President’s MessageKevin Cunningham, President, Ramsay Community AssociationSo much has happened since I last wrote my first presidentsmessage, that it would be difficult to address everything, so Ijust want to touch on some of the bigger points.Ramsay VisioningWe had the big kick off workshop/ info session back inNovember and I want to say that every one of the presenterswho came up to me afterward were blown away at howmany residents attended! I was happy to inform them thatRamsayites are a passionate group of people and are very activein our community. At the visioning session and ever since thatpoint, we have been getting many people stepping up and puttingtheir names forward to be a part of this project. I thinkthat’s awesome, I love the excitement and enthusiasm our communityis showing. We are going to make sure everyone is apart of this.Steering CommitteeAt the last Board meeting on Dec. 13th, the board appointedChuck Smith as chair, and by the time this newsletter isdelivered we will have a full committee of about 15 peoplefrom all different area’s of interest for Ramsay. The goal ofthe visioning exercise is to gather information, perspectives,concerns and views of as many Ramsay residence and Ramsaystakeholders as possible with the end goal being a documentthat frames who and what our community is today and whatwe want it to become in the years to come. The steering committeeis going to organizing and be allocating all the resourcesneeded to make this happen. We want to have a guide ordocument that everyone stands behind and can be used by allthe stakeholders going forward. Look for more to come in thenear future from the steering committee.CommunicationI don’t want to steal any thunder from the progress made byour communications team, so I will just say that I’m very excitedabout what they have coming up! I’m going to talk moreabout external communications. It’s been a busy few monthsfor me with relationship building being a priority. Here is alist of just some of the event’s I’ve attended: Alexander centreAGM, Inglewood community association general meeting,beltline community planning committee meeting, Wayne CaoChristmas event, ward 9 communities governance workshop,meetings with stampede representatives and our alderman,meeting with Carlee Bojarski (our community liaison officer),Lilydale action series and as well meeting with RCA committee’s.It’s been busy! My future plans are to get togetherand establish relationships with East Village, Erlton andBridgeland.Natural StepAt the visioning session we had a presentation from theNatural Step group. They are a global organization that workswith nations all the way down to communities on developingsustainability plans. They are currently looking for a communityin Calgary to work with and help them build a communitysustainability guidebook, offering training and facilitatingto get the guiding document completed. We have put in anapplication to be the community they work with, we will beable to report what the results of this are at the Feb. 7th generalmeeting.Fire in Our CommunityOn Saturday January 7th, there was a tragic house fire in ourcommunity, our hearts go out to Ed and Vanessa Waddingtonwho have lived in Ramsay for many, many years. Nicole Schonof the Safety Committee has been soliciting household goodsand other donations on their behalf. She can be contacted at403-605-1074. We welcome any ideas or feedback on ways tohelp this family with their immediate and long-term needs.cheers, — kevin cunningham 403.680.0854Hon.

I wanted to share with you a brief historicalpicture of the history of our area, particularly because after thenext election is called the name will change to Calgary-Acadia.Calgary-Egmont is named after Frederick George MoorePerceval (the 11th Earl of Egmont), who was born in Calgaryin 1914. In 1939, the British House of Lords recognized hisfamily with the title of “Earl of Egmont”. After receiving thistitle, Mr. Perceval built a 26-room home which was, at thetime, outside of Calgary near what is now the intersection ofWillow Park Drive and MacLeod Trail. This house wouldremain Mr. Perceval’s home until 1959, when he moved withhis family to the Two Dot Ranch near Nanton.Although Mr. Perceval’s original house was demolished in1967 to make way for the development of our area, I’m toldthat the staircase from the house is now at the Black Swan pubon Southport Road.Despite numerous pressures and opportunities to return toLondon to take up his seat in the House of Lords, Mr. Percevalwas committed to his friends, neighbours, and our province,continuing to make Southern Alberta his home until his deathin 2001. Although our constituency name is set to change, weshould all be proud of the prestigious name that our area hashad since 1971 in honor of Mr. Perceval and his family’s manycontributions to our province.Ramsay News page 4
