November Thoughts 

The leaves have fallen the gardens are at rest 

Geese fly by on their long journey south 

As the rabbits turn from brown to white 

Preparing, waiting for the inevitable 

The season of the witch has past by 

Colors have turned from orange to grey 

The silence settles in as Armistice Day approaches 

A day of remembering a day of appreciation a day of 

sorrow 

Many came before us with messages of love 

Many came before us with messages of peace 

Many came before us with messages of hope 

Now is the time to listen now is the time to act 

COMMUNITY NEWSLETTER PUBLICATIONS 

Let not the messages be unheard 

Let not the messages be forgotten 

Carry them in your heart and carry them through life 

Be the peacemaker be the difference maker honor the 

dead. 

On November 11, take the time to think about why we 

gather. Take the time to honor the veterans and pray 

that the world will turn away from war and start to honor 

and value human life.

Community Happenings: 

November seems to be that month that sneaks up on 

us and forces us to take time to evaluate and plan for 

the coming New Year. We had our AGM last month and 

a civic election as well. I would like to welcome all our 

new board members and wish them a successful year. 

The leaving board members will be missed as they gave 

their heart and soul to this community an d set the bar 

high for the rest of us, filling their shoes will be difficult. 

The board wishes them good luck in their future 

endeavors and hopes that they will like to hear from us 

occasionally when their needed expertise is required.

Corpus Christie Elementary 

Engaging All Learners in Success 

Corpus Christi Elementary is very excited to have a 

wonderful start up to another amazing year engaging 

our learners in success. Our school community works 

together with the Parish of Corpus Christi, our School 

Council and Calgary Catholic School district to provide 

an environment that focuses on the whole learner. 

This fall we have had Kelsey McEwan from CTV Morning 

show join our Gr. 5 class to discuss Weather! Our 

students brought in cans of soup and vegetables for 

We Can We Care in support of the St. Vincent de Paul 

Society. 

Last year we were the very proud recipients of a beautiful 

garden as we were the Arbor Day school for the year. 

An exciting time with so many great guests including 

Calgary’s very own Mayor Nenshi! 

Parents please join us at our next mass at the church 

and/or come out to one of our School Council meetings. 

We are a little school with Big Ideas! 

Melina Akins, Principal, Corpus Christi Elementary 

News from Huntington Hills 

School 

Huntington Hills School is excited to offer the Big Brothers 

Big Sisters Teen Mentoring program to students at 

our school. A high school student from Diefenbaker 

High School comes to mentor one of our students once 

a week on Friday afternoons. The ‘littles’ at our school 

are transformed by this connection to a caring teen and 

look forward to their weekly visits. 

On Thursday, September 26, 2013 all of our students, 

staff, and some of our families participated in the national 

school run for the Terry Fox Foundation to carry 

on the journey to end cancer once and for all. We are 

thrilled to announce we raised OVER $1200.00 this year. 

A special thank you to Ms Renette Kurz, our physical 

education teacher, for organizing this event. 

We would like to thank all of our Huntington Hills families 

and staff for joining us at the Chapters/Indigo open 

house on September 26 to support our school library 

resources. We raised over $800. A special guest, school 

trustee Lynn Ferguson, also came to show her support. 

It was a fantastic evening. 

Our Remembrance Day Assembly will be held on Friday, 

November 8, in the morning. If you would like to come 

and join us, the public are welcome. 

We also want to welcome all of our new families who are 

sending their children our way this year. Please accept 

an invitation to come out to one of our School Council 

meetings on Thursday October 10, or Thursday November 

7, at 6:30pm and learn how you can be part of the 

incredible work being done to support students here 

at Huntington Hills. Additional dates are noted on our 

school webpage. Babysitting is provided and we look 

forward to your help and support in the school. 

If you are interested in purchasing a Student Union Ticket 

Pack, please feel free to drop by the school. Cost is $20 

and proceeds go to purchasing iPads for the classrooms.

CommuNITy RELATIoNS 

REPoRT 

By Mary LaCoste 

I have not submitted an article for the last couple of Horizons 

as I was dealing with family matters. I lost my oldest 

brother to the big C and found myself late in submitting 

two issues, for this I apologize. I hope all our little ghosts 

and goblins were safe on Halloween and got lots of loot. 

I do want to acknowledge our past Stampede event and 

thank the Booster Club and my young volunteers for 

once again a job well done. This year we had three new 

bands and everyone enjoyed the music. In the hall we 

had a band perform while everyone enjoyed their pancakes 

and sausages. Outside in the Beer Gardens we had 

two bands perform throughout the day. We have booked 

them again for next year. Throughout the day, we took 

up a collection for flood relief at the bar. Proceeds from 

our 50/50 draws were also put into the flood relief fund. 

We thank everyone you donated to the cause and are 

happy to say we raised $1200.00 for Flood Relief. One of 

the 50/50 draws was won by an evacuee from Bowness, 

what a great feeling it was to see someone in need win. 

We all remember the rain we had all summer and low and 

behold we were hit in the late afternoon. However, with 

a few helping hands we were able to move our function 

minus the music to our Main hall and keep the party going. 

Thank you to Genny, Jerry and John for their consideration 

in accommodating this venture. It was a beautiful 

day and very fulfilling for me to witness everyone 

lending a hand and enjoying all the festivities of the day. 

I also want to acknowledge Genny Kwiatkowski, who after 

all the years she has spent in Thorncliffe, received a job promotion 

which included a move to Sarnia, Ontario. I worked 

with Genny for at least 25 years and will surely miss her. I 

wish her and Jerry all the best and hope to see them back 

here when they retire. A retirement/going away party was 

held in the lounge in her honour and I would like to thank 

Lorna, our new Lounge/Rec Centre/Banquet Manager, for a 

job well done. I took it upon myself to honor Genny with a 

special gift. As I mentioned to her when we would be decorating 

or whatever she would be ready to shut it down and 

I would always be pecking “lets do this” or “lets do that” and 

so the decorating would continue. So, it seemed fitting for 

me to honor her with a “pecking” rooster to remind her of 

our times together. Our President, Leslie DeGagne, came 

out one evening to the Community and took a picture of 

the Centre and had it framed and presented it to Genny. 

Jerry was awarded his lifetime membership for his volunteer 

time. All and all Genny and Jerry felt our compassion 

and love for them, they will be greatly missed. 

There will be a Friday Dance held November 9, 2013, the 

last one for the season, at 7:00pm. I would like to Thank Cecile 

Dombeski and her committee for the work they do to 

put on these dances. Dances will resume March 28, 2014. 

Mark your calendars for the Children’s Christmas Party 

which takes place Friday December 6, 2013 and will 

surely have a special visitor. Keep an eye on the Bulletin 

Boards throughout the Community or the Website for 

more information on this event. 

At the time of writing this article, we are busy planning 

our New Year’s Eve Gala. We would like to see our Members 

come out and enjoy themselves and help us ring in 

the New Year. This year sees a New Band, Tequila Rain”, 

performing for the evening as well as a buffet dinner 

provided by Ollie’s Homestyle Cooking. Last year we 

had a couple of groups of people for the New Year’s Party 

that left early on account of the music. Therefore we 

have decided to change things up and go with a new 

band. There will be table reservations, so please book 

early. I have been told by my husband that I never forget 

anything, so I am looking forward to seeing all of 

those that said they would attend the New Year’s Gala 

this year. Let’s ring in the New Year as only we at Thorncliffe 

can!

GRAND OPENING! 

Be part of the conversation to help 

shape the future of transportation 

planning in Calgary 

The City of Calgary’s Transportation Planning team 

is conducting a review of the transportation corridor 

study process and is hosting two workshops in November 

to gather input from citizens. 

A corridor study is a long-term transportation system 

analysis which examines the current and future transportation 

planning needs for a specific area of the city. 

This review will help create a new City of Calgary policy 

so The City can better plan and engage with citizens 

about transportation corridors now and into the future. 

Transportation Corridor Studies are important because 

they will shape how people get to work, how they travel 

through their neighbourhoods and how goods are 

transported across the city for years to come. 

The City of Calgary knows that your community has 

participated in past transportation planning projects 

and has the exact “know-how” to help The City make 

informed decisions during the Transportation Corridor 

Study Review Project. 

North Gym Club 

Grand Opening Sat. Dec 7, noon - 4 pm 

The project team will be holding a northeast workshop 

on the evening of Wednesday, Nov. 20, 2013 and a central-west 

workshop on the morning of Saturday, Nov. 

23, 2013. For information and details about how to take 

part in the project and to RSVP for one of the events, 

please visit Calgary.ca/corridorstudies or call 3-1-1.

COMMUNITY ASSOCIATION MEMBERSHIP 

Benefits 

Successful, healthy communities are generally those 

with active and sustained membership and involvement 

of the community residents. Often a strong membership 

representation is an indication that our association is 

serving the needs of the community and is therefore, 

valued and supported by its residents. Your support 

today is important and ensures new energy to continually 

address community issues. Your membership fee goes 

towards community events, programs & operating costs.

All new members must provide I.D. with current address. 

Members agree to abide by the bylaws, policies and 

procedures governing the Thorncliffe Greenview 

Community Association. Residence must be WITHIN

to obtain a voting membership. Membership cards will 

be mailed. Children of Voting members, 7 yrs or older, 

will also receive their own cards. It is your responsibility 

to notify the office of any address changes. If you wish to 

retain your membership after moving out of community 

boundaries, you must pay for it each year before expiry 

date. Failure to do so will result in the loss of your 

membership, no exceptions. Memberships will not be 

renewed if membership is not in good standing. Anyone

Georges P. Vanier Students 

Survey the Effect of Human 

Activity on the Bow River. 

The Grade eight and nine students at Georges P. Vanier 

School recently went on their annual Riverwatch field trip. 

Here is the account of one our students: “We were able to 

raft down the Bow River until we arrived at the Bonnybrook 

Sewage Treatment Plant. There we got a close (but stinky!) 

look at the process that Calgary’s water goes through before 

it is returned to the Bow River for human consumption 

and usage further south. We then got back into our boats 

and headed for the end point at Glenmore Trail. 

The trip started with a raft ride down the Bow River to 

enjoy the scenery and learn about the environment surrounding 

us and the animals that live there. Along the 

way we stopped and performed tests on the pH levels; 

amount of dissolved oxygen; nitrate, phosphate, and 

ammonia levels; velocity, turbidity and temperature; and 

looked at the biological indicators that live in the river. 

We started our tour of the Treatment Plant by taking a 

short but somewhat smelly walk through the Headworks. 

The next few machines that we looked at were used to 

help remove bigger debris from the water. The last process 

in the treatment of the water was the Ultra Violet 

Disinfection tank which is used to make the bacteria stop 

reproducing and make the water healthier for utilization. 

Overall, the trip was educational, but very fun as well 

and all of us had a very good time. 

The author, Amy is a Grade 8 student at Georges P. Vanier School. 

A Flurry of Books 

We are a winter nation. Kids know instinctively that winter 

can be a whole lot of fun. Calgary Reads suggests 

that this winter you celebrate our signature season 

along with your children. A warm way to start, while still 

in the comfort of your cozy house, is to indulge in some 

fun snow-themed books. Here are some suggestions for 

winter reading that will help you and your young ones 

get really excited about the snowy season. 

Children’s Winter Reading List 

For infant to kindergarten aged kids: 

Snow by Uri Schulevitz 

Owl Moon by Jane Yolen 

Building an Igloo by Ulli Steltzer 

The Snowy Day by Ezra Jack Keats 

A Penguin Story by Antoinette Portis 

For the grade one and two crowd: 

Winter Eyes: Poems and Paintings by Douglas Florian 

Snow Music by Lynne Rae Perkins 

Snowflake Bentley by Jacqueline Martin 

The Polar Express by Chris Van Allsburg 

The Snow Show by Carolyn Fisher 

Calgary Reads vision is a thriving community where all 

children read with confidence and joy. Get involved as a 

reading tutor, a booksale volunteer, on one of our committees, 

or by simply spreading the joy of reading. We 

have lots of fun group and corporate volunteer opportunities 

too. Find out more at www.calgaryreads.com.

from The Calgary Urban Coyote Project, supported by Calgary 

Parks & the Animal Control/Bylaw Department. This was a catch 

and release study, using GPS in Nose Hill and other City parks. 

Earlier this year, the timeline to present ImagineParks to Council 

was this winter. A second draft was posted, with goals, strategy, 

glossary, and other content. This long-term vision for municipal 

parks and open spaces is at www.calgary.ca/imagineparks. 

Due to the June flood response and the municipal election, 

some committee reports, including this one, were resched- 

The Parks Department resumed work on the Biodiversity Action 

Plan (BAP). Stakeholder input was compiled and an outline 

will be circulated, for review. Each phase is expected to 

take about 6 weeks. 

The City's Biodiversity Plan is a snapshot of The Canadian Biodiversity 

Plan which deals with 5 basic goals: 

• Conservation 

• Ecological Management 

• Education and awareness 

• Incentives and legislation 

• International Cooperation 

Our Living Legacy: a Vision for Canada deals with wild flora 

and fauna, protected areas, restoration and rehabilitation; sustainable 

use of resources, bio-safety, population and settlement; 

resource management and monitoring.

vegetables for a very low cost. Thorncliffe Greenview 

Community Association now has a Good Food Box 

Depot. You receive top quality produce at wholesale 

prices. There are three sizes of boxes to choose from. 

The large box ($30.00) contains 40 plus pounds of 

produce. The medium box ($25.00) contains 30 plus 

pounds of produce. The small box ($20.00) contains 20 

plus pounds of produce. You only order the size you 

want, when you want. How do you get a food box? Bring 

your exact cash to the Horizon Room at Thorncliffe 

Greenview Community Centre between 2:00 and 5:00

Rosemont School 

October promises to be a busy and exciting month at 

Rosemont School! Two classes will participate in Open 

Minds/Campus Calgary experiences. Room 1 will spend 

a week at the Glenbow Museum. This will be a great opportunity 

for the students to study their local community 

and expand their understanding of the larger community 

of Calgary and southern Alberta. Room 4 will spend 

a week at Ralph Klein Park as part of Eco-Action School. 

Their week will be spent learning about parkland and 

wetland ecosystems with a focus on conservation. 

On October 7, we were happy to host Olympic athlete Georgia 

Simmerling. Georgia spoke to our students about her 

experience as an elite athlete and introduced the students 

to the sports of Downhill Skiing and Ski Cross. Halloween 

will be celebrated with our annual Halloween Carnival on 

October 25. This will be followed by a costume parade on 

the afternoon of October 31. We have also started our yoga 

for kids program as part of our physical education program.

The Northern 

Saw-Whet 

owl 

Native to North America, the Northern Saw-Whet Owl 

is one of the smallest owls found on the continent. 

They range from 6.7 to 8.7 inches long and weigh 

from 1.9 to 5.3 ounces. When in flight, however, they 

appear much larger due to their wingspan of 17 to 

22.2 inches. Like many owl species, the females are 

slightly larger than the males. Northern Saw-Whet 

Owls have round white faces with brown and cream 

outlines, dark beaks, and large yellow eyes. Some of 

these owls will migrate south for the winter, while 

some may take up permanent residence. They are 

named for the sound they make, which is said to 

resemble the sound of sharpening on a saw on a 

whetstone. You can hear their call more often in the 

springtime when they are looking for a mate, but 

they are vocal year-round. 

These owls are completely nocturnal, and are therefore 

rarely seen. During the day, they rest on low 

branches, camouflaged by tree branches. When ap-

Report to Constituents 

My recent appointment as Minister of State for Western 

Economic Diversification (WD) has resulted in a very 

busy summer. I am honored to join the cabinet table on 

behalf of Alberta and western Canadians and to play a 

key part in the shaping of our region’s economic future. 

Through WD, our Government invests in western businesses 

and industries and supports innovative entrepreneurs 

in pursuing emerging markets. Western Canada is 

well-positioned to capitalize on the many opportunities 

available in the global market and I am strongly committed 

to helping Western Canada remain a driving 

force in the economy of our country, both today and for 

the long-term. 

I am confident that with this targeted approach, we will 

continue to realize new economic opportunities while creating 

jobs, economic growth, and long-term prosperity. 

Since my appointment, our Government has delivered 

funding for some key economic activities and projects 

including: 

• Canadian Forces personnel moving into civilian life will 

now have access to the training needed to launch and 

sustain successful businesses, with WD funding going 

towards the Prince's Operation Entrepreneur (POE) 

program. 

• WD funding will support medical commercialization 

efforts at the Li KaShing Applied Virology Institute at 

the University of Alberta, allowing for the purchase of 

specialized equipment that will be used to conduct 

pre-commercialization activities for the development 

and testing of new vaccines and therapies. 

• Support for the 2013 Aerospace, Defense and Security 

Expo, a series of workshops, presentations and networking 

events, showcasing western Canadian companies 

and helping them reach new markets. 

• The Manitoba Pulse Growers Association, in partnership 

with the Manitoba Corn Growers Association, will 

receive support from our Government for the purchase 

of specialized agricultural equipment to seed and harvest 

soybean and corn research test fields to facilitate 

agronomic research. 

• WD funding to enable the Composites Innovation Centre 

in Winnipeg to purchase composites equipment, 

complete capital upgrades and hire specialized incremental 

staff to support initiatives that will help expand 

the western aerospace composites sector. 

As always I appreciate your input and feedback on issues 

that are important to you and your families. In my 

new role, I remain committed to faithfully serving my 

constituents while showing the world that the West 

means business. 

As your MP, I look forward to meeting and working with 

you on the issues that are important to you in the coming 

months. 

The Northern 

Saw-Whet owl cont’d 

proached, their instincts are to remain still and 

silent instead of flying away, which makes them 

even more difficult to spot. Because of their excellent 

camouflage, they are not as well-researched 

as many other animal species in our area. Northern 

Saw-Whet Owls wake around dusk, when they begin 

to hunt. They wait patiently on branches until 

they detect a small mammal like a mouse, chipmunk, 

or vole, and then they swoop down on them. 

These tiny owls have excellent hearing and lowlight 

vision, which helps them to hunt in the night. 

Northern Saw-Whet Owls mainly breed in evergreen 

forests, taking residence in old woodpecker 

nests or natural cavities of trees. The females lay an 

average of 5 to 6 eggs per clutch, and then remain 

with the eggs to incubate them while the male 

hunts and provides protection. 

If one of these little owls or another wild animal 

needs help, please contact the Calgary Wildlife Rehabilitation 

Society at 403-239-2488 for further instruction.

Letter from our Ward 4 Alderman on the occasion of 

Edgemont’s 35th Anniversary: 

On behalf of the City of Calgary I would like to congratulate 

the community of Edgemont on 35 years. 

Edgemont has a history of celebrating its diversity 

through various cultural events. It is a community that 

continues to develop successful partnerships whether it 

is with business or the local schools. Edgemont is also 

very caring by making sure the most vulnerable of its 

residents never go without whether it is through the 

Christmas hamper program or neighbours looking out 

for each other. 

The residents of Edgemont can take great pride in 

where they live and I am confident that this community 

will continue to grow and remain one of the best places 

to live in Calgary.
