Blanket Rezoning Summary
Blanket rezoning will continue to be in the news for April. As of this writing, Council is still planning to vote on this proposal on April 22, with talk of a potential plebiscite in the works. We have submitted residents’ comments and concerns that we received at our January open house and online. Here is a summary of that feedback:
About 50 folks provided feedback (~5% of residents). Approximately >95% were opposed.
The primary concerns that folks raised were:
parking (19)
doubting impact on affordability (9)
setbacks from property lines /large buildings (7)
efficacy of development permit process (6)
lack of consultation/plebiscite (6)
impacts on trees / water / sewage (6)
impact to community character (5)
rezoning should be targeted not blanket (5)
This is an important topic and I want to thank everyone who took the time to come to the open house or provide feedback online. We will see what happens later this month.
Pub Night
April 20, 2024 @ 7pm
Come join your neighbours for some good times at our Pub Night on April 20. Starting at 7pm, we will have lots of food, drinks and games. All of this for only $25!!!
If you were there last year, you’ll know how much fun it was. Buy Tickets online. We look forward to seeing you there!
Spring Clean Up
We have submitted an application for a Spring Clean Up event with Cambrian and are just waiting to hear back to see if we have been successful in this application. Stay tuned for details on that and for volunteer opportunities. A big thanks to Bent for putting that together.
Volunteers
There are some great events we want to provide to you but we can only do it with volunteers such as yourselves. There is a multi-community bike day being planned, as well as our annual Stampede Breakfast and September BBQ on the horizon.
But we need people to step up and help lead these or else we won’t be hosting them.
Even if you have never volunteered or helped organize events like these before, I promise you it is straightforward and we will provide a lot of support and assistance (after all, we want them to be awesome!).
Email us at info@rosemontYYC.com to learn more and see if it is something that’s right for you!
Join the Board
Speaking of volunteering, we are always looking for folks to join the board. This is a low time commitment (a few hours each month) and you can help shape the future of Rosemont Community Association. Anyone that is interested can email us for more information at info@rosemontYYC.com
Pet Etiquette
Finally, please remember to pick up after your pets and call out folks who don’t pick up after theirs. Several folks have noticed that some pets have been leaving ‘presents’ on their front lawns. Be a good neighbour (and a decent human being) and pick up after your pet.
As always, keep looking after family, friends, neighbours and yourselves.
