Happy New Year!
I hope your holidays were filled with rest and time with loved ones. Looking forward to 2025 and all that the year will bring.
Here are some updates related to new City initiatives and programs.
Transit Advocacy and Snow Detours
I have heard first-hand from many residents how important reliable transit is to them. As our city grows, I will continue to advocate for funding and improvements to transit.
This past fall, I was successful in making some efficient changes to several bus routes in Ward 3. These changes mostly affect the communities of Panorama Hills, Hidden Valley, Hanson Ranch, Livingston, and Carrington. You can read about the changes made and the current snow detours at jasminemian.com/news.
New Skating Rink in Ward 3!
We’re fully in winter mode, and a new ice rink opened last month in Sandstone! My office worked with the Sandstone MacEwan Community Association to secure City funding for their new boarded rink. Their volunteers work incredibly hard to maintain two community rinks, so if you want to help out, visit sandstonemacewan.com.
You can view a map of all ice-skating rinks across the city at calgary.ca/parks/activities.
Protect Water Lines from Freezing
Every winter, some Calgarians will experience frozen pipes, resulting in a water outage.
Recently, there’s been an increase in frozen pipes. These steps can prevent pipes from freezing:
• Keep your thermostat at a minimum of 15°C.
• Eliminate any cold drafts in unheated areas.
• Repair broken windows, check doors, and insulate areas.
• Insulate water pipes in cold areas.
• Open interior doors and cabinets in cold areas.
• Turn off, disconnect, and drain the water lines to outside features.
• Regularly run water in your pipes.
