As the warmth of spring fills the air in Calgary, it’s time for residents to get outdoors and enjoy all that our community has to offer. However, with the changing seasons come some important safety tips and community updates that we want to share.

Ice Safety

This time of year, the ice on rivers, lakes, and storm ponds becomes even more dangerous because of the rising temperatures. While these bodies of water may still appear frozen, the ice is thinning and becomes unpredictable. Falling through can happen in an instant, putting individuals at risk of hypothermia or drowning. Ice safety tips: avoid the ice. As ice weakens, it becomes unsafe for any activity. Stay off all ice-covered rivers, lakes, and storm ponds. Stay back from the edges. Melting ice along riverbanks and lakeshores is unstable and can collapse under your weight. Call 9-1-1 in an emergency. If someone, or a pet, falls through the ice, do not attempt a rescue yourself. Call for help immediately.

Nails, Nails, and More Nails…

As part of ongoing construction in the area, please be aware that roofing nails and siding nails may be found in your yard, sidewalks, roads, and even your neighbour’s yard. Roofing contractors use magnetic sweepers, but nails can still travel far distances. Please take extra care when walking or playing outdoors.

2024 Mail Strike Update

Mailed in account payments have been reviewed and some December 31, 2024, interest charges reversed due to the postal delivery delays. Accounts with arrears – payment reminders for the balance owing along with an account statement have been sent. Paperless subscribers – if you can’t find the email, check your Condo Control account for your account statement in the link on your ‘Announcement’. Mail subscribers – check your mailbox. If you are unsure, contact our Simco HOA Manager. Your contact information or pre-authorized banking information may need updating. Information on the KRA website – www.KincoraResidents.org. Accounts eligible to be sent for collections will be sent one additional Simco final notice before the end of June.
