City-wide engagement on Connect: Calgary’s Parks Plan

Dear Ward 4 Residents,
 
The Parks and Open Spaces department of the City of Calgary is seeking feedback from citizens on a new 20-year plan for the city’s parks. The new plan, called Connect: Calgary’s Parks Plan, will guide the development, redevelopment, and management of parks in Calgary.
 
Anita O’Driscoll, Business and Policy Planner, explained that it has been 20 years since the last long-term plan was completed, and the needs of Calgarians and the city have changed, making it the right time to undertake this work. The goal is to deliver exceptional, sustainable, and inclusive parks for all Calgarians, both now and in the future.
 
The public engagement process will consist of three rounds of city-wide feedback focused on the themes of environment, culture, and wellness, and how these themes connect with the City’s parks and green spaces. Calgarians are encouraged to provide feedback online or through in-person events hosted in various locations throughout the city until May 19, 2023. Accessibility and inclusion are also important considerations, with efforts made to gather input from equity-deserving groups and individuals.
 
O’Driscoll emphasizes that city-wide engagement with all Calgarians is crucial for the success of the plan, as these public spaces are for everyone and play a vital role in a healthy, vibrant, and resilient city. Parks bring significant environmental, social, and economic benefits to Calgary, and feedback from as many people as possible is sought to create a plan that works for the city, the environment, the communities, and the future.
 
For more information, to provide feedback online, or to find an in-person event, visit https://engage.calgary.ca/Parksplan.
 
Thank you in advance for your engagement and valuable feedback.
 
Best,
Andrew
Ward 4 liaison to Cllr. Sean Chu

Reception to Follow

Community Board Meetings

The Board of Directors meets ten times a year, generally the first Monday of the month at 6:30PM. Residents have in the past been welcome and encouraged to attend these meetings. They have been held over the past few years at the City of Calgary office in the Georgina Thomson Building on the corner of 14th Street and Northmount Drive. Due however to COVID-19 protocols, the City has limited the occupancy of this building such that Board meetings have been returned to the Community Hall at 600 Northmount Drive.
The Community Hall, being City-owned, is a mask required facility unless there is an event closed to the public. We are therefore requesting, while we continue to combat the COVID virus crises, that residents refrain from attending these Board meetings for health safety reasons. Should you have a specific issue to bring to the Board’s attention please contact the President of the Community Association at president@cambrianheightscommunity.com and special arrangements will be made to address your issue(s).
We thank you for your consideration of this request.

Fall BBQ Cancelled

Due to uncertainty in regards to the Community Hall re-opening and limits on gatherings, combined with the level of protocols and health guidelines mandated by Alberta Health Services in response to the COVID-19 virus, we have cancelled our Fall BBQ scheduled for September 19.

We hope to be able to resume this event in September 2021.

2020 AGM and Board Meetings Update

Cambrian Heights Community Association 2020 Annual General Meeting has been postponed until October due to uncertainties involving the COVID-19 protocols.

All existing Directors will remain in their roles throughout this period.

CHCA Board Meetings
