Thank you to everyone that came out to the Crestmont Community Association Annual General Meeting on Sunday March 18th.  Also a very special thank you to Mira from the Servus Credit Union (Bowness Branch) who came by with coffee, tea, and cookies for everyone.  She also lent a hand as an impartial auditor of the voting ballots and generally brightened the Crestmont Hall with her amazing smile.

We had a great turn-out for the AGM and as a result we have a newly elected board of directors (note that executive positions will be defined at their first board meeting on March 26th:

President: Andrew Shorter

Secretary: Catherine Garry

Vice President: Jason Simms

Treasurer: Shahid Naqi

Director: Don Noakes

Director: Janet Shygera

Director: Bill Holland

Director: Jeannette Holland

Thank you to Catherine, one of the founders of the association, for continuing with her role as Secretary for a third term.  Your dedication and efforts are greatly appreciated.

On behalf of the 2011 board I would like to congratulate these people for offering their volunteer time to make a difference in our community and I look forward to working with them in 2012.  By the enthusiasm I have seen from this group already, I think we will all see some exciting things happening in the coming months.

Thank You,

Al Del Degan

(Past President)

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.

A Message To Crestmont Residents

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.
