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.
