This month, I would like to introduce you to the inner workings of two of the WHMCA communications channels. The paper newsletter is distributed to every community household at the beginning of each month by Canada Post. However, our editorial deadline is the 12th of the previous month which means some information will be more than three weeks old by the time you read it. This can be too slow for fast-moving developments such as the Enmax power line proposals. To compensate for that, we also send e-newsletters once or twice per month to all WHMCA members by email. If you wish to have timely community information, please sign up for membership at https://winstonheights.ca/become-a-member/. Household membership is only $20 per year and allows you to volunteer, have free admission to seasonal events, vote at general meetings, and other benefits.
Following public engagement earlier this year, the City of Calgary will start work on upgrades to Munro Park in November. These upgrades will be additive to the work done in 2017 and will include natural play areas and gardens, 120 new trees, a community plaza, salvaged public art from Olympic Plaza, and a 3-on-3 basketball court. The work is scheduled to take a year to complete. Learn more at https://www.calgary.ca/planning/parks-rec/munro-park-upgrades.html.
Finally, the WHMCA Board of Directors is looking for additional board members and committee members. The Board of Directors meets the first Tuesday of every month except August starting at 7:00 pm. As a board member you can see all aspects of how the community association works and have a say in its direction. Want to be more focused instead? The Communications and Facility and Operations committees need additional members to progress ongoing activities and larger projects. If any of these roles are of interest to you, please contact Alex Reed at [email protected] or 587-582-5342.
Thanks,
Alex
