Howdy Rosemontians!
Summer has officially arrived, but we have had such a beautiful April and May, it feels like we are halfway through the year. Hope everyone has their gardens prepped and mostly planted as I’m sure it will be a great growing season!
We will be hosting our annual Stampede Breakfast on July 5 from 9:00 to 11:00 am. If you are interested in helping us make this another great event, please email us at [email protected]. More hands make for light work, and it is a ton of fun.
In May, we completed some major exterior work by laying down a large amount of mulch around the boardwalk and near the southwest corner of the hall. We also removed the fire pit as it wasn’t well utilized. These changes will improve drainage and reduce the amount of mud and dirt that can get everywhere.
Would you like to help shape your community and NW Calgary? In the not-so-distant future, Rosemont will be taking part in a Local Area Plan, which outlines what kinds of density and buildings belong on each street around Rosemont, Cambrian, Triwood, Brentwood, and Dalhousie. Our Community Association will have a seat at the table, and we need volunteers to help be the voice of our community. Learn more this opportunity at RosemontYYC.com/LAP.
We received our January casino payout in May, and this big chunk of money helps us tremendously. With the cost of goods and utilities are always on the rise, this amount helps us to offer free and low-cost events such as our Stampede Breakfast, September BBQ, Shinny, and other events. It also helps us make upgrades and maintenance to our hall as well. Once again, a big thank you to everyone who volunteered, and to Ian Kirkland for his leadership.
And with the beautiful weather, be sure to take advantage of Confederation Park in our backyard. We are once again paying to have a port-a-potty at the parking lot because we know how important it is to have this amenity, and the city has indicated they will not be implementing one. If you see any issues with it, please email us at [email protected]. We do our best to maintain it for all those who use the park but can’t monitor it 24/7.
As always, keep looking after your friends, family, neighbours, and yourself.
Matthew
