Christmas Market
On Dec 3 we hosted the 2nd annual Rosemont Christmas Market. There were over a dozen terrific vendors (including some Rosemontians!), snacks, warm drinks and it definitely got everyone in the holiday mood. It was very well attended, particularly in the morning. A huge HUGE thank you to Maura and all of the volunteers to helped put it on!
Shinny
As you have probably seen, the ice rinks are in full swing which is great to see. A huge thank you again to Kurt, Craig, Bill and all of the Ice Guys for their hard work in November and December (including that November warm stretch that wrecked the ice plus some serious shoveling in early December). You don’t make the best outdoor ice in the city without amazing dedication. If you didn’t know, the lights stay on until late in the evening so get down for some late night skating if you want to avoid the crowds. You can keep up with the hijinks at RosemontIceGuys.ca

Shinny is starting again but we need volunteers to help coach and run the program. Please contact us if you are able to help (training is provided by Grant and Jean). Shinny is scheduled to start January 10 to mid March or until there is no more ice, running 5:30pm-6:30pm on Tuesday nights. Ages 6-12 and all skill levels are welcome. The cost will be $30.00/player + community membership (from any community). Everyone is welcome (please contact us if financial reasons may be preventing you from participating).
Winter Carnival
Save the date for February 11 as we are looking to co-host a Winter Carnival with the Rosemont School. Check the website for details once they become available and keep an eye on your emails.
Hall Programs
A new year means new programs coming out from some of the organizations that use the Rosemont Hall. Our friends at LDK Foundation have a new set of karate classes for both kids and adults so check out LDK Calgary classes for details and to register. They’re popular for a reason so check them out!
Traffic Calming
We have received some feedback about the temporary traffic calming measures on 14 St turning onto Rosehill Drive.
We have passed along this feedback to the city. They noted that there is typically an adjustment period with new measures like this but recognize the community’s concerns. They will continue to monitor it in the coming months so if you have additional feedback, please submit it as a 311 request. We (Rosemont Community Association) will be doing additional feedback gathering in the spring as well.
Volunteer Positions
If you love being part of the community and want to help, we have a vacant Secretary position available. This only takes a few hours each month and you get to hang out with the loveable gang of the Rosemont Board. If this seems of interest, give us a shout and we can provide more information to see if it might be of interest to you.
As always, keep looking after yourselves, your family and your neighbours. Happy New Year everyone!
