June - Summer Updates
The Quick Run Down:
Election Update
Thank You
Tech Update
Howdy Rosemontians! I hope everyone is doing well and staying safe.
We are getting into summer season and I don’t know about you, but I am looking forward to the sun, relaxing and enjoying the park. Speaking of the park, if you are reading this and the city hasn’t implemented port-a-potties on the west side of 10th Street by now, please submit 311 requests asking for it. Data drives their decisions so more 311 requests = higher chance people will be able to go to the bathroom when having picnics in the park.
Election
Firstly, thank you to everyone for being civil and decent during the election. Things get pretty heated and it was great to see passionate folks sharing their opinions and exercising their democratic rights and responsibilities. Congratulations to the candidate that won the Calgary-Klein riding! I am writing this shortly after the writ dropped so I’m not sure who won yet. But I look forward to continuing advocating on behalf of Rosemont residents, regardless of who is representing our neighourhood.
Thank You
An absolutely HUGE thank you to Ian Kirkland and the 20+ volunteers who took time out of their days/evenings to help us out with the casino. This casino helps us continue to offer low cost events to residents (such as our Sept BBQ and winter festival), and improve the hall and other initiatives. We honestly can’t do it without your support so I sincerely thank you all for helping.
And another huge thank you to Kris, Craig and Mel for coordinating and hosting our pub night!!!
Unfortunately, we have cancelled our Stampede Breakfast in July due to a lack of volunteer interest. Hopefully we can look at starting it back up next year. Keep an eye our for details on our September BBQ.
If you have ideas for events and/or would like to help lead any of our fun events, please email us at info@rosemontyyc.com.

Book an appointment to pick up free compost
Compost is available for pick up from April 24 to June 10, by online appointment only, at Shepard (South) and Spyhill (North) landfills.
Appointments will be released in time slots starting April 10. Check the City site on May 8 and May 23 to find newly released appointments, plus available time slots due to cancellations.
To ensure there is a fair opportunity for all citizens to pick up compost, households may only pick up compost once during the 2023 Compost Giveaway. Remember to mix your compost with soil.
Rosemont Tech Updates
Finally, we have fully transitioned to our new website and email addresses. Please visit us at RosmeontYYC.com. And all of our emails now end with @RosemontYYC.com instead of @RosemontCommunity.com. Please update your contacts accordingly.
As always, keep looking after family, friends, neighbours and yourselves.
