Dear residents of Ward 4,
I hope this newsletter finds you well and in good health. I want to highlight two important topics that may be of interest to you.
First, Seniors’ Week is a special time in Alberta, taking place from June 5 to June 11. During this week, people show their gratitude and admiration for older adults for the various contributions they make to our communities. They volunteer, support charities, and assist family and friends.
This year’s Seniors’ Week celebrations are going to be even more exciting than ever before. There will be a variety of events designed to highlight the benefits and potential of aging. Individuals and organizations are working together to create fun and inclusive events throughout the week. Each day has a different sub-theme, such as “More of the things you love,” “More movement,” “More music,” “More learning,” “More fun with friends and family,” and “More time to celebrate.”
Everyone is encouraged to celebrate aging in their own way, even if they can’t attend the official events. You can help raise awareness of the week by using the social media hashtags #seniorsweek and #agefriendlyyyc. For more information about the activities happening during Seniors’ Week, you can visit calgary.ca/seniorsweek.
Secondly, QR codes are now being added to land use and development signs across the city, making it easier to find information about new projects. Instead of searching online or taking note of contact details, simply scan the QR code using your smartphone’s camera and be directed to the City of Calgary’s development map (https://dmap.calgary.ca/). This map shows proposed commercial and residential properties, and their status – whether they are under review, approved, or already underway. By exploring the map, you can learn more about the changes happening in your community, from new businesses to recreation centres.
Thank you for taking the time to read this newsletter.
Best Regards,
Sean Chu
