Hello Sage Hillians
You may have noticed in past community newsletters that the Sage Hill Community Association (SHCA) had dissolved. It’s been a trying year as Ross Utigard stepped down as President and has moved to a different community. First and foremost, I would like to thank Ross for all his years of dedicated time and volunteer work that he has put into this community over the past 12 years. Ross was instrumental in creating the website, getting the Ice Rink, the little libraries, the “rock” moved, shed, fire pits, and many more. His last feat was the planning and planting of around 800 trees in the ravine. Thank you, Ross, for all you have done for Sage Hill.
Since Ross’s departure, things were left up in the air with talks about dissolving the SHCA completely. I’m glad to say that, with the help of Aaron Taylor – City of Calgary Neighbourhood Partnership Coordinator, and the remaining SHCA Board members, that the SHCA will continue on! I have stepped up from Vice President to President, and all the other Board members have graciously agreed to stay on. The good news is that the show will go on with community events, food trucks, ice rink…and more. The not so good news is that this is my first kick at the can and I will be relying on my faithful team members and you, the community, to guide me along this journey to make Sage Hill a great place to live and be active in.
On To New Horizons
The SHCA is here for you! We would love to bring this community back to life with fun-filled events for all. I personally want to be proud of this community that I’ve lived in since its inception and meet as many neighbours as possible and have the community spirit that brings us all together. To achieve this, I need your help…we need your help. We have a great team, but we could always have more members on the Board. Sage Hill is broken up into multiple HOAs, business districts, fields, and a ravine. The only thing that represents all of us is the SHCA. Let’s pull together and be there for one another.
2025 is going to be a new beginning for the SHCA. More information will come in the following months as the Board needs to reignite its vision and get as many volunteers as possible to help make it all possible. If anyone would like to step into a role before the AGM in June 2025, please reach out to us at [email protected].
Regards,
Ron Howey
President, Sage Hill Community Association
