Willow Park Open House

WRCA Open House

Thank you to everyone who attended
our community open house. This was an excellent opportunity to meet one-on-one
with all three levels of our government! Rob Ward, City Councillor for Ward 11,
MLA Calgary Acadia – Diana Batten, and MP – Calgary Midnapore Stephanie Kusie
we all present with their respective teams to meet with our residents.

We also showcased our community
soccer association, various events offered and organized by our community
association, and our Greener Grounds initiative which involves improving our
parking and landscape around the community association building.

Also on display was our work with
the City of Calgary Urban Forestry group looking at the overall health of trees
and how to plan and manage replacing aging trees that have met their typical
life span, been damaged from drought or insect infestations. Putting a plan
into place and budgeting for this over several years is an important proactive
position we have adopted with the Urban Forestry Team to ensure we have a
healthy tree population in WPMR.

Calgary Municipal Land Corporation
had information available on plans for developing the area around the Anderson
LRT station, looking at a mix of residential and commercial development,
consistent with what has been in planned for in the Heritage Local Area Plan
for many years. Information was also available from the city on a project to
improve utilization of 90 Avenue/Acadia Drive from McLeod Trail to Anderson
Road. The city will have more on this project later.
