Town Hall: Thank you to everyone who attended the Town Hall hosted on September 26, whether in person or virtually, and to those that took the time to submit feedback. It was a very positive meeting, and we are excited to be moving forward with continued resident engagement.

AGM: Our Annual General Meeting is scheduled for Thursday, November 28. We look forward to seeing you there to present a recap of the 2023 fiscal year, an update about the work that has been done and continues to be done in 2024, and to discuss ideas for 2025 and beyond.

CHOA? CCA? City of Calgary?

Like the survey that was circulated earlier this year, many comments provided through the Town Hall Google document indicated general confusion as to the responsibilities of the CHOA, the Crestmont Community Association (CCA), and the City of Calgary.

The CHOA is responsible for the grounds and amenities we own. This includes the hall, spray park, playground, fire pit, and land (along the boulevard and adjacent to the hall). To provide added value to the residents of Crestmont, the CHOA has been engaged in additional snow and ice removal in the community, and this year will engage in enhanced landscaping in the community. In taking on these considerable tasks, the CHOA supports the community in benefitting from a higher level of service than the City of Calgary would otherwise provide.

As a liaison to the City of Calgary, the CCA would be the community voice for the residents of Crestmont. Please refer to the chart that speaks to the different mandates the CHOA and the CCA have, and if you are interested in being part of the revival of the CCA, we encourage you to reach out to us, as we are happy to facilitate this process.

We encourage you to visit the City of Calgary website for information pertaining to:

• Wildlife and animal control (including bylaws surrounding defecation)

• Airbnb concerns

• Traffic control

• Noise bylaws

• Snow removal on City and private property (not including the areas taken on by the CHOA)

We look forward to continued engagement with you and hope to see you out at the events being hosted at the hall over the next few months. You can reach the board directly by emailing [email protected].
