As the cold of winter has faded away, we welcome Spring and all that it brings with it. Time to clean up our yards from the damages of winter and work on our lawns and plant flowers. I would like to encourage all home owners to do their part and keep their gardens clean and free of garbage and household effects. Taradale is a beautiful community and it will stay that way if we all make the effort to keep garbage at the dump and not in our yards.
Just a quick update about the Taravista Lake; the City of Calgary has taken over the maintenance of the lake, but we are still in negotiations with Genesis Land Development Corporation about the installation of some fountains in our lake. The reason we need these fountains is to promote the movement of water which will reduce the formation of the algae growing, this will also see a reduction of mosquitoes in and around the lake.
The new school on Taravista Drive is making tremendous progress. The outside structure is almost completely finished! Hopefully things will be ahead of schedule and open early.
The Taradale Community Association is working very hard to get our bylaws passed. Once this is complete, we will be a fully fledged society and will be able to raise much needed funds. We would also like to remind residents to buy a membership. The cost is only $10 per family and it entitles you to attend special community events, plus 30% discount at Village Square Leisure Centre on Monday nights. We are also very proud to announce our 3rd annual AGM, which will be held on June 12th, at 7:00 p.m. at the Saddle Ridge Community Centre. Thank you to Saddle Ridge Association for the generous loan of your hall! All are welcome and we are looking for additional board members. If you are interested please email Sara Murray (Recruitment) at saramurray@shaw.ca to let your name stand for a position. We look forward to seeing all of you there.
One last thing I would like to remind all residents about. With the nice warm weather upon us, many children of all ages will be playing outside in the neighbourhood. Please, slow down on the roads and be aware of the children playing in the streets. CC
