Howdy Rosemontians!
The ice rinks have had another eclectic year so far. After a very late start to flooding due to warm weather in November, the rinks were terrific over the holiday season, but it was so stinkin’ cold that they didn’t get used as much. And with the Bearspaw water main break at the end of the year, water restrictions prohibited us from some prime flooding time in early January. But that didn’t stop the Ice Guys from scraping consistently and even thinking outside the box. While waiting for their showers to warm up, they put buckets under the faucets to save that clean water that would have otherwise gone to waste and brought it down to help fill big divots in the ice. Talk about dedication to the ice! There is a reason we have the best outdoor ice rink in the city, and it is all thanks to dedicated volunteers. So, a big thank you guys!
Shinny has been off to a good start again in January. Once again, a big thanks to the wonderful volunteers this year!
We may be hosting a joint community and school skating party in early February so please visit our website for more information.
December and January were busy for us at the hall with some upgrades and changes. We implemented a fire alarm system, lighting updates, painting, barn doors to hide the tables and chairs, and other various improvements that make for a better experience for all those who use the hall. Thank you Kurt for all of your work during this time!
Ensuring sidewalks are clear is not only part of being a great neighbour, but it is also your responsibility, and you can face fines up to $750. While gas-powered blowers are permitted to assist with these activities, we ask that you try to be mindful of their use, particularly during early hours as they can be quite loud for surrounding neighbours in the crisp air. Please visit calgary.ca/snow for all bylaws and info related to snow removal and noise. Thank you for your help in being great neighbours and keeping Rosemont a great place to live.
If you are interested in helping with our community association, we always welcome new ideas and folks. We still have our Secretary position available, or if you are interested in becoming a board member, please reach out to [email protected] for more information.
As always, keep looking after family, your neighbours, and yourselves.
Matthew
