Hanson Ranch in Hidden Valley Happenings
Much has happened in Hanson Ranch over the past few months! A neighbourhood garbage cleanup was completed on May 4 by a diligent group of twenty volunteers. Ten contractor-size garbage bags loaded with trash, along with a few bags of recyclables, were removed from our green spaces, parks, and streets. Hanson Ranch residents are eager to make this a regular event!
Throughout the month of May and into mid-June, volunteers took on the massive project of rejuvenating our community entrance sign and garden that had fallen into a sad state of disrepair. This was no small endeavour! The Hanson Ranch sign and adjacent fencing were repaired and the sign and attached logo given a fresh coat of paint. Once again, the sign is shining like new and proudly welcoming visitors to our neighbourhood. The entry garden to the Hanson Ranch sign was given a complete overhaul. Thanks to donations of plants from local gardening groups, funds received from Hanson Ranch Plaza businesses, residents, the Hidden Valley Community Association and mulch provided by the City of Calgary, we were able to make our entry along Beddington Trail a beautiful green space once more.
Everything that has been done has been the result of residents working together and giving their time to improve Hanson Ranch as a community. Starting with a ground swell movement that culminated in working with the City of Calgary’s Mobility department on traffic safety measures that we hope will be implemented throughout the summer and early fall of 2024, the motivation and determination continues to grow! That work, along with the rejuvenation and beautification of our community, make Hanson Ranch a shining example of what can be accomplished when we work towards building a safer and more attractive neighbourhood together.
