November 11th – Remembrance Day – is a day we take out of our year to focus for a moment on the people that have served and are currently serving our country during both times of war and times of peace. For many of my friends and family, it has also become a day of focusing on the good things that are in our lives, realigning our thinking with what’s important and what is not and for taking a moment to be truly proud and thankful that we are living in Canada.
To: Community Leaders, Volunteers and Residents to Whom Recreation Matters The Calgary NW Recreation Centre Society (CRNCS) has conducted a review of the top contenders vying to become Calgary’s next mayor to assess their views and policies toward recreation. Our primary concern is to ensure a new regional recreation center is constructed in NW Calgary. However, throughout this process – we learned about broader recreation policies being proposed by candidates. These policies stand to benefit all Calgarians. Please see CNRCS – Mayoral Candidate Review Final1 for our review. This document can also be downloaded from our web site. There is a link to it from the home page. I encourage you to forward this to as many of your friends and family as possible to inform their vote. Thank you! Sandor Kiss Chair, Calgary Northwest Recreation Centre Society
Note: Survey will be ready for mid-November. The City would like you to be aware of an upcoming on-line survey regarding the off-leash management plan. Your direct feedback will give the City vital information regarding off-leash areas in Calgary.
In July, we had a concerned resident write in about children playing on our side streets by park areas. She expressed concern for chidren’s safety and felt that the appropriate place for play is in residential yards or playgrounds, not on the roads. This month, one of our residents has written in with another perspective – some activities such as rollerblading, cycling, etc are best played on an asphalt surface which means some play will be on our residential roads.
We’ve had a couple of requests for the race route from our racers in this Sunday’s Amazing Tuscany Race & Chase so thought we’d post it for everyone to see. Race Route 2010

There’s been plenty of talk about traffic safety in our community and the need for more police, so I just wanted to let you know that the police are in Tuscany today enforcing speed limits to help keep pedestrians and motorists safe. Slow down, drive safely and use the ticket money for something else. 🙂 I very nervously approached a woman today who has been consistently parking on our street’s intersection corner in order to keep watch over the children at the bus stop. I just wanted to say a big thank you to her for her kindness and her pleasant reaction to my approach. When I let her know that our street was concerned about crosswalk safety and explained why parking right at the stop sign was illegal, she thanked me for letting her know and said she’d move to a legal parking spot. This isn’t the reaction all of us have […]
