2011 Qualico Stampede Breakfast in CrestmontEvery year during the Stampede, Qualico puts on a stompin good time at the Crestmont Hall with their annual Stampede Breakfast.  There was a great turn out this year (Qualico reports 1,070 plates were served).  In addition, the Crestmont Community Association board members were on hand to meet more residents and pass on the information about our association.  We also told people about our online survey regarding living in Crestmont and the West View Area Structure Plan.

West View Area Structure Plan review at 2011 Qualico Stampede Breakfast in Crestmont

Qualico was on hand with some poster boards that showed the proposed layout of the lands directly west of Crestmont and there was some good discussion and interest.

If you haven’t already, please take a moment to fill out our short 10-question survey and provide us with your valuable feedback on living in Crestmont along with your views on the West Area development.  The Survey can be found here: ASP Survey.

A Message To Crestmont Residents

2 Replies

Dear Crestmont Resident,

As you may be aware, Qualico is planning to submit a change to the West View Area Structure Plan which defines how future development west of the current limits of Crestmont are conducted.

As representatives of the community, the Crestmont Community Association is frequently called upon by the City of Calgary and our developer, Qualico, to provide input and feedback to the plan.

The board of directors of the Crestmont Community Association feel it is important to represent your views, along with ours, during these discussions.

If you are interested in providing us some feedback that will assist in understanding the perspectives of the community, please click visit our website crestmontcommunity.org, and click on the link for the ASP Survey.  It is a very simple 10 question survey and should not take more than a couple of minutes to complete.

You may also want to bookmark this link where we frequently post news or information relevant to the community.  You can find us on:

If you wish to participate more directly in this process, please send an email to info@crestmontcommunity.org.

Regards,

Al Del Degan
President (2010/2011)
Crestmont Community Association
