Season’s Greetings from the KRA.
A shout out and thank you to the Kincora Community Association Board members for this year’s skating rink build. Please note that participation with community projects should not be expected by only board members. When a request for volunteers is announced and no one responds it increases board member burnout and shows a decrease in support for the events that make Kincora a special place to live. Many hands make light work, and some of your time is worth so much more than realized.
As the community celebrates, Kincora can look forward to additional holiday lighting. In addition to Kincora Boulevard NW, a couple trees on Kincora Glen Road NW, and the Kincora Drive NW gazebo park should have some trees lit up! This winter has more holiday planter displays as well.
With colder temperatures, our furnaces will be working overtime! Calgary fire crews see an increase in carbon monoxide calls. Carbon monoxide (CO) is a poisonous gas that has no colour, smell, or taste. Long-term exposure can cause sickness or lead to death. The Calgary Fire Department wants you to have working CO alarms in your home, to warn you in case of exposure. Working CO alarms provide the only warning of dangerous CO gases in your home. Most commonly, the main source of CO gas in your home is your furnace, but of course you should monitor any household appliances which run on fossil fuels, like natural gas and propane.
If you are exposed to CO gas, you may get flu-like symptoms such as: headaches, nausea, dizziness, confusion, fatigue, and loss of consciousness. Other warning signs that you might have CO gas in your house include stale or stuffy air, a lot of moisture on windows and walls, a pilot light that keeps going out.
If you or anyone in your house experiences the symptoms of CO poisoning or your CO alarm goes off leave your house and call 9-1-1. Do not go back into the house until the Fire Department tells you to.
