Social 5/8Community members volunteer a great amount,

for example, arranging events such as cul-de-sac parties, cleaning up dog poop in the local park with neighbors, a Stampede pancake breakfast, community organizations such as Cubs, Scouts and sport clubs. Volunteerism is thriving in this community.

Social 6/8The community advertises its social programs

and services by putting up posters and roadside signs, putting advertisements in the « South Calgary Scanner » and going door-to-door.

physiotherapist, chef, social worker, nurse, civil servant, oil and gas producer, university student, vedio store clerk, restaurants, spa, Calgary public library.

Economic 2/8There are some « help wanted » signs up in

stores but not very many. It is still easy for people to find a job. Many people work outside the community including doctors. Most people work downtown.

Economic 3/8The only projects I know about is the apartment

building and strip mall that they are building in Marda Loop and the arena that they are adding to the Centennial arenas. There are lots of new homes being built.

Economic 4/8A plan for the future is to renevate the little park

three doors down from my place. This would benefit many children because they would have more room to play. There are some homes that are planning renovations in the area. The home renovations will benefit the families. The whole city will benefit from adding arenas and rec. Centers.

Economic 5/8The types of houses in Garrison Woods is varied.

For exanple, apartments, townhouses, single family homes, condos, senior citizen complex, therefore, people have many options for places to live. Because of rising house prices, there are many for sale signs up right now.

Economic 6/8There will be new businesses starting up when

the apartment and strip mall open up. There was a good french resturant named Jojo’s, but that resturant has moved… to Morocco! Some businesses close, but just as many take their place. In general, Garrison Woods is growing.

Economic 7/8There are some challenges that the residents of

Garrison woods are facing at the moment. Many residents work in the oil and gas industry and risk losing their jobs.

Economic 8/8Sometimes people have parties late at night, but

other than that, it’s a quiet and calm community.
