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 />

McLAWS LAW<br />

Experienced, cost effective and practical<br />

advice, representation and counsel<br />

to meet your legal needs<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 />

this year. For one day only, Calgary’s<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 />

to, please sign up at www.ward11calgary.ca, or by emailing my<br />

office at ward11@calgary.ca. Feel free to connect with me on<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 />
