Board Updates
We can’t welcome spring without celebrating another successful year at the rink. Thank you so much to the rink crews for working through -30 and melting temperatures to keep Glendale’s treasured rink in shape through our winter season. We celebrated the rink crew at a local pub in April…it was a tie between Wednesdays and Saturdays being declared Best Rink Night.
Updates from the City of Calgary
Street sweeping started April 14! If your street hasn’t been swept yet, you can check your location on the schedule at: https://www.calgary.ca/roads/maintenance/spring-street-cleaning.html.
The City is working to grow and expand our tree canopy coverage to 16%. You can help through the annual Branching Out program. Trees are provided at no cost by the City of Calgary; see: calgary.ca/branchingout. The City has also launched a pilot project called the Community Tree Ambassador Program. Community Tree Ambassadors help their community advocate for an increased or improved urban canopy. Reach out to [email protected] if you are interested!
Starting April 22, many Calgary households saw blue, black, or green cart pick-up days moving to improve routes. These updates also align with the return of city-wide weekly green cart collection. The new collection schedules are available on calgary.ca/cartschedule.
The City of Calgary is offering complimentary compost made from the Green Cart program for residents to use in their yards and gardens this spring. Compost is available for pickup from April 14 to May 31, by appointment only, at Shepard (South) and Spyhill (North) landfills. To book an appointment or for more information, visit calgary.ca/compost.
