Greetings!
Now that we are well into spring our community association volunteers will be stepping up with an influx of ideas and plans for events during the warmer months here in Calgary. One of our most successful events is our annual Community Cleanup which takes place on Saturday, May 31 at the Westside King’s parking lot on 69 Street SW. This is a great opportunity to clean out the basement and garage of unwanted items, especially bigger and bulkier items that would otherwise need to be taken to the landfill. You can avoid the cost to use the landfill by stopping into the Westside King’s parking lot to drop off your items. See the article elsewhere in this newsletter for more details regarding acceptable items that you can bring for disposal or recycling. And many thanks in advance to our large team of volunteers who help organize and run the event. This event is run in collaboration with two other community associations, Signal Hill and Discovery Ridge.
We are planning an adult wine and cheese social event in June, so stay tuned for more information on this event. The weekly farm stand program also commences in June. We are also in the early stages of planning a children’s event that we hope to run on Neighbour Day in June.
We’ve had several new volunteers join us in the past few months which will help us ramp up our ability to hold more events and programs. We’ve also been busy working on a special project involving discussions with Alberta Transportation regarding the noise levels from the ring road traffic in our area. We are hopeful that they will address this and find a suitable sound attenuation solution for our community. We will keep you updated on this project as more details become available.
Finally, active community association members will receive a survey to help us gather more insights into our community demographics as well as soliciting feedback on ideas and preference for future events and programs. We do appreciate your response to this survey. And if you are not currently a member, please consider purchasing a family membership on our website for a low cost of only $25 annually.
Best Wishes,
