Coming up on Sunday October 30th from noon to 4pm at the Crestmont Hall is the annual Crestmont Kids Halloween Party.
There will be snacks, games, activities, crafts, prizes and, of course, the costume contest.
We need volunteers so if you are able to help out with some of the events and activities, please email events@crestmontcommunity.org to let us know. The more help we have, the better this event will be so please join us.
Crestmont Kids day was forced inside by mother nature, but that didn’t stop the fun. A special thanks to all who helped out with planning, setup and teardown of the event. Also thank you to Const. Damian Price, Const. Dylan Harris and Simon the Safety Bear. Thank you to the Al Azhar Shriners for their epic BBQ trailer to heat up our Spolumbos sausages and to the Calgary Fire Dept. for stopping by with their impressive trucks and firefighters that made the kids smile from ear to ear. Also a huge thank you to Qualico Communities for their generous donation that helped us make this day possible. Thank you to the City of Calgary who is alway such a great supporter and provided the mini-golf, giant Jenga blocks and other games. Finally, thank you to our members and guests for supporting the CCA and renewing your membership each year. Without your support it would be much more difficult for us to do what we do. Here are some photos from the day:

The Community Standards Bylaw promotes good neighbour relationships through regulation of neighbourhood nuisances like fire pit use, noise, weeds and grass, and untidy properties.
Over the past year, the City of Calgary has conducted a review of this bylaw to ensure that it continues to meet the needs of Calgarians. The review found that while most of the Community Standards Bylaw meets citizen needs and effectively addresses neighbourhood issues, there are some areas of the bylaw that can be improved.
A number of bylaw changes are being considered and we would like your feedback on these changes, you can find the survey here. Your input is greatly appreciated and it will be used to help make decisions on the proposed amendments to the Community Standards Bylaw that will be provided to Council later this year.
The Movie in the Park event that was originally scheduled for Sunday August 7th has been moved to September 23rd.
Movie in the park September 23rd starting at 7pm behind the Crestmont Hall. CCA providing snacks for purchase at the event.
City of Calgary Cleanup Stats & Thank you
It is that time of year again on June 26th, 2016 (9am – 1:30pm) when all of Crestmont gets out to clean up their yards, garages, and basements and gathers up the debris and garbage to bring down to the Crestmont Hall where the City of Calgary has packer trucks waiting. GEEP will also have bins for electronics and the Crestmont Community Association will have food, coffee and snacks.
Make it a fun day for your family! We will have pick-up sticks, vests, gloves and garbage bags at the hall so you can take your family out into the neighbourhood green spaces to pick up garbage and debris that blow in from the wind.
This is a FREE event for everyone, although we encourage you to get or renew your Crestmont Community Association Membership if you have not already done so.
Items accepted include:
Items NOT accepted:
We will also set up a free table for items that are still in good condition that you no longer wish to keep. Someone else in the community may be able to use it. It’s all about recycling items in a safe manner.
This is a family friendly event and a good way to teach our children the value of keeping all our spaces clean and to feel like they can contribute in a positive way by giving back to their community.
Please check back here for any updates / changes prior to June 26th.

We look forward to seeing everyone out for this wonderful event.
Have you ever noticed that your junk is “stuff” and everyone else’s stuff is “junk”? Well get the stuff that you no longer need, and instead of making it into actual junk, sell it to someone else so it can be their stuff instead!
On May 28th, the Crestmont Community Association is joining forces with the Valley Ridge Community Association to put together a MASSIVE multi-community garage sale.
