Hope you’re staying warm in this cold weather! Here are some topics and questions we’ve received from residents this past month. For more information or to contact my office directly, visit jasminemian.com.
City Budget – Feedback Options
This month marks the annual budget adjustments. From November 20-24, Council will be receiving presentations from Administration and debating additions and adjustments to the budget. This year, the City has posted its investment options and the recommendations from their citizen-panel Financial Task Force. They are collecting public feedback on each of these, so visit calgary.ca/adjustments to view the full breakdown and submit a response.
As well, all residents are invited to speak at Council and share their opinions – via phone, in person, or written response. If you want to participate, visit https://www.calgary.ca/council/meetings/public-hearing.html to view your options and registration process.
Community Association – AGM
Two of our Community Associations, Sandstone MacEwan and Livingston, will be hosting their Annual General Meetings (AGMs) in November. The AGM is a great opportunity to meet the board of your local association, purchase a membership, and explore your options for getting more involved. A reminder that Ward 3 has four Community Associations: Sandstone MacEwan, Livingston, Hidden Valley, and Northern Hills. The holiday season is a great time to reach out to your local CA, so check out their social media to see what’s happening near you.
Clean Energy Improvement Program – Applications Open
The third round of applications for the CEIP program will open November 14 at 9AM. CEIP helps residential property owners with the initial costs of making energy efficient upgrades.
We expect to see a high participation again, so visit calgary.ca/CEIP ahead of time to prepare you application and be ready to submit at 9AM. This round is the last for 2023, but two more will open in 2024.
Ward 3 – Councillor Jasmine Mian proudly serves the following Communities: Aurora Business Park, Carrington, Country Hills, Country Hills Village, Coventry Hills, Harvest Hills, Keystone Hills, Livingston, MacEwan Glen, Panorama Hills, Sandstone Valley
