meSSage from the preSidentAs many of you have heard me joke over the years, vol-unteering at a local level can be a challenging business, and your passion for making your community better had better equal your desire for bad coffee and folding tables. It can be difficult to see an end point or define success on a day-by-day basis, as you worry about keep-ing the lights on.

But that work is what makes communities actually work. The grind and the payoff are, in a sense, one and the same. For former alderman and current Parkdale resi-dent Dale Hodges, thirty years in City Council created a body of work that does more than speak for itself – it speaks to the best of us all.

Dale’s commitment to Calgary – and to the residents of its Northwest - yielded countless benefits that are enjoyed by Calgarians long after he left council. That legacy was honoured on April 25 at City Council, which unanimously approved renaming east Bowmont Park the Dale Hodges Park to recognize Calgary’s longest-serving member of council.

Dale’s wife Yvonne remains a dedicated supporter of the best in Calgary, working with the Parkdale Community Garden on a number of major beautification initiatives and serving as our liaison with the Simon House recov-ery centre.

Dale and Yvonne’s public service is remarkable. Through decades of volunteerism, long hours and commitment, they have fundamentally changed our community, and they’ve done it with minimal fuss, zero grandstanding and an unwavering commitment to creating a better city for everyone.

This, more than anything, is what exemplifies the best of what we can offer as Parkdalians and as Calgarians. It’s not always easy to see over the rock you’re pushing up the hill, but knowing that there are people like Dale and Yvonne who have created real change for all of us makes it so much easier.

Queen Elizabeth SchoolDeb Hamilton

Great things happen when community helps community! The transformation of the Queen Elizabeth School play yard is a testament to this belief. While the students watched with an-ticipation and patience, the school yard changed before their eyes. Now is the time for school playground committee to say THANK YOU!

This project could not have been completed without the deter-mination and dedication of many. Throughout this project, our committee has been overwhelmed with the amazing support of community members at every stage of this process: from planning, fundraising, grant writing, designing and executing the vision of enhancing our school play yard, while maintaining the integrity of those committees who came before us.

At this time, we would especially like to acknowledge the many organizations, businesses and community supporters that provided services, time and financial support to this project. In particular, our major supporters including: Government of Alberta, Truman, Bluebird - A Trotter & Morton Company, Parks Foundation Calgary, BDI Play Design, and ULS Maintenance & Landscaping. Please find a complete list of supporters on our recognition board located at the entrance of our new play area. Your contributions to our project made a dream a reality.

We would also like to thank the many local restaurants that contributed to helping to fuel our volunteers during the play-ground build: Spolumbo’s Deli, Domino’s Pizza, Peters Drive-In, Dairy Lane, Starbucks, McDonald’s, Cobbs Bakery, Higher Ground Cafe, and Safeway. Your tasty contributions on the build days were a welcome treat.

Our volunteers came together to construct and provide an amazing outdoor place for children. We were fortunate to have community volunteers gather - whether they were a parent or grandparent with a child at Queen Elizabeth; an employee

given an opportunity to participate in a community outreach project; a SAIT student keen to help and learn; or a community member with a little flexibility in their schedule, your help with the playground build was invaluable and very much appreci-ated. We could not have accomplished this giant structure with-out your efforts, sweat, and blisters.

“If we strive to work together imaginatively and unselfishly, we will be helping to achieve each other’s personal goals, and the combined legacy that we leave as a result will be brighter and more valuable than any of us could have achieved unilaterally.” - Paul McCabe, Feed the Good Dog

We invite all community members, families, volunteers, and supporters to join us in celebrating our new playground, by at-tending our ribbon cutting ceremony on June 9 at 11 a.m.

Many thanks,

Sheila Kilpatrick and Kristina Sherriff

The City of Calgary: Project Updates and Upcoming Events Near Your Community

South Shaganappi Study – Join us for June events

The City of Calgary is continuing to conduct a transpor-tation corridor study to explore the future design for the south end of Shaganappi Trail.

As part of Phase 3: Preferred Concept Selection, we are presenting the draft recommended short- and long-term plans for the study area. Join us for June events and provide input to help us refine and finalize the plans.

For a complete list of engagement opportunities, visit calgary.ca/southshaganappi or call 311.

Please note: an open house for residents living in the adjacent communities of Montgomery, Parkdale and Point McKay has been scheduled in June. This invite-only event provides those with homes and businesses in close proximity to the study area an opportunity to participate in the same event with others who may share similar perspectives. Watch your mailbox for event details.

16th Avenue and Home Road N.W.

In response to community input about sidewalks, cross-walks and intersection traffic flow, The City is improving the 16 Avenue and Home Road area to make it safer and more vibrant for people who live and travel in the area.

The planned improvements are meant to improve traf-fic operations by directing vehicles to follow designated traffic lanes, increase the safety of pedestrians trying to cross 16 Avenue N.W. at Home Road, and prevent motor vehicle and pedestrian accidents from occurring.

Construction on these projects will begin this summer. To learn more, visit calgary.ca or join us at the following in-person session:

What? Community Improvements Information Session

When? Wednesday, June 7 from 5-8 p.m.

Where? Montgomery Community Association (5003 16 Avenue N.W.)

361 New Jobs for Calgary Confederation

For the past two years in communities across Alberta we have witnessed personal hardships, challenges and dashed hopes caused by the economic downturn and jobs crisis.

Calgary Confederation communities have not been immune to this impact, as has been evident in feedback from many constituents over the past few months, but there is help.

We know that services from non-profit organizations and community associations often increase in the summer months and many are concerned about their ability to offer employment opportunities again this year.

Many of these organizations provide critical employment experience and skills training for young Canadians. Statis-tics show us that unemployment amongst young Canadi-ans is the highest of any age group and so the real job expe-rience they obtain through summer jobs is critical to future employability.

How fortunate we are to build upon the Youth Employment

Strategy which was introduced in 2006 by the Conservative Government. Today, thanks to the Canada Summer Jobs program, our constituency, together with constituencies across Alberta (and Canada) can provide funding to assist employers to create summer opportunities for young peo-ple aged 15 to 30 years who are full-time students intend-ing to return to their studies this fall.

I am proud of the application initiatives of our not-for-profit organizations, public sector employers and small business-es who have taken the time to make their opportunities known to Service Canada. As a result, the Calgary Confed-eration communities, through 132 agencies, small business and non-profit employers, will be in a position to offer 361 jobs for a total of 3,229 weeks of work this summer.

What does this mean for our community? •Investment in our small business, organizations and non-

profits.•Opportunity for young people to learn or improve job

skills and gain work experience with local employers in areas such as retail, hospitality, marketing, technology, re-search and communications.

•The chance for non-profits to extend their services across the summer, allowing a variety of camps, children’s pro-grams, specialized teaching opportunities, and unique community service programs for all ages, among others.

•All project participants will benefit through personal growth, increasing employability, determining career goals/paths, and ultimately through our investment in them, contribute to the strength of our future workforce and community stability.

I am very pleased to support this important program and extend my best wishes to each and all for a successful sum-mer job experience.
