Important Update: Asado and Open Mic
September 20, 2018 by Leave a Comment
The thrill of living in a northern climate is certainly testing our hardiness this weekend. Even though the cool weather will still be with us on Saturday, we are excited to bring the community together to celebrate Fall and enjoy good food, music and fun.
Pablo and Gray will roast our pork and lamb outdoors but we will bring the music and a few different activities indoors. Unfortunately, we may not be able to use any of the inflatables in the cold, wet, weather so we are trying to find alternative fun for our younger guests.
Music and activities begin at 3pm
Dinner at 5pm
Music and mingling continue from 7-9pm
Thank you to the people who have already signed up to lend a hand. We could still use a bit more help, so please go to the link below to see how you can pitch in:

Family Fun at the Asado and Open Mic
September 17, 2018 by Leave a Comment
September 22nd is fast approaching! We are pleased to announce two inflatables sure to be a big hit with the kids: a bouncy house and an obstacle course. We’ll also have Bocce, horseshoes and volleyball. If anyone wants to bring their softball equipment, there are two diamonds at our disposal.
We could use some help at the event. Pitching in is a great way to get to know your neighbours. You can sign up for a task using the link below, and we’ll have a sign-up sheet at the event as well.

Nights get cooler this time of year, so please dress accordingly. If we get rain, we’ll still slow roast outdoors, but we’ll bring the stage and modified activities inside the Hall.
If you’d like more information please contact us at social@cambrianheightscommunity.com or call Jodi at 403-276-4242.

Dog Park Closure Update September 17, 2018
September 17, 2018 by Leave a Comment
On September 14, the City Planning Department informed community residents that Calgary Parks had withdrawn their Re-Designation Application DL2018-0062 converting the Community’s existing Reserve (S-SPR) Park land bounded by 10th Street and 32nd Avenue into S-CRI (Special Purpose – City and Regional Infrastructure) classification thereby allowing an expansion of the Queen’s Park Cemetery (“QPC”) onto these lands.
These lands are currently being used as a Dog Park and have been part of the Community since its inception in 1956. We wish to thank all those residents who filled objections and/or attended the two Open Houses sponsored by the City to express their opposition. We also wish to thank Councillor Chu for his help and Calgary Parks for responding to this overwhelming opposition by withdrawing their Application.
To those residents who volunteered to research the history of the lands, who dedicated considerable time in formulating written informational bulletins, who walked our streets passing out community informational letters and who took every opportunity to talk with their neighbours, a special thanks from the Board of Directors.
Community Cleanup 2018 was a Success!
September 17, 2018 by Leave a Comment
On September 9th. the Community hosted another successful Community Cleanup for yard waste, metal recycling, household waste and electrical appliances, tires and reusable clothing.
None of this would have been possible without the organizational leadership of community resident Gary Wilson and his volunteers.
The Community appreciates the efforts that went into our third year of this event. If you would like to get involved in future events of this type please let us know at cambrianheights@gmail.com

Fire up the fun with local live music and grilled farm fresh food!
August 28, 2018 by Leave a Comment
September 22 marks the beginning of Fall; come celebrate the season with friends and neighbours over delicious food, music and fun. Too often we forget to take the time to enjoy the simple pleasure of enjoying the company of others. So walk over to the Hall to relax, lend a hand, or share your musical talent at our first ever Asado and Open Mic.
If you’re not familiar with the term asado, it is a gathering involving an open fire, fresh food and neighbours. People lend a hand in the preparation and grilling – a great way to get to know each other while creating a beautiful meal for all to share.
Our stage welcomes all musicians. No matter if you’re just learning the ukulele, or you’re a seasoned singer, or play in a garage band – feel free to share your passion with us. There will be a sign-up sheet at the stage to play up to 4 songs at a time. We’ll provide the basics so you can plug and play.
Fun and games in our community fields – bring your gear for a game of softball, enjoy the bouncy house (thanks Glenn), mini golf, or challenge your neighbour to a game of bocce or horseshoes.
Before the cooler temperatures have us behind closed doors again, come out and enjoy a gathering of friends and neighbours.
