Area Development Open House January 22nd

aduro — Wed, 04 Jan 2012 17:07:14 +0000

Your Crestmont Community Association is having an event on January 22nd from 1pm – 3pm at the Crestmont Hall.

We are expecting to have representatives from the three big developments that are planned for the areas surrounding Crestmont including Qualico, Shape, and Capital One. There will be land use plans and information displayed as well so you can find out what is in the works regarding both commercial and residential development around us.

We encourage you to make the effort to attend this open house event. There will be a lot of information available and many of the development plans are in the crucial stages of getting approval so your opinion counts. Please tell your neighbors as well, if everyone tells just one neighbor then the whole community will know.

This post will be updated as more information is available. If you are not already on our email list, please sign up now at the top right side of our web page.

Thank You,

Al Del Degan
President

Varsity Acres School

aduro — Mon, 05 Dec 2011 21:34:06 +0000

Varsity Acres School is a K-6 French Immersion school, serving 16 communities in northwest Calgary. At Varsity Acres School, we are in our second year of a 3 year plan looking at ways to enhance teaching and learning in the area of math. We celebrated some of our work at a recent school council meeting and we received very encouraging, positive feedback.

At this time, we are looking ahead to December and our Winter Celebration being held the evening of Thursday December 8th from 7:00-8:30pm. This year our approach is to invite parents and the community in to our school to enjoy and share in the joys of learning. Also in December, our division 2 students are headed to Canada Olympic Park for 4 days of skiing. Bring on the snow!
Looking ahead to January 2012, we will be holding our open house for parents new to kindergarten or who may have a child entering grade 1 French Immersion for September 2012. Our information night will be held Thursday January 12th at 7:00pm. Registration for kindergarten begins Monday January 16th 2012. The office will be open for registrations beginning at 8:00am and will be open each day thereafter between 8:00am and 3:30pm. If your child turns 4 on or before March 1st 2012, they are eligible to register in a Calgary Board of Education kindergarten program. We look forward to seeing new families on the 12th of January. Until then, from everyone here at Varsity Acres School, nous vous souhaitons un “Joyeux Noêl et Bonne Année”.

Mayor Nenshi says “Get Involved”

aduro — Sun, 30 Oct 2011 02:47:58 +0000

In the Calgary Herald,

: Mayor Nenshi

Mayor Nenshi wrote a column on Calgary Communities and how people need to be more involved…

Nenshi is urging people to do three things to make their community better, and to mentor three others to do the same.

“They can be big things like joining a community association or small things like having a frontyard barbecue and inviting your neighbours over,” Nenshi said.

Spooky Family Fun

aduro — Sun, 30 Oct 2011 02:41:50 +0000

The first annual Halloween party turned out even better than we had anticipated. So many people turned out we ran out of cookies and cupcakes in the first hour. There was spooky crafts and coloring pages along with pin the tail on the cat, story corner, food and appropriate spooky music. There was even a freaky haunted house in the kitchen with it’s own haunted guardian. Did you get a chance to stick your hand in the sink??? Warm thanks goes out to all who attended and also to the Crestmont Community Association board and volunteers for putting together a fun family event.

Here is the photo album with shots from this event:

New Short Domain Name

aduro — Fri, 07 Oct 2011 03:55:03 +0000

We realize that “crestmontcommunity.org” is a lot of typing so we have come up with a shortened version of our domain name that gets you to the same place. So now to save you some typing stress you can use “crestcomm.org”.
