    Service Alerts – Digital Displays TriMet has digital displays at most MAX Light Rail stations to provide real-time arrival information as well as service disruption/delay messaging. Some of the displays are flat screens as shown to the right. Others are reader boards. Due to space, the messages need to be as condensed as possible. While we regularly post the same alert at stations along a line, during the Rose Quarter MAX Improvements we provided more specific alerts by geographical locations and even individual stations.

  • Quarry Park News
    e: [email protected] w: www.quarrypark.ca QUARRY PARK NEWS QUARRY PARK NEWSLETTER JUNE 2017 WELCOME SUMMER! Summer is finally here and gardening season is in full swing! We all want our neighbourhood looking its very best, and well maintained lawns and boulevards go a long way to ensure that our community is safe, clean and attractive. Yard maintenance falls under Community Standards Bylaw 5M2004, which can be reviewed in detail at www.calgary.ca/CSPS/ABS/Pages/Bylaws-by-topic/Yards.aspx. We have listed a few of the main topics addressed in the bylaw below: Grass and Weeds Owners/occupiers of a property are generally responsible for caring for and maintaining their property and adjacent areas such as boulevards, sidewalks and lanes, up to the centre of the back alley. Keep weeds under control and don’t allow them to spread onto other properties. Any invasive plants and noxious weeds must be destroyed, but should not be placed in a composter as this will contribute to the seed spreading. Use pesticides responsibly, consider chemical- free alternatives, and advise your neighbours before you use a pesticide. The best time to water your lawn is early in the morning or after it cools off in the evening. Please make sure water isn’t running onto the street or sidewalk. For water-saving tips, visit the City of Calgary Water Services web site at www.calgary.ca/waterservices. Trees and Shrubs Trees and shrubs on public sidewalks and boulevards are maintained by the City of Calgary and are protected under the Tree Protection Bylaw.

  • A Global Initiative to Stop Congenital Diaphragmatic Hernia Dawn Ireland, President
    Nonprofit Impact Report 2020 A global initiative to stop Congenital Diaphragmatic Hernia Dawn Ireland, President A Note From Dawn Ireland, President Dear CDH International Members and Supporters, We spent our first 24 years blazing the path for CDH charities and creating a global community for the benefit of our kids. And then came Covid and things could’ve grinded to screeching halt. Many charities folded in 2020… CDH International did not. We held our 2020 CDH Telethon as our President, Dawn Ireland, herself was battling Covid while on camera for 12 hours. This fall, Tracy Meats, head of our Support Department, had a heart attack and still continued to try to work just a week later. Our big 25th Anniversary CDH Conference in Toronto was cancelled. Research conferences held virtually. Volunteers and Board Members quit because they couldn’t handle the pressures of 2020 and charity work too. Donations fell to 50% of the previous year but with the help of our amazing, Fundraising Team, lead by Nicolle Colvin, fundraisers increased by 74% during a global pandemic! We made it. And we grew. In July, CDH International became a registered research non-profit organization in the UK after 25 years of volunteers and support. In December, CDH International became a registered non-profit organization in Hong Kong, Singapore, the Netherlands and Switzerland. CDH International was first envisioned sitting beside a baby boy’s hospital bed in 1993. It became a reality in the form of CHERUBS in 1995. Now, we are the world’s oldest, largest and leader in the fight against Congenital Diaphragmatic Hernia.

  • Studying North Central Light Rail Transit (LRT) Options
    Studying North Central Light Rail Transit (LRT) Options History of the North Central LRT Study In 2006, Calgary City Council approved an alignment for the North Central light rail transit (LRT) that roughly paralleled Nose Creek and Deerfoot Trail along the Canadian Pacific Rail line. In 2011, the City engaged with citizens to better understand if that route was the best option. Calgarians responded, highlighting a number of key values and expectations, including the need to look more closely at Centre Street and Edmonton Trail options. In 2012, the City initiated a study to determine where the future north-central leg of the LRT network should go to provide the best transit service for the community. The concept study is underway and will be completed in 2014. About the North Central LRT Study From the beginning, the community has played an important role in Community Principles creating the North Central LRT study. Input from Calgarians helped to The North Central LRT should: build the project vision statement and a corresponding set of project principles. • Enhance connectivity between people and places, connecting to all modes of transportation in the community; Project Vision Statement • Contribute positively to community development and revitalization; The City of Calgary is working to improve mobility in existing and new • Be the affordable transportation mode; communities in North Central Calgary by planning a transit service • Be accessible for people to get to, board and use; that will connect people and places in the community and enhance • Contribute to the character and cohesion of the community the quality of life in the City.

    FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE National Media Contact: Sobia Khan 519-749-8491 Ext. 130 [email protected] #LightItUp4HD Calgary (Calgary, AB) May 24, 2017 – Did you know May is Huntington Disease (HD) Awareness Month in Canada? To celebrate, local monuments across the nation, including the Calgary Tower, will be illuminated in blue and purple lights. “Seeing national and global monuments lit up in the colours representative of HD and Juvenile Huntington Disease is a great way to gain a better understanding of the impact of the disease on generations of families,” says Sobia Khan, Communications Coordinator for the Huntington Society of Canada. “It means so much to the families impacted by HD to not only see nationwide recognition of the disease, but awareness around the world as well.” Volunteers from a network of local chapters across Canada have worked hard to raise awareness about the disease and the support available to the thousands of Canadian families affected by HD. On May 26, Calgarians will see the Arts Commons, Calgary Tower, Glenbow Museum, Reconciliation Bridge, Olympic Plaza, Stephen Avenue Galleria Trees, and Telus Spark lit up with pride in blue and purple, the HD colours. “Many of those affected by Huntington disease keep it a secret from their families in fear of the stigma and discrimination associated with the disease,” adds Khan. “The #LightItUp4HD campaign is an opportunity to raise awareness, make connections, start a conversation, garner support from Canadians, and move forward with pride and dignity.” Other countries taking part in the #LightItUp4HD campaign this month, include Scotland, Germany, Spain, Ireland, and the United States.
