I hope everyone enjoyed the 10 days of Calgary Stampede as I know our family did. Sunny skies also provided ample opportunity to enjoy both nearby Confederation and Nose Hill Parks. We held our third annual Die Volksmesse car show featuring Volkswagen, Audi and Porsche autos on July 13. Plans are being made by our Social Committee for events this fall. If you have ideas for community events utilizing our Hall and grounds feel free to contact us at social@cambrianheightscommunity.com. A review of past events and general plans for the future can be found in the slide presentation from our AGM on our website.
Our survey of community signage designs was included in the July newsletter and is repeated in this issue. At the time of writing this message we had over 60 replies selecting general signage design including comments detailing design features and questions as to community finances and longer term plans for our many park spaces. The Board in August will review all this feedback and incorporate those comments when making a final decision and applying for final City approvals. To date the City has indicated no issues with our signage size and location and funding is in place for the project. As always, the final design will be subject to cost considerations as we explore other park additions and community ice rink equipment storage options.
As indicated in the July newsletter, the Community has been confirmed with Casino dates of November 4 and 5 this year. The funds accruing from the volunteers provided, in our case to Pure Casino Calgary for those two days, provides the major funding supporting the Community Association Hall upkeep and social activities. Should you be able to help out this year at our Casino dates please contact us at president@cambrianheightscommunity.com. We provide a meal during your Casino daytime or evening shift and also reimburse for transportation to and from as well as babysitting if required.
We continue to wish all residents a safe and enjoyable summer. Please read the newsletter or consult with our website (cambrianheightscommunity.com ) for activities this fall and winter. We also encourage your involvement with the Community through attending one of our Board meetings at the Hall by contacting us at cambrianheights@gmail.com.
Daryl Connolly, President CHCA
