March in Rosemont
Howdy Rosemontians!
City of Calgary Rezoning
Blanket rezoning will continue to be in the news for March and April. You may be receiving information in the mail from the city regarding the change. This is a legal requirement that is needed if they wish to proceed with the blanket rezoning proposal.
More details on the whole process and what blanket rezoning is can be found on the city’s website (Calgary.ca/HousingStrategy). We also hosted our own open house to provide additional information, context, and a Q&A with Councilor Chu on the subject in January.
Just a reminder that we posted all of the documentation and information from that session on our website.
While the primary deadline to provide feedback to the city is March 3 you can also register to speak at Council on April 22. Details for providing feedback and speaking are on the city’s website. You can also find useful links at the bottom of our Rezoning Details page.
Upcoming Events
Due to the timing of our February board meeting, there aren’t any specific events planned for March and April, but we do have some placeholders for a family movie night and a pub night. Hopefully we will be able to firm up those plans.
Keep an eye out for our email blasts (sign up at the bottom of this page if you haven’t signed up already). You may also have seen a couple of sandwich boards along Rosehill Drive that are using to help spread the word on events. The paper newsletters are great, but due to early deadlines, it's difficult to ensure timely and accurate information.
Email blasts and our website are always the best way to stay informed.
Spring Clean Up
We have also 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.
Neighbouring Community News
And a few community associations around our area are aiming to do a cross-community Bike Day in May or June. If this is something you would be interested in helping with, please contact us at info@rosemontYYC.com. We would love to be a part of this event but can only do it with the support of volunteers like yourselves.
Keep Watching for More Events
This is a pretty slow time of year for us so stay tuned for upcoming spring events. We are hoping to host a pub night in March and are always looking for new ideas so if you have a suggestion, please reach out to us at info@rosemontyyc.com.
As always, keep looking after family, friends, neighbours and yourselves.
