Your input is needed! 39th Avenue NW Park Upgrade Project

A Cambrian Heights resident is working with the Cambrian Heights Community Association, Parks Foundation and the City of Calgary to upgrade the playground on 39 Avenue between 9 and 10 Street NW.

The playground equipment is 30+ years old and is surrounded by a large green space with lots of potential.

Have your voice heard! 

With many of the surrounding playgrounds catering to children aged 5-12 years, the initial idea is to build a playground for kids in the 2-5 year range. 

This is your chance to share your input on this playground and ideas for the rest of the green space. From open play including soccer, cross-country skiing and tobogganing, to building seating, flower beds and infrastructure to host musical and theatrical performances, the bowl-shaped space offers many opportunities to enrich the community.  

Get involved

There are a few ways to get involved. To make this dream a reality, we need the community’s input to ensure the best use of this space. When the time comes, we will need input on equipment selection, fundraising assistance, monetary donations, labour and more.

If you’d like to get involved or share your thoughts, email ila_faye_dale@yahoo.ca.

We can do a lot together!

President’s Message – November 2024

This month will witness an active period for the Community with the Casino fundraising taking place November 4 and 5 at the Pure Casino. Only with the help of many volunteers may this major fundraising be  accomplished. We wish to thank all those that volunteered and especially thank our two organizers David Babich and Phillip Holcomb for their efforts to make the Casino a success. Later this month we will be holding our Lego Contest in November. Details of the contest may be found here. Later this month as the weather cools work will commence on our two outdoor ice rinks. This is only possible again thanks to volunteers through the winter months. If you can help out, please contact Scott Jacobson by email (scottcolleenj@gmail.com) or cell 403-771-9755 for more information.  

Many of you may have noticed that Calgary Parks planted well over 100 trees in our community during late September. Most went in the Dog Park along 32nd Ave but also in other park spaces within Cambrian Heights. While we did not have any advance notice or involvement in the tree placements we had made the Parks group aware of our receptivity for more trees in our park spaces. An unexpected surplus of  trees needing to be planted caught everyone by surprise but was to our ultimate benefit.  

For those who have followed the progress on the community sign project we are awaiting cost estimates  from two suppliers whose sign designs were the most popular in our survey. When we finalize the selection process a development permit will be applied for which allows for further community input. So everyone is aware we are also looking at our other park spaces and where we can contribute with the City on  developing new or updated playground facilities that enhance our community. 

Social activities are being planned by the Board for the fall/winter season which includes our annual Halloween Pumpkin Giveaway scheduled for October 26. We are attempting to organize further activities  around this event at the community hall. A repeat of our Lego Contest is also scheduled for November 30th. Other events into 2025 include our annual Polar party (February 1), a Volunteer Appreciation Night  and a Dog Park Event. If you wish to get involved with community social programs contact us at social@cambrianheightscommunity.com. Please read the newsletter or consult with our website for details of all future activities. anted 

We remain without a full time volunteer Treasurer on the Board. Please consider volunteering if you have  any accounting background. Contact us at president@cambrianheightscommunity.com with any questions or to discuss the level of accounting knowledge required.  

Stay safe and find a reason to talk with your neighbours.
