On behalf of the Bridgeland-Riverside Board of Directors, I would like to wish you all Happy New Year and best wishes for 2026.Our neighbourhood continues to grow and change. but what remains constant is the community spirit shown by our residents and businesses. I have no doubt that the coming year will provide many opportunities for us to support our neighbours and local establishments.
Being in the process of recovering from major knee surgery, I am very mindful of the condition of our sidewalks this time of year. For the most part, residents and businesses are very diligent at clearing snow and ice from their sidewalks in a responsible and timely manner. Doing so can be difficult for some of our older residents, so if you have a chance to be a “Snow Angel” for one of your neighbours, please do so. Your extra efforts will be very much appreciated. If you notice that the walks along parks and other public spaces are not being properly cleared, do not hesitate to report this to the 3-1-1 line as the City faces the same obligations as private property owners.
You will see in this issue of Bridges that we are seeking community input regarding the Calgary General Hospital Commemoration Project. Feedback from the community is extremely important as this project prepares to move toward further fundraising and planning. Please take a few minutes to complete the survey by January 25.
