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

Halloween PartyThe 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:
