south calgary: Our Outdoor Pool in South Calgary, Altadore, Garrison Woods - SW, Calgary - 07/15/09 08:47 AM
 
Have you been to our most awesome outdoor pool yet this year?  If not … why not?  (It is at 3130 16 Street SW).
At a recent South Calgary Board Meeting someone had the audacity to raise the question:
“Should we close the pool? We lost $20,000 last year.”
 
Like many of you, I very much value our pool … but almost never use it!  So I committed to using it and brought some of my triathlon training buddies to the facility.  I loved our early morning swim.  However, I noted some of my buddies were laughing and ‘complaining’ … (0 comments)

south calgary: Cruising Through Life … Getting to Unconscious Competence - 01/18/09 09:17 PM
Last year, along with my roles as a realtor, husband, and father … I set a goal to qualify for the Ironman World Championship in Hawaii. I also set goals around my business, finances, fun time, contribution and relationships.  (Things worked out pretty well.)
 
In the process of determining what I want 2009 to look like, I came across some notes I took from some lecture on Maslow’s Four Levels of Learning. From my pen scrawled notes, I reflected on these levels of learning:  Unconscious Incompetence; Conscious Incompetence, Conscious Competence, and Unconscious Competence.
 
Unconscious Incompetence is not knowing what … (4 comments)

FOOD DRIVE
 
The South Calgary Community Association has some exciting news regarding the 5th Annual Garrison Woods Calgary Inter-Faith Food Drive and are hoping you will join the team of elves.
 
Last December over 900 letters and bags were delivered to virtually every home in Garrison Woods.  We then collected approximately 3,750 lbs. of food from our wonderful residents. We are anxious to continue this tradition however have made the decision to defer our Drive until January 2009.  The Interfaith Food Bank has informed us that there is a large spirit of giving over Christmas however early in the New Year their food supplies start to run low.  In addition to deferring to … (1 comments)

south calgary: Marda Loop, South Calgary, Altadore and Garrison Woods - New Gateway Coming Soon - 09/29/08 04:25 AM
 
In November or December Marda Loop, South Calgary, Altadore, and Garrison Woods will be enjoying the installation of a New Gateway Feature! Calgary Transit has finally agreed to fund the installation of this (first) structure – which will be on the east side of 33 Avenue and Crowchild Trail SW.

 
The design for the second structure is complete, however, the BRZ and community will have to raise the money, this installation can also proceed.  The budget to do this would be around $150,000.  It would be great to initiate a Local Improvement project to  accomplish this.  The link below … (0 comments)

south calgary: Altadore, Calgary, Alberta - 10/21/07 11:53 PM
I love living in Altadore. I think it is the hidden gem of Calgary. We are tucked into a small pocket North of Glenmore Trail and East of Crowchild. To the West we enjoy River Park and the Elbow River. Our trails take us around the Glenmore Reservoir or all the way downtown to the Bow River.
While I use my car way too much ... living in Altadore affords the opportunity to walk or cycle to all community conveniences.
Altadore, Garrison Woods, and South Calgary is one of the fastest growing communities in Canada with a rich mix of cultural diversity, parks and green space, … (0 comments)
