, take of yourselves and each other.
