President's<br />
Message<br />
Dear <strong>PBP</strong> Community- Members and all Residents,<br />
We have lots of important updates for you so please<br />
keep reading. We had a busy September board<br />
meeting and it was great to see some new faces from<br />
the community come to our regular board meeting. As<br />
my two year term as president draws to a close next<br />
month, I wanted to share with everyone my thoughts<br />
on what it means to be an active member on <strong>PBP</strong>’s<br />
board. Being on the board is a wonderful opportunity<br />
to improve the community in which you live and make<br />
a difference in the lives of others. There are no limits or<br />
constraints on how great we can make our community<br />
association and every effort, no matter how small,<br />
makes our neighbourhood richer and a better place<br />
to live. We do not have any cliques and are wide open<br />
to new ideas and initiatives. We have very welcoming<br />
facilities, are in a strong financial position, and have<br />
paid folks to do the day to day administrative stuff.<br />
We have funds to spend on fun events, innovative<br />

community programs, indoor and outdoor facility<br />
enhancements and more. So please do get involved!<br />
On the events end of things, we have decided to<br />
combine 2015 Summerfest with our annual <strong>PBP</strong><br />
Halloween party, which will be celebrated on a<br />
Saturday this year (October 24) for the first time. We<br />
hope that this new day of the week works for folks and<br />
we encourage community residents and members<br />
of all ages (not just young kids!) to come out to say<br />
hello and learn about <strong>PBP</strong>’s many initiatives. Leandra,<br />
our Program Manager will be on hand to answer<br />
questions about fall and winter programming for<br />
seniors, kids, and adults. Second, we ask that you<br />
renew your membership as our membership year<br />
began September 1. Please show your support for<br />
all of the hard work that our board and many other<br />
volunteers have been doing and continue to do<br />
towards improving community facilities (rink and hall),<br />
programs, events and civic representation. You can<br />
easily renew your membership on line or by mailing in<br />
the form in this newsletter.<br />
As always, I encourage you to contact me directly<br />
regarding nomination for a board position, helping<br />
out as a volunteer in a non-board function, and/or<br />
to get engaged on the LOC issue. Also, we are only a<br />
month away from the start of the outdoor ice season<br />
and a new rink director will also be needed. You can<br />
learn more about all volunteer opportunities, board<br />
positions, and LOC issues in this newsletter, so please<br />
keep reading!<br />
As I mentioned in my last President’s Message, more<br />
representation is needed at the board meetings this<br />
fall to tackle the pressing issues of (i) negotiation of our<br />
Licence of Occupancy (LOC) with the Calgary Board<br />
of Education (CBE) and the city and (ii) drumming up<br />
new board members and volunteers for our November<br />
AGM. I look forward to seeing folks at our October<br />
13th board meeting from 7:00 – 9:00 pm. Attending a<br />
meeting is a great way to meet others, get the pulse of<br />
the community, city and province, become involved in<br />
volunteer initiatives, as well as try out the idea of being<br />
a full board member.<br />

Volunteers<br />
Needed!<br />
Rink Director and Flooding Volunteers Needed!<br />
It’s hard to believe that we are only one month away<br />
from the start of outdoor rink season! We usually have<br />
our first cold spell in November and we would like to<br />
have the rink equipment serviced and a team of “rink<br />
rats” (flooding volunteers) ready to go. Craig Hopkins<br />
has done a fantastic job for several years now in<br />
keeping the rink in tip top shape. However it’s time to<br />
“pass the baton” so <strong>PBP</strong> is looking for another volunteer<br />
to assume the role of rink director (does not require a<br />
board position/commitment). Craig is very happy to<br />
train and transition this person so experience is not<br />
required! Please contact Craig directly at craighopkins@<br />
shaw.ca or 403-816-8544, or the office at 403-281-1908.<br />
This position involves organizing the rink rats to flood<br />
on a regular basis and direct any maintenance and/or<br />
improvements to the rink. We have a generous budget<br />
to fund equipment needs and rink upgrades. This is a<br />
great way to give back to the community and kids and<br />
adults really appreciate having a local rink during the<br />
long cold winter. New folks on the team are always<br />
appreciated (and needed!) so please consider joining<br />
the team as well. Please keep your eyes open for a<br />
meeting early in November (maybe at the pub?) to get<br />
organized.<br />
Update on Hall Rentals!<br />
In September we said “goodbye” to Lola who did a great job handling <strong>PBP</strong>’s hall bookings and rentals for<br />
the last two years. Thanks Lola for all your hard work and commitment to <strong>PBP</strong>! Leandra, our Administrator<br />
and Program Manager will be taking over hall rentals so please contact her directly if you are interested<br />
in booking the hall, board room, or newly renovated room for a private or community event or ongoing<br />
program. You or your organization may also apply for discounted or free use of the facility if it meets<br />
certain community objectives. Please contact Leandra for more information at pbpcam@pbpcommunity.<br />
ca or by calling 403-281-1908. She also holds regular business hours so drop-ins are welcome.<br />

Aging-In-Place<br />
Wow! I can hardly believe that summer is all but over! Long<br />
days outside enjoying the sunshine and enjoying your<br />
garden are now being replaced by wearing sweaters on<br />
your evening walk and preparing your garden for winter.<br />
We all know what it takes to winterize the garden – cut<br />
down the perennials, water in bushes and trees, maybe<br />
wrap our more sensitive plants with burlap for protection<br />
against the long, cold winter. But what about winterizing<br />
our homes?<br />
Winter is a harsh season to live through, especially if your<br />
mobility is not as agile as it once was, or if you are noticing<br />
your sight is not as sharp as it once was. The autumn<br />
is the perfect time to prepare your home, and yourself, for<br />
the winter season – and here are a few tips to help you do<br />
just that!<br />
The main focus of all preparations is fall prevention. A fall<br />
can result in even the most healthy and fit person spending<br />
time in the hospital and then needing to move into assisted<br />
living. As we age, it is increasingly difficult to make a<br />
full recovery from a fall.<br />
Clear off your decks and walkways so that you have a path<br />
clear of all obstructions between your car and home. Be<br />
sure that this pathway is relatively flat and void of tripping<br />
hazards. If the sidewalk blocks have moved and one edge<br />
is sticking up, call a professional to repair it so you are not<br />
at risk of tripping on it. Make sure your stairs and walkways<br />
inside are also free of objects blocking your way.<br />
Ensure your pathways, inside and out, are adequately lit.<br />
Aging eyes require 50% more light to see the same as they<br />
did when you were young!! You do not necessarily need to<br />
install new fixtures, maybe just clean the glass cover and<br />
install a higher wattage bulb. And use this opportunity to<br />
see your kids or grandkids by asking them to stop in and<br />
help you do this!<br />
These are just a few things to help you get ready for winter,<br />
although these tips should be followed year-round!<br />

Canadians who own U.S. assets or spend a<br />
substantial amount of time south of the<br />
Canadian border may be exposed to U.S. estate<br />
taxation. Without the proper protective measures in place<br />
a Canadian may lose up to 40% of their estate’s total value<br />
to U.S. estate taxes upon death. Uncle Sam may have a few<br />
unpleasant surprises for the unprepared. Spending too<br />
much time in the U.S., owning a U.S. vacation property or<br />
U.S. investments, even within a RRSP/RRIF, may<br />
result in an excessive U.S. tax liability. Fortunately,<br />
utilizing specific estate planning mechanisms may<br />
minimize U.S. estate tax. Contrary to the United States,<br />
Canada does not have a formal estate tax. However, when<br />
Canadian residents pass away, they are deemed to have<br />
disposed of all of their worldwide assets at fair market<br />
value. Consequently, a Canadian resident who owns U.S.<br />
real estate or investments may have a large “deemed”<br />
capital gain in addition to a U.S. estate tax liability. The<br />
combination of Canadian tax and U.S. estate tax could<br />
significantly reduce an inheritance’s value. Ultimately,<br />
your assets both inside and outside of Canada require<br />
careful planning. In order to avoid paying unnecessary<br />
tax, it is vital to use the most qualified experts available.<br />
Always consult with a professional who specializes in U.S.<br />
estate tax to ensure you are properly protected.<br />

Special Update<br />
on <strong>PBP</strong>’s LOC<br />
Status!<br />
A special meeting with Brian Pincott, Ward 11<br />
councillor and <strong>PBP</strong>’s representation to the City is in<br />
the works. As you may be aware, we have been in<br />
negotiation since June with the CBE Calgary Board of<br />
Education who owns the land under our community<br />
facility for a new License of Occupation (similar to a<br />
lease, a.k.a. LOC). This is an important issue as the<br />
City of Calgary has transferred its responsibilities to<br />
CBE. In doing so, it is subjecting the future viability<br />
of <strong>PBP</strong> Community Association to the benevolence<br />
of the school board. We are currently negotiating<br />
with the City of Calgary and CBE to change the<br />
termination and expropriation clause that was<br />
originally presented to <strong>PBP</strong> for signature. This<br />
clause, if accepted by our community as originally<br />
presented, would have given the CBE unilateral<br />
rights to terminate the agreement and expropriate<br />
our community association building with 12 months’<br />
notice and *without consideration for alternative<br />
facilities*. All other community associations who<br />
have a lease with the City are entitled to be given<br />
consideration for alternate land and/or building.<br />
The current building was built with member funds<br />
and is currently maintained by our hardworking<br />
volunteers, paid for by your memberships, our<br />
Casino fundraising and grant money. Our recently<br />
completed renovations, including roof, consumed<br />
countless hours and had a big price tag. We will keep<br />
our community members updated on the status of<br />
these negotiations which will happen in October.<br />
Please contact the <strong>PBP</strong> office or myself for more<br />
information or to get involved.<br />

The Fibre Shindig<br />
Calgary has a number of enthusiastic<br />

this year. For one day only, Calgary’s<br />
first ever fibre show takes place at the<br />

Alberta’s Largest<br />
Wildcat<br />
the Cougar<br />
J. Turner<br />
The Cougar, also commonly known as the mountain<br />
lion, is Alberta’s biggest cat. This secretive animal can<br />
be found in wild areas along the full length of western<br />
North America, through Mexico and Central America,<br />
and from coast to coast-in South America. Despite this<br />
wide distribution, cougars are seldom seen by humans.<br />
Adult males can weigh up to 90 kg females are smaller,<br />
averaging about 45 kg. Adults are well camouflaged<br />
with tawny to grey-brown fur, with black tips on their<br />
tails and the backs of their ears. Their heads are small<br />
and round, eyes are brown with large pupils (to see<br />
their prey in dim light), and their sense of smell is excellent.<br />
They have a killing bite, sharp teeth to tear off<br />
chunks of meat, and a rough tongue to clean traces of<br />
meat of their prey’s bones. Their claws are razor-sharp<br />
for bringing down moving prey and for climbing trees.<br />
Their muscles are exceptionally strong, and their skeletons<br />
bend easily for jumping, stretching and twisting.<br />
Cougar’s hind legs are longer than their front ones, for<br />
better spring to pounce on their prey.<br />
Cougars are highly adaptable and can occupy a wide<br />
range of habitats, from rocky areas to deserts and forests.<br />
They live in high to low elevations, and migrate<br />
with roving food sources, such as moose, elk, caribou,<br />
and deer. Cougars are hunt-and-wait predators and silently<br />
lurk in trees or on rocks above an animal trail. They<br />
stalk when their prey is feeding, pouncing and killing<br />
with their strong jaws.<br />
Cougars are solitary animals unless they are with young.<br />
When a female is ready to give birth she finds a den, often<br />
in rock piles or caves, or under deep brush or fallen<br />
trees. Cougars are even known to make use of human<br />
built structures such as doghouses, sheds and hunting<br />
cabins. Two or three cubs are born in the den after a 3<br />
month pregnancy. They are always fawn coloured with<br />
dark spots for camouflage and born very small (on average<br />
about 300 g) with closed eyes and ears. If the den<br />
is threatened by predators or other wandering cougars,<br />
the mother will move them. Despite this protective care,<br />
she will often leave her cubs alone in the den as she<br />
hunts for food to fill their growing bellies. As the little<br />
ones grow, they practice adult skills just outside the<br />
safety of the den, chasing one another, stalking, pouncing,<br />
and wrestling. They develop their hunting skills at<br />
their mother’s side: learning from her expertise and getting<br />
experience. They stay with her until they can hunt<br />
for themselves and leave her for good between 13 and<br />
24 months old.<br />
Cougars are considered apex predators, and as such,<br />
have little to fear from other animals in the wild. In<br />
Alberta, most common cause of death for cougars is<br />
hunting. Secondarily, deaths occur as a consequence of<br />
daily life; fatal injuries result from fights with other cougars<br />
or from hunting prey, collisions with vehicles, and<br />
of course, old age (about 10 years in the wild). Human<br />
encroachment and development, habitat loss and trophy<br />
hunting increasingly threaten cougar populations.<br />
If you find any injured or orphaned wild animal, please<br />
contact the Calgary Wildlife Rehabilitation Society at<br />
403-239-2488 for further tips, instructions and advice.<br />

Alberta Bike Swap<br />
Alberta Bike Swap is pleased to continue our series of<br />
articles that will help improve your knowledge of safe<br />
cycling. A good point to start to every month is the reminder<br />
that safe cycling is up to all road users.<br />
Stop means stop. As a cyclist, you must stop at every<br />
red light, every stop sign, and yield at every yield sign.<br />
You are at a distinct disadvantage on a bike if you run<br />
a red light, other vehicles weigh more. Look at where<br />
a stop sign is in an intersection road, they are set back<br />
behind the sidewalk. It is very dangerous to ride on a<br />
sidewalk, vehicles typically pull past the sidewalk before<br />
they stop. If you are riding a bike on a sidewalk, it is not<br />
only illegal, you are out of the line of sight for drivers.<br />
Mechanical safety tips for this month; from the A category<br />
- make sure you have the right air pressure in you<br />
tires. From the C category, keep your chain lubed. A dry<br />
chain wears quickly and can let you down when you<br />
need it most.<br />
If a supply of our Safe Cycling card would help your community<br />
group could, please email us at albertabikeswap@<br />
gmail.com.<br />
Programming<br />
Update<br />
Please check our website at Facebook at www.<br />
facebook/pbpcommunity.ca or www.pbpcommunity.<br />
ca for more information on fall programming<br />
including seniors’ yoga, computer courses and bridge<br />
lessons. There is still space in the Art Sampler for kids<br />
(6-9) on the Mondays from 3:30 to 5 pm! Also, there is<br />
still time to register your 3-5 year old for preschool –<br />
both mornings and afternoons are now available with<br />
two different providers. Youth and kids’ art, writing,<br />
and other programs have begun planned for October.<br />
Special Message<br />
to Community!<br />
Board Directors<br />
Needed!<br />
Everyone in the community needs to be aware<br />
that the <strong>PBP</strong>’s facilities – main hall, board room,<br />
new multipurpose room, and ice rink, cannot<br />
continue without the support of our committed<br />
volunteer board of directors. As many of our board<br />
members are completing their two year terms<br />
(including myself) we will need to fill at least eight<br />
board director positions to reach our goal of 10<br />
members for our November AGM (Annual General<br />
Meeting). Please note that it is just not possible<br />
for many of our key board members (President,<br />
Communications Director, Secretary, Treasurer)<br />
to step up for a second two-year term as personal<br />
circumstances have changed for many of us. If we<br />
do not have enough nominations in November we<br />
run the real risk of losing our non-profit and charity<br />
status and consequently of losing the rights to our<br />
facility (rink and building) per the conditions of our<br />
pending leases with CBE and the city of Calgary.<br />
Please note that most communities in Calgary have<br />
12 to 20 board members. Please consider making a<br />
two-year, once monthly (2 hours, 10 meetings per<br />
year) commitment to keep a community centre here<br />
serving the needs of Palliser, Bay View and Pump Hill.<br />

Ward 11<br />
www.ward11calgary.ca<br />
Fall is in full swing! As you’ve noticed there are some exciting developments<br />
in community spaces around the ward. Some of the<br />
highlights include a rain garden in Oakridge, skate-parks in Chinook<br />
Park – Kelvin Grove – Eagle Ridge and in Southwood, and<br />
little libraries in Kingsland. For other community happenings, like<br />
a family Halloween event, check in with your Community Association.<br />
After trick-or-treating, be sure to compost your carved pumpkins<br />
as the City of Calgary’s Leaf and Pumpkin Composting<br />
Program is underway. You can bring your bagged leaves and<br />
pumpkins to a depot near you until November 8th. Depots in<br />
Ward 11 include:<br />
• Braeside Athletic Park – 256 Brookpark Drive SW<br />
• Haysboro Community Centre – 1204, 89th Ave SW<br />
• Marda Loop Communities Association – 3130, 16th Street SW<br />
• North Glenmore Park – 6615, 37th Street SW<br />
• South Glenmore Park – Access off 90th Ave and 24th Street SW<br />
• Stanley Park – 330, 42nd Ave SW<br />
Composting your leaves and pumpkins keeps them out of the<br />
landfill, reduces harmful greenhouse gas emissions and helps<br />
turn the leaves and pumpkins into useful compost. Use paper<br />
yard waste bags to really make a difference, as they can be<br />
composted with the rest of the material! Please note, no sod<br />
or rocks are being accepted at these depots. More information<br />
can be found on calgary.ca/leaf.<br />
Here’s another opportunity to make a difference, each fall the<br />
Assessment Review Board, Subdivision and Development Appeal<br />
Board and Licence and Community Standards Appeal<br />
Board look to Calgarians to volunteer and share their expertise.<br />
The Boards hear appeals and formal complaints from the public<br />
on a number of different issues, including decisions made by<br />
The City of Calgary subdivision and development authorities,<br />
the assessed values of property and business as determined<br />
The City of Calgary, and appeals of decisions made by The<br />
City of Calgary Administration. Learn more about how you can<br />
serve on the Boards at calgary.ca/tribunals.<br />
Please contact me with any questions or concerns. If you have<br />
not received my seasonal Ward Update email and would like<br />

Hello, everyone!<br />
MLA Calgary-Glenmore<br />
Anam Kazim<br />
#A208, 1600 - 90th Avenue SW<br />
Calgary, AB Canada T2V 5A8<br />
Ph: (403) 216-5421, Fax: (403) 216-5423<br />
Email: calgary.glenmore@assembly.ab.ca<br />
I hope all of you had a great summer and are getting<br />
ready for a lovely Fall and Thanksgiving season! It has<br />
been a very exciting summer here in Calgary-Glenmore,<br />
from my new role as your MLA to meeting many of you<br />
at amazing community events. I enjoyed many conversations<br />
I have had with constituents and hearing about<br />
their views and ideas for this riding.<br />
I have been fortunate enough to attend a wide variety<br />
of events over the summer including: serving pancakes<br />
at Stampede breakfasts in Calgary Glenmore, cheering<br />
along with the Stampede parade, rowing in a Government<br />
boat for the Charity Team dragon-boat race on the<br />
Glenmore Reservoir, visiting the Women’s Centre for an<br />
engaged discussion about women in poverty, showing<br />
support at the Calgary Pride Parade, and many speaking<br />
engagements including the Anti-Bullying Rally and the<br />
SWCRC’s AGM, and, very importantly, helping to spread<br />
awareness about ovarian cancer at the Walk for Hope.<br />
I am also working towards establishing relationships<br />
with our nine community associations, which work diligently<br />
to provide many important services to Calgarians,<br />
by being present at as many monthly meetings as<br />
possible when I am in Calgary.<br />
Our office has been up and running since June 29th and<br />
remains situated at Glenmore Landing Plaza. Please join<br />
me and other constituents at our Office Opening Meet<br />
and Greet on Monday, October 19 from 11 am to 1 pm;<br />
whether it is to say hello or grab a coffee and donut, I<br />
look forward to meeting you. My office can always be<br />
reached via email at calgary.glenmore@assembly.ab.ca<br />
or by phone 403-216-5421 for a conversation or if you<br />
would like to book an appointment for an in-person<br />
meeting with me.<br />
I will continue to keep you up to date with current and<br />
relevant government news. One of the most important<br />
<strong>matters</strong> in Calgary-Glenmore is the Southwest Calgary<br />
Ring Road project. As this project continues to move<br />
forward, I will keep you posted as to this ongoing work.<br />
One of the first orders of business when we return to the<br />
Alberta Legislature on October 26 will be new budgets<br />
for 2015/ 2016. If you would like to review the budget<br />
reports, please log on to the Government of Alberta<br />
website, www.alberta.ca.<br />
As the changing colour of the leaves become more visible<br />
- my stories of the happenings, events, updates and<br />
more will become more visible to you as well by launching<br />
our newly developed website, so stay posted.<br />
I look forward to meeting and chatting with you!<br />
