As summer says farewell for another year, it’s time to settle back into routine and prepare for the back-to-school season. We would like to remind residents to obey speed limits in our community. We thank you in advance for helping ensure the safety of our school-aged Kincorains. Unlike other jurisdictions in the province, Calgary does not require flashing red stop lights when boarding and unloading children.
According to Traffic City Bylaw 26M96:
“The operator of a vehicle bearing the sign ‘School Bus’ must not activate the alternately flashing red or amber lights on the vehicle while loading or unloading passengers on a street in the City.
(1.1) Despite subsection (1), the operator of a vehicle bearing the sign ‘School Bus’ may activate the alternately flashing red or amber lights while loading or unloading passengers on a street that does not have a curb on both sides of the roadway.”
Please be mindful and stay alert when driving in areas with children boarding or unloading from buses.
Symons Valley Park Update
We’re excited to share that the Kincora Residents Association (KRA) has contributed $300,000 in funding to the Symons Valley Leisure and Amenities Society (SVLAS) to support the development of Symons Valley Park.
SVLAS is a non-profit organization responsible for planning, building, and eventually operating the park. The original KRA funds was set aside set aside for our own sports amenities park, adjacent from the church. With the recent provincial government announcement for the school building budget and along with Calgary Board of Education, the land will now house a new school, complete with its own playground facilities.
In partnership with a $500,000 sponsorship from Ward 2 Councillor Jennifer Wyness, our funding will now contribute to the recreational area.
The park will serve residents from Kincora, Sherwood, Nolan Hill, and Sage Hill and will include the following:
• Natural forest with walking and bike paths
• Paved NHL-size multipurpose rink
• Basketball hoops
• Tennis and pickleball courts
• Bicycle skills park
• Playground
• Barbecue and picnic area
• Amphitheatre
This park will become an important hub for health, wellness, and recreation in the Northwest, and we want to give a special shoutout to Kris McPherson and his team for their hard work and dedication to making this happen!
