Dear Crestmont Community Association Members;

The ASP was made public on Thursday, September 16 and the public has until Friday, November 1st (*Date Extended*) to review and comment on the document.
The document can be downloaded from the City of Calgary website at: http://www.calgary.ca/westview If you have difficulties obtaining a copy, please contact the CCA and we will help you out.
Although this is a very short time to review such a lengthy document, the Crestmont Community Association (CCA) urges you to review the document and make your opinions known. Your primary input should be directed to David Couroux, who is the Project Manager. His contact details are on the website above. If you have difficulties obtaining a copy of the ASP, please contact the CCA and we will help you out.
The CCA would also appreciate being copied on your correspondence so that we are aware of the communities concerns and positive feedback as well. It is not mandatory that you copy the CCA, but if we are aware of your view points, we will be able to bring them forward in our future dealings with the city. This will allow us to better represent the view points of our members and neighbors’. Please also encourage your neighbors and friends in Crestmont who are not yet CCA members to also review this critical to our future document and provide their view points as well.
Best Regards,
WR Myron Wintonyk
Vice President, Crestmont Community Association.

Crestmont Community Association Report:
Crestmont Community Clean-up Volunteers - Photo by Victoria Garry
We are pleased to report the Crestmont Community Association (CCA) has successfully completed their first community event. Although the weather did not cooperate, very low temperatures along with rain mixed with snow, a good number of people turned out on Saturday May 29th for our First Annual Spring Fling and BBQ, Community Clean Up. The morning started with Henry and Maria of Foothills Landscaping talking to us about the uniqueness of our community, the importance of the pond and how fortunate we are to have such a beautiful community. They could not stress enough the importance of keeping our green spaces clean and litter free. Keeping twigs, garbage and other foreign matter out of the creek and pond. Everybody was thankful we had the use of the lower area of the Resident’s Hall to keep warm and dry during this short presentation.

We then broke into six teams and set out into the green spaces in the community. the City of Calgary, Park’s, through their Adopt a Park program was able to supply us with pick sticks, garbage bags and gloves. The City would normally have collected our bags of garbage, but were fortunate to have the offer of a commercial dumpster for this event from August Fine Homes. While out collecting garbage, the children were encourage to participate in a scavenger hunt.

After several hours of garbage collection we gathered back at the hall for a BBQ and some magical entertainment by Paul Spenard, followed by an inspirational talk from resident Kyle Nissen, Olympic Aeriel Ski Jumper.
The event closed with the awarding of prizes for the scavenger hunt, won by Alex and Tony DelDegan, and door prizes being drawn for.
The Board would like to thank everybody that came out in less than ideal conditions to help with the clean up, your support of our efforts are truly appreciated.
We would also like to thank the following sponsors:
Qualico Communities
Augusta Fine Homes
Stepping Stones, Calgary Federation of Communities
Canadian Tire, Beacon Hill
Home Depot, Tuscany
The City of Calgary, Parks

We have received several very positive comments about this event and suggestions that we hold the event again in the fall.
Through The City of Calgary, Parks, Adopt a Park program we have an opportunity as a community to participate in their ongoing program to “Adopt” our local parks. To do this however we require the involvement of more community members. In my discussions with Park’s it was suggested that perhaps there are some home schooled children in the neighbourhood that need to do community or civic work for school credits. At this point in time we require an individual over the age of 18 to be a liaison with the city and anybody else that would like to volunteer. For further information or to volunteer please contact crestmontcommunity@gmail.com
The following community residents were elected to the Board, March 14, 2010 at the First Annual General Meeting:
President: Bart Benoit
Vice President: Myron Wintonyk
Secretary: Catherine Garry
Treasurer: Kitty Lee
Director: Al Del Degan
Director: Bill Gilson
Director: Chad Ravlo
Director: Ralph Seizer
Currently the Board is busy working on the infrastructure of the Community Association and are not in a position to take on any added duties at this time, such as sub-committees. If anybody in the community is interested in volunteering for a sub-committee, such as Traffic, Parks, Sports etc, please contact us.
Have a GREAT SUMMER all and we look forward to being in touch soon.

On May 29th your new Crestmont Community Association is kicking off spring 2010 with a fun family event.
The purpose of the event is to tidy up our community and also for everyone to network and get to know your neighbors. What better way to do that than to get together in teams and go around picking up litter around our community.
Your Crestmont Community Association will provide gloves, garbage bags, pick-up tools and bins… YOU supply the labor. This will be a fun event for the whole family and will begin with a presentation on Crestmont’s unique ecosystem, and after the cleanup we’ll have a BBQ with special guest Olympian Kyle Nissen and magical entertainment for children of all ages.
We would like to encourage you, and have you help us by encouraging
your neighbors. So come out and also pick up your Crestmont Community
Association annual membership for only $20.
When: May 29th starting at 9:00am
Where: Crestmont Resident’s Hall (around back on the lower patio)
Who: All Crestmont Residents are welcome
If you would like to volunteer to help with logistics for this event, or become a volunteer with the association, please send an email to:
