Crestmont Community Association AGM

Please join us on Friday March 24th at 7:30pm for our Annual General Meeting.  This past year was the most active and eventful in the history of the Crestmont Community Association.  We held or participated in a record number of events (eight):

  • Police Safety Chat

  • CCA & HOA Neighbour Day Block Party
  • Crestmont Cleanup
  • Kid’s Day
  • CCA & HOA Movie in the Park
  • Kid’s Halloween Party

In addition there was a significant amount of work accomplished on your behalf by the development committee.

Please consider throwing your hat in and volunteering for us this coming year.  All board positions are always open at every year’s AGM.  This year we are looking for a Secretary and a brand new position to be filled that we are calling “Event Coordinator”.

If you have ever wanted to give back and add some valuable board experience to your resume, please consider joining us on March 24th.  For more information on being a board member, or just volunteering in general, please contact us.  We look forward to another wonderful year and you are all a major part of our success.

Development Committee Presentation

At this year’s AGM you won’t want to miss the development committee‘s update.  Did you know that there are several major development projects going on around Crestmont that directly impact you as a homeowner?  We have updates and information on all of them.

We will also have snacks and plenty of information to share so please join us!  Check back here as we get closer to the end of march for any updates.

Crestmont Kids Council

We invite Crestmont kids ages 13 – 17 to join the first ever Crestmont Kids Council (CKC).  This is a great opportunity to learn new skills, get some great experience for your resume, and give back to your community while providing a voice for the youth in the community.  Come to the AGM and throw your name it for the CKC.

Thank you,
Al Del Degan, CCA President

What to Expect when you’re Expecting…

new-housingHello Crestmont community, we are expecting more neighbors as the Crestmont West development plans continues along its way.  What does this mean for you?

Nothing right now, it will be likely 2018 before we see the first houses in West Crestmont, although much work can occur before this time.   Completion of this development is expected 3-5 years after commencement.

On October 18th during Qualico’s town hall meeting we learned the planned community garden will not be ready until 2018 so we are investigating other community garden opportunities.  Also, in the plan are tobogganing hills in the park area.  Do you and your family want toboggan hills?  The plans use to have water fountains in this large park area.  Please let us know your feedback, share with us your comments on Facebook or send us an email.  It’s very important we hear from you because we have the opportunity to influence these plans to get what we want.

There are currently 473 homes in Crestmont as per the 2014 census.  The new development will add 517 new homes.  Even with Crestmont’s future planned expansion, we will continue to be a unique community holding one of the smallest community populations. Crestmont community’s current population is only around 1,379.

Stay tuned for more. The Calgary West ASP will anticipate going to Calgary Planning Commission in November, likely the 20th and a Council public hearing in January 2015.

Want to find out more about development? Join us on November 20th at 8pm at the hall, for our next CCA meeting. Your vote counts!

Sincerely,
Amy Hen
CCA President
