President’s Message<br />

We missed the January update as we currently do a combined-months Dec/Jan issue. We<br />

are well into winter now. December brought its own set of challenges. It ended up with a<br />

signifi cant amount of snow. We were able to produce a enough ice for the local rink to get<br />

us through the December school break. I had some help with the rink from Greg <strong>and</strong> Mike<br />

in December. Th anks guys.<br />

Th e digital sign is up <strong>and</strong> running. It is saving us a signifi cant amount of time trying to<br />

keep up with changing the sign as well as not having letters blowing off .<br />

Th e New Years Eve party was a success. Th e <strong>Rundle</strong> Summit Pub is up <strong>and</strong> running<br />

with cribbage on Tuesday, wing night on Wednesday <strong>and</strong> Euchre on Th ursday. Check out the<br />

dates for Karaoke. Th ere are also meal specials every night. Families are welcome.<br />

We have had some painting done to the hall as well as completing some major cleaning<br />

during the December break.<br />

We are in the process of getting the back area reworked to allow for proper drainage. Th ey<br />

will being installing catch basins in the back area <strong>and</strong> re-grading the back area, which will<br />

impact Bronco’s football in 2013 as they access their practice fi eld.<br />

<strong>Rundle</strong> <strong>Community</strong> Association will be running a Preschool program this fall instead<br />

of a playschool program. Th ere will be a greater emphasis on speaking skills to help prepare<br />

the youth for formal schools.<br />

Reminder that if we have ice, there will be a free skate on Family Day.<br />

We have applied to AGLC to get an exemption to hold our Poker Night on Saturdays.<br />

Th ey have responded that what we are doing is not within the defi nition of gambling as no<br />

money changes h<strong>and</strong>s. As such, we are allowed to hold this event again.<br />

We publish ten issues per year in each<br />

of these fi ne communities:<br />

<strong>Rundle</strong> LRT Station<br />

Redevelopment<br />

RUNDLE COMMUNITY NEWS<br />

The City of <strong>Calgary</strong> is upgrading all existing <strong>Calgary</strong> Transit LRT<br />

station platforms to accommodate four-car trains. Four-car train<br />

service will be introduced in the near future. The platforms in the<br />

northeast from Bridgel<strong>and</strong> to <strong>Rundle</strong> Station are the next on the list<br />

for upgrades, starting with <strong>Rundle</strong> Station. These stations are showing<br />

considerable wear <strong>and</strong> deterioration <strong>and</strong> are in need of refurbishment.<br />

So, at the same time they are being extended for four-car trains, the<br />

existing platforms will also be replaced.<br />

In addition to replacing <strong>and</strong> extending the platform, station<br />

furnishings, such as the shelters, signage, lighting <strong>and</strong> benches, will<br />

also be refurbished or replaced with upgraded furnishings.<br />

The project will be undertaken in phases from 2013-2014 –<br />

<strong>Rundle</strong>, Marlborough <strong>and</strong> Franklin Stations will be redeveloped in<br />

2013; Barlow/Max Bell, Zoo, <strong>and</strong> Bridgel<strong>and</strong>/Memorial Stations will<br />

be done in 2014. At each station, construction crews will remove<br />

the existing station furnishings <strong>and</strong> emergency exit ramps. They<br />

will extend the foundations for the platform, while minimizing<br />

disruptions to revenue service <strong>and</strong> station accessibility.<br />

It is expected that the station will be closed over a long weekend<br />

time frame to accommodate the entire platform removal <strong>and</strong><br />

replacement. Shuttle buses will operate between the closed station<br />

<strong>and</strong> other adjacent train stations in order to maintain access for<br />

transit customers <strong>and</strong> surrounding businesses.<br />

<strong>Rundle</strong> Station re-construction started in January<br />

<strong>Rundle</strong> Station is the first station to undergo redevelopment in<br />

the northeast. Starting in January 2013, the Contractor will begin<br />

construction while the station will remain open.<br />

Currently, the Contractor is tentatively planning to close the<br />

station over the May long weekend to remove <strong>and</strong> replace the existing<br />

platform. During the time the station is closed, <strong>Calgary</strong> Transit will<br />

operate shuttle buses between <strong>Rundle</strong> <strong>and</strong> the two adjoining stations,<br />

Whitehorn <strong>and</strong> Marlborough.<br />

The <strong>Rundle</strong> Station platform redevelopment is expected to be<br />

complete by fall 2013.<br />

Up-to-date project information will be posted at www.calgary.<br />

ca/4carplatforms or call 311 for more information.<br />

RUNDLE JUNIOR YOUTH<br />

The <strong>Rundle</strong> Junior Youth group held a three day camp this<br />

December, focusing on how we are all the “Builders of Unity”. The<br />

program enabled participants to develop their powers of expression<br />

- with a focus on critical reasoning, literacy, comprehension <strong>and</strong><br />

eloquent speech - in order to participate more effectively in the<br />

planning, decision-making <strong>and</strong> development of our communities.<br />

Currently, the Junior Youth group held on Wednesday <strong>and</strong><br />

Thursday afternoons is still accepting participants. Everyone between<br />

the ages of 11-15 is welcome to join. This program is part of an<br />

international initiative where Junior Youth are engaging with their<br />

communities, exploring the moral implications of their thoughts <strong>and</strong><br />

action, developing their own capabilities, <strong>and</strong> creating meaningful<br />

social change. We invite you to learn more about this initiative <strong>and</strong><br />

explore ways you can help contribute to a better world. Please call<br />
